Diversity of vibrissal follicle anatomy in cetaceans
Abstract Most cetaceans are born with vibrissae but they can be lost or reduced in adulthood, especially in odontocetes. Despite this, some species of odontocetes have been found to have functioning vibrissal follicles (including the follicle itself and any remaining vibrissal hair shaft) that play a role in mechanoreception, proprioception and ...

What can whiskers tell us about mammalian evolution, behaviour, and ecology?
The majority of whisker research has been focused on rodents, marsupials, and pinnipeds, and we use these studies to infer patterns in many mammalian species. There are similarities in whisker form across mammals; for example, whiskers are all touch‐sensitive, slender, curved tapered hairs, with a common muscle architecture.

The Singlet-Triplet Pseudo-Jahn-Teller Centers in Copper Oxides [PDF]
One of the most exciting features of the hole centers CuO_{4}^{5-} in doped cuprates is an unusually complicated ground state which is the result of the electronic quasi-degeneracy.

A hybrid residual neural network–Monte Carlo approach to invert surface wave dispersion data
ABSTRACT Surface‐wave inversion is a non‐linear and ill‐conditioned problem usually solved through deterministic or global optimization approaches. Here, we present an alternative method based on machine learning. Under the assumption of a local one‐dimensional model, we train a residual neural network to predict the non‐linear mapping between the full

Studies in Mysticism and Mystical Experience in the Soviet and Post-Soviet Russia [PDF]
The paper highlights the key perspectives on mysticism typical for Soviet and Post-Soviet religious studies. Recognizing the vagueness of the ”mystical’, Soviet scholars interpreted it as a belief in ”communication’ with ”supernatural powers ...

EPR Methods for Biological Cu(II): L-Band CW and NARS [PDF]
: Copper has many roles in biology that involve the change of coordination sphere and/or oxidation state of the copper ion. Consequently, the study of copper in heterogeneous environments is an important area in biophysics. EPR is a primary technique for

Orbital ordering in charge transfer insulators [PDF]
We discuss a new mechanism of orbital ordering, which in charge transfer insulators is more important than the usual exchange interactions and which can make the very type of the ground state of a charge transfer insulator, i.e.
