Halobacterium salinarum NRC-1 Sustains Voltage Production in a Dual-Chambered Closed Microbial Fuel Cell. [PDF]
Sustained bioenergy production from organisms that thrive in high salinity, low oxygen, and low nutrition levels is useful in monitoring hypersaline polluted environments. Microbial fuel cell (MFC) studies utilizing single species halophiles under salt concentrations higher than 1 M and as a closed microbial system are limited.

Brain Connectivity Studies on Structure-Function Relationships: A Short Survey with an Emphasis on Machine Learning. [PDF]
This short survey reviews the recent literature on the relationship between the brain structure and its functional dynamics. Imaging techniques such as diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) make it possible to reconstruct axonal fiber tracks and describe the structural connectivity (SC) between brain regions.

PINN‐CDR: A Neural Network‐Based Simulation Tool for Convection‐Diffusion‐Reaction Systems
In this paper, a discretization‐free approach based on the physics‐informed neural network (PINN) is proposed for solving the forward and inverse problems governed by the nonlinear convection‐diffusion‐reaction (CDR) systems. By embedding physical information described by the CDR system in the feedforward neural networks, PINN is trained to approximate

Second‐order impulsive differential systems with mixed delays: Oscillation theorems
In this work, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the oscillation of solutions of a second‐order neutral differential equation with impulses. Two examples are provided to show the effectiveness and feasibility of the main results. Our main tool is the Lebesgue's Dominated Convergence theorem.

Large‐Eddy Simulations of a Convection Cloud Chamber: Sensitivity to Bin Microphysics and Advection
Abstract Bin microphysics schemes are useful tools for cloud simulations and are often considered to provide a benchmark for model intercomparison. However, they may experience issues with numerical diffusion, which are not well quantified, and the transport of hydrometeors depends on the choice of advection scheme, which can also change cloud ...

Abstract We construct an example of a smooth convex function on the plane with a strict minimum at zero, which is real analytic except at zero, for which Thom's gradient conjecture fails both at zero and infinity. More precisely, the gradient orbits of the function spiral around zero and at infinity.

Oscillation of Third‐Order Nonlinear Generalized Difference Equation with Multiple Neutral Terms
In this paper, the authors discuss the oscillatory behaviour of a third order generalized difference equation with multiple neutral terms. We have also applied Riccati transformation and Philo type technique to derive new oscillation criteria for the difference equation in question. Suitable examples are provided to validate our main results.

Fast and Efficient Numerical Finite Difference Method for Multiphase Image Segmentation
We present a simple numerical solution algorithm for a gradient flow for the Modica–Mortola functional and numerically investigate its dynamics. The proposed numerical algorithm involves both the operator splitting and the explicit Euler methods. A time step formula is derived from the stability analysis, and the goodness of fit of transition width is ...
