Differences in the effects of turns and constrictions on the resistive response in current-biased superconducting wire after single photon absorption [PDF]
We study how turns and constrictions affect the resistive response of the superconducting wire after instant in time and local in space heating, which models the absorption of the single photon by the wire. We find that the presence of constriction favors detection of photons of various energies but the presence of turn increases only ability to detect

Twin neural network regression
We propose to reformulate a regression problem into predicting differences between target values. This allows for leveraging consistency conditions which can be used as uncertainty estimates and enable the production of an ensemble of predictions while training only a single neural network.

Selumetinib, an Oral Anti-Neoplastic Drug, May Attenuate Cardiac Hypertrophy via Targeting the ERK Pathway. [PDF]
Although extracellular-regulated kinases (ERK) are a well-known central mediator in cardiac hypertrophy, no clinically available ERK antagonist has been tested for preventing cardiac hypertrophy.

Experimental Validation of Simplified Free Jet Turbulence Models Applied to the Vocal Tract [PDF]
Sound production due to turbulence is widely shown to be an important phenomenon involved in a.o. fricatives, singing, whispering and speech pathologies. In spite of its relevance turbulent flow is not considered in classical physical speech production models mostly dealing with voiced sound production. The current study presents preliminary results of

Role of coronary artery spasm in symptomatic and silent myocardial ischemia [PDF]
The revival of the concept of coronary spasm has stimulated research into coronary artery disease. Observations in patients with variant angina have substantially contributed to the appreciation of painless myocardial ischemia.

Studies on eosinophils in bone-marrow tissue culture of the human sternum Part 1. Observations on the behaviors of eosinophils in bone-marrow tissue culture of the sternum in patients with various eosinophilia [PDF]
Of eosinophilias that we often encounter clinically, we selected two of the most representative ones, namely, hookworm diseae and bronchial astma, for our present sternal bone-marrow tissue culture, and studied the movement patterns and wandering ...

Biological and Mechanical Limitations for Chronic Fast‐Scan Cyclic Voltammetry Sensor Design
Real‐time detection of neurochemicals has demonstrated value in the field of neuroscience. However, current methods have limitations for use in the chronic setting, which is often the ideal environment for research. This article discusses these limitations, as well as technologies that have been developed to overcome them, and provides recommendations ...
