Shared and Unique Neural Codes for Biological Motion Perception in Humans and Macaque Monkeys

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Cross‐species fMRI studies reveal distinct neural mechanisms for biological motion (BM) processing. In humans, the posterior superior temporal sulcus (hpSTS) selectively responds to conspecific BM, while monkeys process BM from both species in the middle temporal area (MT).

Superchaotropic Nano‐ion Binding as a Gelation Motif in Cellulose Ether Solutions

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Volume 62, Issue 3, January 16, 2023., 2023
Nano‐ions, like polyoxometalates and boron clusters, co‐assemble strongly with non‐ionic solutes in water driven by the chaotropic effect. Here, nano‐ion assembly with non‐ionic cellulose ethers (CE) is shown to result in unprecedented thickening effects and gelation of CE‐solutions. An interplay of electrostatic repulsion and attraction between chains

SAURON Observations of Disks in Spheroids

, 2001
The panoramic integral-field spectrograph SAURON is currently being used to map the stellar kinematics, gaseous kinematics, and stellar populations of a large number of early-type galaxies and bulges. Here, we describe SAURON observations of cold stellar

Detecting Triaxiality in the Galactic Dark Matter Halo through Stellar Kinematics II: Dependence on Dark Matter and Gravity Nature [PDF]

, 2015
Recent studies have presented evidence that the Milky Way global potential may be nonspherical. In this case, the assembling process of the Galaxy may have left long lasting stellar halo kinematic fossils due to the shape of the dark matter halo, potentially originated by orbital resonances.

Dimethyl Sulfoxide and Sodium Chloride Modulate the Crystal Structure in PMIA to Enhance Dyeing Performance: Molecular Dynamics Simulation and Experimental Investigations

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study combines experiments and molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the effects of DMSO/NaCl on the microstructural modulation and dyeing properties of meta‐aramid (PMIA). The findings suggested the effect of DMSO/NaCl disrupts the hydrogen‐bonding network of PMIA, improves the movement of molecular chains, increases the free volume of ...

Bioinspired Mechanisms and Actuation of Soft Robotic Crawlers

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Researchers have been developing soft materials and robotic crawlers inspired by soft‐bodied animals to mimic effective crawling in complex environments. This review explores the state‐of‐the‐art in soft crawlers, highlighting the interaction between materials, crawling mechanisms, actuation, and applications. The review concludes by providing insights

The counterrotating core and the black hole mass of IC1459 [PDF]

, 2002
The E3 giant elliptical galaxy IC1459 is the prototypical galaxy with a fast counterrotating stellar core. We obtained one HST/STIS long-slit spectrum along the major axis of this galaxy and CTIO spectra along five position angles.

CLusters in the Uv as EngineS (CLUES). II. Subkiloparsec-scale Outflows Driven by Stellar Feedback

The Astronomical Journal
We analyze the far-ultraviolet (1130−1770 Å rest frame) spectroscopy of 20 young (10 ^4 M _⊙ ) star clusters (YSCs) in 11 nearby star-forming galaxies. We probe the interstellar gas intervening along the line of sight, detecting several metal absorption ...

Distances from Stellar Kinematics for Peculiar Virgo Cluster Spiral Galaxies [PDF]

, 2008
We present distance estimates for eleven peculiar Virgo cluster spiral galaxies based on measurements of the stellar kinematics of their central 2 kpc. Stellar circular velocities were obtained using two-integral dynamical models. Distances were obtained by comparing, at each radius, the stellar circular velocities with synthetic H_alpha rotation ...
