Sleep Alters the Velocity of Physiological Brain Pulsations in Humans

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Sleep alters I/CSF oscillatory flow, driven by increased respiratory (29%) and vasomotor pulsation (21%) velocities, while cardiovascular pulsations decreased by (22%). Velocity is quantified using optical flow analysis of MREG data. Spectral power increases alongside these pulsations (spatial correlation, r = 0.35 and r = 0.39, respectively ...

Learning through building: Approaches to craft training in thin-tile vaulting

Journal of Traditional Building, Architecture and Urbanism, 2020
Short-term training is becoming the dominant model of knowledge transfer in construction crafts. In the case of thin-tile vaulting, the historical master-apprentice training model is being partly replaced with experimental and project-specific training ...

Programmable Multifunctional Bistable Structures for Energy Transfer and Dissipation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Utilizing the energy conversion characteristics of asymmetric bistable beams, this study develops a programmable multifunctional system composed of multiple bistable beams for energy transfer and dissipation. The high energy density enables the system to demonstrate potential in transient scenarios such as target delivery and shock absorption ...

IAR‐Net: Tabular Deep Learning Model for Interventionalist's Action Recognition

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study presents IAR‐Net, a deep‐learning framework for catheterization action recognition. To ensure optimality, this study quantifies interoperator similarities and differences using statistical tests, evaluates the distribution fidelity of synthetic data produced by six generative models, and benchmarks multiple deep‐learning models.

The meaning, origin and use of masonry pendentives at the early Christian architecture [PDF]

Arhitektura i Urbanizam, 2020
The construction and function of the masonry pendentives, defined as a triangular section of a sphere, have been extensively examined. However, its genesis and the very conceptual definition continue to raise doubts.

A detailed redescription of a skeletally immature ‘Redondasaurus’ suggests ontogenetic transformations in the taxon mirror phytosaurian morphological evolution

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The study of morphological evolution is fundamentally tied to ontogeny, yet studies of these heterochronic processes in the fossil record are rare. Fossils belonging to an ontogenetic series are difficult to assign to an ontogenetic stage due to inconsistent proxies for skeletal ages, challenging to taxonomically assign due to morphological ...

Artificial intelligence and machine learning‐assisted digital applications for biopharmaceutical manufacturing

Biotechnology Progress, EarlyView.
Abstract Artificial intelligence and automation are no longer just buzzwords in the biopharmaceutical industry. The manufacturing of a class of biologics, comprising monoclonal antibodies, cell therapies, and gene therapies, is far more complex than that of traditional small molecule drugs.
