A Multi-Frequency Tomographic Inverse Scattering Using Beam Basis Functions

We present an overview of a beam-based approach to ultra-wide band (UWB) tomographic inverse scattering, where beam-waves are used for local data-processing and local imaging, as an alternative to the conventional plane-wave and Green’s fun...

THE OVERVIEW OF THE PLANETARY ATMOSPHERIC SPECTRAL TELESCOPE (PAST) IN THE SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENTAL SYSTEM IN NEAR-SPACE (SENSE)

To investigate mass transport and energy dissipation in space environments for solar system planet, a balloon-borne planetary atmospheric spectral telescope (PAST) is designed with 0.8-m aperture in spectral range from 280 nm to 680&...

Environmental and Engineering Geophysics

Geophysical imaging methods provide solutions to a wide range of environmental and engineering problems: protection of soil and groundwater from contamination; disposal of chemical and nuclear waste; geotechnical site testing; landslide and...

Completing the picture of field-grown cereal crops: a new method for detailed leaf surface models in wheat

Abstract Background The leaf angle distribution (LAD) is an important structural parameter of agricultural crops that influences light interception, radiation fluxes and consequently plant performance. Therefore, LAD and its parametrized fo...

A practical introduction to skeletons for the plant sciences

Before the availability of digital photography resulting from the invention of charged couple devices in 1969, the measurement of plant architecture was a manual process either on the plant itself or on traditional photographs. The introduc...

The RootChip: An Integrated Microfluidic Chip for Plant Science

Studying development and physiology of growing roots is challenging due to limitations regarding cellular and subcellular analysis under controlled environmental conditions. We describe a microfluidic chip platform, called RootChip, that in...

The Effectiveness of Simultaneous Training of Various Executive Functions (Hot and Cool; Focused on Simultaneous Parent-Child Training) on Improving the Empathy of Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

The present study aimed to effectiveness of simultaneous training of various executive functions (hot and cool; focused on simultaneous parent-child training) on improving the empathy of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorde...

A long-term daily 500 m snow cover extent product over China (1981–2000)

Due to the limitations of early satellite sensors in terms of spatial resolution, temporal resolution, and time series availability, there is currently a lack of long-term daily snow cover extent (SCE) products with 500 m spatial resolution...

Evaluating Adenomyosis with Transvaginal Sonography: Diagnostic Precision and Clinical Relevance

Background: Adenomyosis is an important benign gynecological condition among females with variable signs and symptoms. Prompt detection of suspicious cases is important for the effective management of the disease. The objective of the curre...

Inferior pole arterial hemorrhage during coblation intracapsular tonsillectomy requiring endovascular embolization in two pediatric cases

Background: Although severe primary arterial hemorrhage during intracapsular tonsillectomy is rare, these cases illustrate that it may still occur. The role of endovascular embolization in this setting has been only sparsely described. Case...

Evaluating the influence of anatomical accuracy and electrode positions on EEG forward solutions

Generating realistic volume conductor models for forward calculations in electroencephalography (EEG) is not trivial and several factors contribute to the accuracy of such models, two of which are its anatomical accuracy and the accuracy wi...

Vertex-wise multivariate genome-wide association study identifies 780 unique genetic loci associated with cortical morphology

Brain morphology has been shown to be highly heritable, yet only a small portion of the heritability is explained by the genetic variants discovered so far. Here we extended the Multivariate Omnibus Statistical Test (MOSTest) and applied it...

Brain plasticity in response to artistic and non-artistic training aimed at promoting creativity: How can we enhance creativity and capture the process in neuroscience?

Creativity has been consensually defined as an ability to produce novel and original ideas/works, a definition shared both by the general public and among scholars. Since creativity is one of the most important and unique cognitive construc...

Sex-Related Differences in Regional Homogeneity and Intolerance of Uncertainty in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: A Resting-State fMRI Study

Editorial: Task-Related Brain Systems Revealed by Human Imaging Experiments

Neural circuitry governing anxious individuals’ mis-allocation of working memory to threat

Abstract Dispositional anxiety is a trait-like phenotype that confers increased risk for a range of debilitating neuropsychiatric disorders. Like many patients with anxiety disorders, individuals with elevated levels of dispositional anxiet...

Thematic structure of clinically oriented prefrontal function assessment and intervention research: a keyword network analysis

Abstract Background The prefrontal cortex (PFC) has been extensively investigated in relation to higher-order cognition, emotional regulation, and behavioural control, particularly within clinically oriented studies addressing psychiatric s...

Brain‐Penetrating and Disease Site‐Targeting Manganese Dioxide‐Polymer‐Lipid Hybrid Nanoparticles Remodel Microenvironment of Alzheimer's Disease by Regulating Multiple Pathological Pathways

Abstract Finding effective disease‐modifying treatment for Alzheimer's disease remains challenging due to an array of factors contributing to the loss of neural function. The current study demonstrates a new strategy, using multitargeted bi...

Functional MRI of Handwriting Tasks: A Study of Healthy Young Adults Interacting with a Novel Touch-Sensitive Tablet

Handwriting is a complex human activity that engages a blend of cognitive and visual motor skills. Current understanding of the neural correlates of handwriting has largely come from lesion studies of patients with impaired handwriting. Tas...

Advances in Imaging and Physiology-Guided Personalized Care in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a heterogeneous inflammatory lung injury marked by increased alveolar–capillary permeability, reduced respiratory system compliance, and impaired gas exchange. Despite advances in supportive car...
