Integrated psychoacoustic active noise control and masking by Belyi, Valiantsin, Gan, Woon-Seng

“…Moreover, noise cancellation performance decreases at the higher frequency due to the decreasing control zone. In headphones based application, perceptual quality of noise attenuation and target audio signal are important factors, and ANC algorithm must be designed to account for the psychoacoustic parameters. …”

Contribution of Mach number to the evolution of the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability induced by a shock-accelerated square light bubble by Singh, Satyvir

“…In contrast to low Mach numbers, high Mach numbers produce the larger rolled-up vortex chains, larger inward jet formation, and a stronger mixing zone with greater expansion. The effects of Mach numbers are explored in detail through phenomena such as the vorticity generation, and evolutions of enstrophy as well as dissipation rate. …”

Alteration of hippocampal CA2 plasticity and social memory in adult rats impacted by juvenile stress by Raghuraman, Radha, Navakkode, Sheeja, Sajikumar, Sreedharan

“…Unlike entorhinal cortical inputs, the Schaffer collateral inputs to CA2 do not support activity-dependent long-term potentiation (LTP), which serves as the basis for long-term memories. This LTP-resistant zone also expresses genes that restrict plasticity. …”

Modulating the coordination environment of Co single-atom catalysts: impact on lithium-sulfur battery performance by Li, Yi, Chen, Zhaoyang, Zhong, Xin-Yu, Mei, Tiehan, Li, Zhao, Yue, Liang, Yang, Jin-Lin, Fan, Hong Jin, Xu, Maowen

“…This configuration enhances the electron transfer with Li2S6, where the electrons tend to aggregate between P and Li atoms as two separate parts rather than a single merged zone as observed in symmetric Co-N4 SACs. This process facilitates polysulfide decomposition and promotes Li2S nucleation/oxidation. …”
