Defibrillation depends on conductivity fluctuations and the degree of disorganization in reentry patterns by Plank, G, Leon, J, Kimber, S, Vigmond, EJ

“…<p><strong>Introduction: </p></strong>Cardiac fibrillation is the deterioration of the heart's normally well-organized activity into one or more meandering spiral waves, which subsequently break up into many meandering wave fronts. Delivery of an electric shock (defibrillation) is the only effective way of restoring the normal rhythm. …”

'(Un)richtige Aufnahme': Renaissance sculpture and the visual historiography of art history by Johnson, GA

“…asked Heinrich Wölfflin in the titles of three ground-breaking articles on the subject published in 1896–97 and 1915 (plate 1).1 Few art historians have seriously considered the question, not just in regard to photographing Italian Renaissance sculpture, which was Wölfflin's main concern in these publications, but works of art in general.2 Examining both how and why art works have been photographed and otherwise reproduced, however, can tell us a great deal about what one might call the ‘visual historiography’ of art history as a discipline. …”

Bifunctional diazirine reagent for covalent dyeing of Kevlar and inert polymer materials by Liu, Richard Y., Luo, Shao-Xiong Lennon, Hirst, Elizabeth S., Doona, Christopher J., Swager, Timothy M.

“…The resulting coloration was found to be robust and colorfast with respect to water, organic solvent, and simulated laundering with detergent, and the strength of the fibers or fabrics was retained through the dyeing process, as shown through TGA and mechanical break testing. Overall, this carbene-based method provides a general, mild strategy for the covalent attachment of small molecules to textiles made from inert polymers, particularly para-aramids and UHMWPE, as well as nylon and fiber blends of these materials, and has potential use in next-generation protective outerwear.…”

Escalated deep-subwavelength acoustic imaging with field enhancement inside a metalens by Chen, Jian, Sun, Zeqing, Rao, Jing, Lisevych, Danylo, Fan, Zheng

“…However, the imaging mechanism under unity transmission based on Fabry-Perot resonances means the metalens fundamentally suffers from narrow bandwidth and limited deep-subwavelength contrast, and therefore further advancement of deepsubwavelength imaging has been stalled. Here we break the barriers for deep-subwavelength acoustic imaging comprehensively in spatial resolution, resolving contrast, and working bandwidth, by exploiting field enhancement inside the metalens. …”
