Modeling spatial mapping, memory and their underlying mechanisms in the hippocampal complex by Sharma, Sugandha

“…As individuals move through an environment, they encode and store information about the spatial layout, which they can later recall to navigate or perform tasks. Further, spatial memory involves similar brain regions as those implicated in sequential episodic memories. …”

Hermitian self-dual abelian codes by Jitman, Somphong, Ling, San, Solé, Patrick

“…Using the well-known discrete Fourier transform decomposition for a semi-simple group ring, a characterization of Hermitian self-dual abelian codes in Fq2 [G] is given, together with an alternative proof of necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of such a code in Fq2 [G], i.e., there exists a Hermitian self-dual abelian code in Fq2 [G] if and only if the order of G is even and q = 2l for some positive integer l. Later on, the study is further restricted to the case where F22l [G] is a principal ideal group ring, or equivalently, G = A Z2k with 2 - jAj. …”

Migration and phenotype control of human dermal fibroblasts by electrospun fibrous substrates by Chen, Huizhi, Lui, Yuan Siang, Tan, Zhen Wei, Lee, Justin Yin Hao, Tan, Nguan Soon, Tan, Lay Poh

“…During wound healing, the presence of myofibroblasts advances wound repair by rendering contractile force and ECM deposition within the early and middle courses, but its continuous persistence in the later event may not be desired due to the contribution in pathological scarring. …”

Hyperspectral vision beyond 3D: a review by Antony, Maria Merin, Sandeep, C. S. Suchand, Matham, Murukeshan Vadakke

“…Attributes extracted from HSI can be well represented and visualised in 3-dimensional (3D) space using virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). Later advancements led to the development of 4D HSI cameras that can track the spatial and spectral characteristics of objects over time and became a hot topic in precision agriculture, medical imaging, and optical sorting. …”

Field relations, petrogenesis and emplacement of the Bhagirathi leucogranite, Garhwal Himalaya by Searle, M, Metcalfe, RP, Rex, AJ, Norry, MJ

“…This reflects localized reorientation of early, coaxially constrained, mineral growth by later, non-coaxial deformation. Various shear criteria in the gneisses immediately below the granite document the existence of a major zone of ductile NNE-SSW-directed extension across a northeastward dipping, low-angle normal fault zone. …”
