What the visual system can learn from the non-dominant hand: The effect of graphomotor engagement on visual discrimination by Ben-Ami, Shlomit, Buaron, Batel, Yaron, Ori, Keane, Kyle, Sun, Virginia H., Phillips, Flip, Friedman, Jason, Sinha, Pawan, Mukamel, Roy

“…However, existing studies have emphasized the dominant hand, which is superiorly dexterous in fine-motor movements. This near-exclusive focus prompts the inquiry of whether the observed perceptual facilitation is a general characteristic of the motor system, or specific to pathways controlling the skilled over-trained dominant hand. …”

JWST sighting of decameter main-belt asteroids and view on meteorite sources by Burdanov, Artem Y., de Wit, Julien, Broz, Miroslav, Muller, Thomas G., Hoffmann, Tobias, Ferrais, Marin, Micheli, Marco, Jehin, Emmanuel, Parrott, Daniel, Hasler, Samantha N., Binzel, Richard P., Ducrot, Elsa, Kreidberg, Laura, Gillon, Michael, Greene, Thomas P., Grundy, Will M., Kareta, Theodore, Lagage, Pierre-Olivier, Moskovitz, Nicholas, Thirouin, Audrey, Thomas, Cristina A., Zieba, Sebastian

“…While large asteroids (≥100 km) have remained in the main belt since their formation, small asteroids are commonly transported to the near-Earth object (NEO) population. However, due to the lack of direct observational constraints, their size-frequency distribution —which informs our understanding of the NEOs and the delivery of meteorite samples to Earth—varies significantly among models. …”

An isolated bipolar DC-DC converter for energy storage integration in marine vessels by Nag, Soumya Shubhra, Satpathi, Kuntal, Ukil, Abhisek, Pou, Josep, Zagrodnik, Michael Adam

“…The integration of battery energy storage systems (BESSs) in the MVDC distribution system enables peak shaving of generators, optimal scheduling of generators, and near instantaneous power reserve. In this paper, an isolated bipolar dc-dc converter is presented which interfaces the BESS with the bipolar dc distribution bus. …”

Interpretation of an anomalous peak in low-temperature photoluminescence measurements of bulk GaAs[sub 1−x]N[sub x] on GaAs by Cheah, Weng Kwong, Fan, Weijun, Yoon, Soon Fatt, Loke, Wan Khai, Liu, R., Wee, A. T. S.

“…The peak is due to the accumulation of N content near the GaAs/GaAsN interface. Hence, this abnormal annealing behavior occurs in layers with nonuniform N concentration at the GaAsN/GaAs interface.…”
