Transient prediction of nanoparticle-laden droplet drying patterns through dynamic mode decomposition by Tanis-Kanbur, Melike Begum, Kumtepeli, Volkan, Kanbur, Baris Burak, Ren, Junheng, Duan, Fei

“…The developed data-driven approach has also achieved the acceptable prediction for the droplet diameter with less than 0.13% error and a coffee-ring thickness over a range of 2.0 to 6.7 μm. Moreover, the proposed machine learning algorithm can recognize the volume of the droplet liquid and the transition of the drying regime from one to another according to the predicted contact line and the droplet height.…”

Deactivation of the parvalbumin-positive interneurons in the hippocampus after fear-like behaviour following electrical stimulation of the dorsolateral periaqueductal gray of rats by Temel, Yasin., Blokland, Arjan., Lim, Lee Wei.

“…However, a remarkable decrease of c-Fos and parvalbumin co-localization was shown in the hippocampal regions when compared to non-stimulated sham animals. In line with previous studies, our results support the hypothesis that GABAergic regulation resulted in enhanced behavioural reactivity to fear conditioning. …”
