Combining laser frequency combs and iodine cell calibration techniques for Doppler detection of exoplanets by Cahoy, K., Fischer, D., Spronck, J., Demille, D.

“…While hundreds of large exoplanets have already been discovered with the Doppler technique (also called radial velocity), our goal is to improve the measurement precision so that many Earth-like planets can be detected. The smaller mass and longer period of true Earth analogues require the ability to detect a reflex velocity of ~10 cm/s over long time periods. …”

Use of functional magnetic resonance imaging to identify cortical loci for lower limb movements and their efficacy for individuals after stroke by Choi, Minseok, Kim, Hyun-Chul, Youn, Inchan, Lee, Song Joo, Lee, Jong-Hwan

“…Background Identification of cortical loci for lower limb movements for stroke rehabilitation is crucial for better rehabilitation outcomes via noninvasive brain stimulation by targeting the fine-grained cortical loci of the movements. However, identification of the cortical loci for lower limb movements using functional MRI (fMRI) is challenging due to head motion and difficulty in isolating different types of movement. …”

Striatal and Behavioral Responses to Reward Vary by Socioeconomic Status in Adolescents by Decker, Alexandra L, Meisler, Steven L., Hubbard, Nicholas A., Bauer, Clemens C.C., Leonard, Julia, Grotzinger, Hannah, Giebler, Melissa A., Torres, Yesi Camacho, Imhof, Andrea, Romeo, Rachel, Gabrieli, John D. E.

“…However, lower SES correlated with smaller reward-driven striatal responses, and reduced response slowing after rare rewards. These findings link lower SES to reduced reward responses, which could trigger a cycle of reduced reward pursuit, leading to fewer positive experiences, which could further diminish reward sensitivity.…”

Shear-flow characteristics of rock fractures and implications for injection-induced seismicity by Ji, Yinlin

“…To explore the causal link between fluid pressure heterogeneity and fracture slip propagation, the PFC2D modeling is developed and demonstrates that non-uniformly pressurized fractures exhibit global and localized drops of shear stress during the aseismic and seismic slip, respectively, and the slip transition dominates the fluid injection period. …”
