Weber’s Law of perception is a consequence of resolving the intensity of natural scintillating light and sound with the least possible error by Pednekar, Shourav, Krishnadas, Arun, Cho, Byunggu, Makris, Nicholas C.

“…Here, Weber’s Law is found to be a consequence of attaining the theoretical minimum mean-square error possible, the Cramer–Rao lower bound, in resolving the intensity of naturally scintillating light and sound. The finding is based on statistics from thousands of measurements of naturally scintillating environmental light and sound signals. …”

An acoustic remote sensing method for high-precision propeller rotation and speed estimation of unmanned underwater vehicles by Railey, Kristen, DiBiaso, Dino, Schmidt, Henrik

“…In negligible currents, and when the UUV turn-per-knot ratio was known, measuring motor noise produced speed predictions within the error range of the vehicle's inertial navigation system's reported speed. These findings are applicable to other vehicles that rely on brushless DC motors and can be easily integrated into passive acoustic systems for target motion analysis.…”

Small-area population forecasting in a segregated city using density-functional fluctuation theory by Chen, Yuchao, Kinkhabwala, Yunus A., Barron, Boris, Hall, Matthew, Arias, Tomás A., Cohen, Itai

“…To demonstrate the efficacy of our approach in a controlled setting, we consider a simulated city constructed from a Schelling-type model. Our findings indicate that even without direct access to the underlying agent preferences, DFFT accurately predicts how broader demographic changes at the city scale percolate to small-area populations. …”

Glycans function as a Golgi export signal to promote the constitutive exocytic trafficking by Sun, Xiuping, Tie, Hieng Chiong, Chen, Bing, Lu, Lei

“…By sequentially introducing O-glycosylation sites to ST6GAL1, we demonstrated that O-glycan’s effect on Golgi export is probably additive. Finally, the finding that N-glycosylated GFP substantially reduces the Golgi residence time of a Tac chimera suggests that N-glycans might have a similar effect. …”
