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. …”

Investigating the Applicability of the Peak Density Thickness Parameter over the Equatorial Region by Shammat, Mohamed O., Reinisch, Bodo W., Galkin, Ivan, Erickson, Philip J., Weitzen, Jay A., Rideout, William C.

“…A comprehensive analysis of electron density profiles measured by the Jicamarca ISR, spanning 1997 to 2020, was conducted using the Madrigal database to extract the PDT parameter for the F2 layer. Findings from the Jicamarca ISR indicate that the PDT parameter peaks around solar noon, aligning with observations from Millstone Hill. …”

The career paths less (or more) traveled : a sequence analysis of IT career histories, mobility patterns, and career success by Slaughter, Sandra A., Joseph, Damien, Boh, Wai Fong, Ang, Soon

“…Of the 500 individuals in the IT workforce, 173 individuals pursued IT careers while the remaining 327 individuals left IT for other high-status non-IT professional jobs in PLM or lower-status, non-IT jobs in SLM careers. Findings from this study contribute to refining the concept of "boundaryless" careers. …”

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. …”

Cryogelation of human hair keratins by Chua, Huei Min, Zhao, Zhitong, Ng, Kee Woei

“…Finally, uniaxial compression tests on HHK sponges demonstrate that FT cycling, from 0 to 10, is able to improve the compression modulus of sponges by ≈12-folds. These findings show that macroscale properties of HHK cryogels can be conveniently modulated by physical parameters of cryogelation and that disulfide bonding is the main stabilizing force in HHK cryogels.…”

Optical gain in ultrathin self-assembled bi-layers of colloidal quantum wells enabled by the mode confinement in their high-index dielectric waveguides by Foroutan-Barenji, Sina, Erdem, Onur, Gheshlaghi, Negar, Altintas, Yemliha, Demir, Hilmi Volkan

“…The excitation and propagation of amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) along these active waveguides are experimentally demonstrated and numerically analyzed. The findings of this work offer possibilities for the realization of ultra-thin electrically driven colloidal laser devices, providing critical advantages including single-mode lasing and high electrical conduction.…”

Increasing antibiotic activity by rapid bioorthogonal conjugation of drug to resistant bacteria using an upconverted light-activated photocatalyst by Du, Quanchao, Wu, Xiangyang, Bi, Wuguo, Xing, Bengang, Yeow, Edwin Kok Lee

“…We demonstrate that the mode of action is due to increased inhibition of peptidoglycan cell wall biosynthesis. The findings in this study demonstrate that on-demand NIR-light activated bioorthogonal conjugation of Van to microbes is a viable alternative treatment in combating drug-resistant bacteria.…”

Self-organized canals enable long-range directed material transport in bacterial communities by Li, Ye, Liu, Shiqi, Zhang, Yingdan, Seng, Zi Jing, Xu, Haoran, Yang, Liang, Wu, Yilin

“…The spatial-temporal dynamics of fluid flows in the open channels are qualitatively described by flow profile measurement and mathematical modeling. Our findings demonstrate that mechanochemical coupling between interfacial force and biosurfactant kinetics can coordinate large-scale material transport in primitive life forms, suggesting a new principle to engineer self-organized microbial communities.…”
