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. …”

Investigating the EM performance of building materials for mid-band 5G in urban built environment: an exploratory study by Ng, Sean Jake Peng

“…This comprehensive study encompasses various factors, including the choice of aggregate types (FAC and fine sand), different levels of Fe2O3 inclusions (2 wt% and 4 wt%), and channel frequencies within the 3300 to 3800 MHz frequency band (divided into five 100 MHz channels). …”

Numerical modeling of motion and deformation of cells in microscale hydrodynamic and electric fields by Ye, Ting

“…For 3D problems however, the MPBLS method becomes tedious as usual, since the Lagrangian particles in 3D domain are not easily used to describe the information of surface-like interface. • The modified SIMPLER algorithm introduces an improved velocity correction to speed up the convergence of momentum equations, and further integrates a fine adjustment to satisfy the continuity equation with higher accuracy. …”

Coherent superposition of current flows in an atomtronic quantum interference device by Aghamalyan, Davit, Cominotti, Marco, Rizzi, Matteo, Rossini, Davide, Hekking, Frank, Minguzzi, Anna, Kwek, Leong-Chuan, Amico, Luigi

“…We consider a correlated Bose gas tightly confined into a ring shaped lattice, in the presence of an artificial gauge potential inducing a persistent current through it. A weak link painted on the ring acts as a source of coherent back-scattering for the propagating gas, interfering with the forward scattered current. …”
