On a 4-Point Sixteenth-Order King Family of Iterative Methods for Solving Nonlinear Equations by Diyashvir Kreetee Rajiv Babajee, Rajinder Thukral

“…The convergence of the family is proved, and numerical experiments are carried out to find the best member of the family. In most experiments, the best member was found to be a sixteenth-order Ostrowski-type method.…”

Automated 1D Helmholtz coil design for cell biology: Weak magnetic fields alter cytoskeleton dynamics. by Abasalt Bahrami, Leonardo Y Tanaka, Ricardo C Massucatto, Francisco R M Laurindo, Clarice D Aiello

“…However, research progress on such effects has been hampered by a lack of systematics in most experiments. Efforts to increase the systematics in such cell biology experiments must include the capability of producing fields that can be automatically adjusted and that are stable throughout an experiment's duration, usually operating inside an incubator. …”

Development of a size-separation technique to isolate Caenorhabditis elegans embryos using mesh filters. by Nikita S Jhaveri, Maya K Mastronardo, J B Collins, Erik C Andersen

“…The free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has been routinely used to study gene functions, genetic interactions, and conserved signaling pathways. Most experiments require that the animals are synchronized to be at the same specific developmental stage. …”

From complex histories to cohesive data, a long-term agricultural dataset from the Morrow Plots by Sandi L. Caldrone, Andrew J. Margenot, Morrow Plots Data Curation Working Group

“…However, these impacts often only manifest at decadal timescales, requiring committed and consistent data collection that exceeds the timelines for most experiments. The second oldest agricultural experiment in the world, the Morrow Plots at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (USA) has examined the impact of crop rotation and fertility treatments on maize (Zea mays L.) yields since 1876. …”

Sensitivity of WRF-Simulated 2 m Temperature and Precipitation to Physics Options over the Loess Plateau by Siliang Liu

“…WRF simulations capture the annual cycle of monthly 2 m temperature and precipitation with a warm bias and wet bias for most experiments in summer. Some reasonable configurations are identified. …”

Targeted dimensionality reduction enables reliable estimation of neural population coding accuracy from trial-limited data. by Charles R Heller, Stephen V David

“…In practice, this requires large amounts of data, both across observations and across neurons. Unfortunately, most experiments are fundamentally constrained by practical variables that limit the number of times the neural population can be observed under a single stimulus and/or behavior condition. …”

Forecasting high-impact research topics via machine learning on evolving knowledge graphs by Xuemei Gu, Mario Krenn

“…Using machine learning, we can predict the dynamic of the evolving network into the future with high accuracy (AUC values beyond 0.9 for most experiments), and thereby the impact of new research directions. …”

Nuclear spin polarization in silicon carbide at room temperature in the Earth’s magnetic field by Andrey N. Anisimov, Alexander V. Poshakinskiy, Georgy V. Astakhov

“…Abstract Coupled electron-nuclear spins represent a promising quantum system, where the optically induced electron spin polarization can be dynamically transferred to nuclear spins via the hyperfine interaction. Most experiments on dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) are performed at cryogenic temperatures and/or in moderate external magnetic fields, the latter approach being very sensitive to the magnetic field orientation. …”

Antibacterial properties of a modified magnesium alloy in vitro with clinical strains of non-fermentative gram-negative microorganisms by V. M. Chornyi

“…The number of colonies growing on agar after the second culturing (the extract incubation for 48 hours) significantly decreased in the process of thermostating, and after the third culturing (the extract incubation for 72 hours) the microorganism growth was absent on a dense medium in most experiments. High bactericidal activity of the magnesium alloy was found in the experiments with the extract containing 106, 105, 104 CFU/ml. …”

Sulfur microenvironments as hotspots for biogenic pyrite formation by Fatih Sekerci, Stefan Fischer, Prachi Joshi, Stefan Peiffer, Andreas Kappler, Muammar Mansor

“…Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) are mostly considered for biogenic pyrite formation due to their significant contribution to sulfide production at ambient temperatures. However, most experiments using SRB for biogenic pyrite formation resulted in the formation of only metastable iron sulfide minerals such as mackinawite (FeS). …”

Predictable Overcompensation in Post-Thinning Stand Dynamics of Canadian Forests: A Synthesis by Chao Li, Bernard Roitberg, Shongming Huang, Robert Lalonde

“…Most experiments on thinning effects are based upon short-term outcomes, which has led to a common conclusion that stand gross volume will be reduced after various thinning operations. …”

Serial Gene Expression Profiling of Neural Stem Cells Shows Transcriptome Switch by Long-Term Physioxia from Metabolic Adaption to Cell Signaling Profile by Lena Braunschweig, Jennifer Lanto, Anne K. Meyer, Franz Markert, Alexander Storch

“…Oxygen is an essential factor in the cellular microenvironment with pivotal effects on neural development with a particular sensitivity of midbrain neural stem cells (NSCs) to high atmospheric oxygen tension. However, most experiments are still performed at atmospheric O2 levels (21%, normoxia), whereas mammalian brain tissue is physiologically exposed to substantially lower O2 tensions around 3% (physioxia). …”

Vocal membranes lower the phonation threshold pressure in rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) by Mayuka Kanaya, Rintaro Miyazaki, Tomoki Yoshitani, Takeshi Nishimura, Isao T. Tokuda

“…Comparisons before and after surgical removal of the vocal membranes showed that the phonation threshold pressure was indeed lower—and vocal efficiency higher—when the vocal membranes were present. Most experiments exhibited periodic oscillations of the vocal folds and/or membranes, while some showed irregular broadband oscillations potentially indicative of chaos. …”

Arabidopsis root apical meristem adaptation to an osmotic gradient condition: an integrated approach from cell expansion to gene expression by Selene Píriz-Pezzutto, Mauro Martínez-Moré, María Martha Sainz, Omar Borsani, Mariana Sotelo-Silveira

“…Water availability can limit plant growth, and the root tip tissues initially sense it. Most experiments destined to understand root growth adaptation to osmotic stress apply homogeneous high osmotic potentials (osmotic shock) to shoots and roots. …”

A transportable laser-plasma accelerator in the MeV range by Erwan Morel, Olena Kononenko, Jonathan Wheeler, Achraf Ayeb, Pascal Rousseau, Magali Lozano, Amar Tafzi, Lorenzo Martelli, Yves-Bernard André, Sara Rushe Palacios, Xuan Quyen Dinh, Jean-Philippe Denis, Henri Kraft, Philippe Demengeot, Aurélien Houard, Cedric Thaury

“…Although the acceleration length is short (a few millimeters), they typically require large-scale infrastructures including ultra-high-power lasers, vacuum chambers and strict stability for temperature and humidity. As a result, most experiments are conducted in laboratories in large areas with controlled environments. …”

Effects of Feeding Genetically Modified Crops to Domestic Animals: A Review by Muhammad Zeeshan Akram, Sema Yaman, Hassan Jalal, Sibel Canoğulları Doğan, Sana Shahid, Basit Shaukat Ali

“…The most of peer-reviewed papers evaluating the effects of feeding animals with transgenic crops were based on GM plants with improved agronomic traits i.e. herbicide-tolerant plants and pets-tolerant plants; however, in some cases GM plants with boosted nutritional properties assessed. In most experiments, either Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis) maize, Roundup Ready (RR) soybean or both fed to animals. …”
