Dual-Wideband High-Gain Fabry-Perot Cavity Antenna by Yan-He Lv, Xiao Ding, Bing-Zhong Wang

“…To satisfy the resonance condition of the dual-wideband Fabry-Perot cavity, we constructed the unit cell of the partial reflection metasurface by loading magnetic coupling enhancement layers and etching the bottom patches. The partial reflection metasurface composed of the above unit cells can generate reflection phases of positive gradient with almost the same slope over two wide bands, where the partial reflection amplitude is close to 1. …”

ScienceArt Commune 1: Whirling with Waters by Joseph Tin Yum Wong

“…The dinoflagellate swarmer cells have two flagella which perform a whirling movement (Greek = dino) (figures 1-4), enabling them to conduct vertical migration between different water bodies to access better nutrient patches. Many species are counter-intuitively sensitive to turbulence, and tend to aggregate in stagnant water, or as in the case of symbiotic dinoflagellates habituated inside their coral hosts. …”

The role of the matrix-edge dynamics of amphibian conservation in tropical montane fragmented landscapes by Georgina Santos-Barrera, Nicolás Urbina-Cardona

“…The diversity and abundance of amphibians in the forest mostly depended on the matrix context adjacent to the forest patches. The forest interior provided higher relative humidity, leaf litter cover, and canopy cover that determined the presence of some amphibian species. …”

Keypoint-based modeling reveals fine-grained body pose tuning in superior temporal sulcus neurons by Rajani Raman, Anna Bognár, Ghazaleh Ghamkhari Nejad, Albert Mukovskiy, Lucas Martini, Martin Giese, Rufin Vogels

“…Leveraging deep learning algorithms that extract body poses from videos of behaving monkeys, applied to a monkey avatar, we investigated neural tuning for pose and viewpoint, targeting fMRI-defined mid and anterior Superior Temporal Sulcus (STS) body patches. We modeled the pose and viewpoint selectivity of the units with keypoint-based principal component regression with cross-validation and applied model inversion as a key approach to identify effective body parts and views. …”
