Is subsurface geophysics as seismic and acoustic investigations a rescue to groundwater flow inversion? by Delay, Frederick, Mari, Jean-Luc, Porel, Gilles, Chabaux, François, Ackerer, Philippe

“…Processing the 3-D data, in association with wave velocity calibration from vertical seismic profiles (VSP) recorded via geophones in wells, renders a 3-D velocity block. The velocity block is then converted into pseudo-porosity values revealing three high-porosity, presumably water-productive, layers, at depths of 35–40, 85–87, and 110–115 m.In addition, full wave acoustic logging (FWAL) can detect, close to wells, porous or open bodies that are too small for being captured by the spatial resolution of 3-D seismic images. …”

Favorable mid-term performance of fully biodegradable implantable device for ventricular septal defect closureCentral MessagePerspective by Shubo Song, MD, Zehua Shao, MD, Taibing Fan, Prof, Bin Li, MD, Weijie Liang, MD, Haoju Dong, MD, Kaiyuan Wu, MD, Manman Hu, MD, Yu Han, MD, Cunying Cui, MD

“…During patient follow-up (mean, 24.6 ± 0.8 months), no device dislocations, new residual shunts, new valvular regurgitation, or detectable atrioventricular block ensued. Conclusions: Closure of Pm-VSDs using a novel, fully biodegradable occluder in the manner described has proven safe and effective at mid-term follow-up. …”

Drosophila pheromone-sensing neurons expressing the ppk25 ion channel subunit stimulate male courtship and female receptivity. by Vinoy Vijayan, Rob Thistle, Tong Liu, Elena Starostina, Claudio W Pikielny

“…Recently, several ppk genes, encoding ion channel subunits of the DEG/ENaC family, have been implicated in this process, leading to the identification of gustatory neurons that detect specific pheromones. In a subset of taste hairs on the legs of Drosophila, there are two ppk23-expressing, pheromone-sensing neurons with complementary response profiles; one neuron detects female pheromones that stimulate male courtship, the other detects male pheromones that inhibit male-male courtship. …”
