Birch bark vessel from the Razdumie area by Golovchenko N.N., Pilipenko S.A.

“…Having considered a wide range of similarities to the item, the authors came to the conclusion that, despite a wide territorial and chronological coverage, vessels of this type are primarily united by the prevalence of the raw materials used for their manufacture and the simplicity of technological performance (layer method). At the same time, the authors specifically note the variety of methods of sewing birch bark vessels identified in the burial complexes of different periods in the south of Western Siberia. …”

Transmit Power Optimization for Simultaneous Wireless Information and Power Transfer-Assisted IoT Networks with Integrated Sensing and Communication and Nonlinear Energy Harvesting... by Chengrui Zhou, Xinru Wang, Yanfei Dou, Xiaomin Chen

“…This paper aims to tackle this issue by formulating an optimization problem to minimize the transmit power of the base station (BS) under a nonlinear EH model, considering the coexistence of power-splitting users (PSUs) and time-switching users (TSUs), as well as the beamforming vector associated with PSUs and TSUs. A two-layer algorithm based on semi-definite relaxation is proposed to tackle the complexity issue of the non-convex optimization problem. …”

Altered dendritic morphology of MEC II pyramidal and stellate cells in Rett syndrome mice by Manigandan Krishnan, Ayishal B. Mydeen, Mohammed M. Nakhal, Marwa F. Ibrahim, Richard L. Jayaraj, Milos R. Ljubisavljevic, Mohammad I. K. Hamad, Fatima Y. Ismail, Fatima Y. Ismail

“…IntroductionMutations in the methyl-CpG-binding protein-2 gene (MECP2), which cause Rett syndrome (RTT), disrupt neuronal activity; however, the impact of the MECP2 loss-of-function on the cytoarchitecture of medial entorhinal cortex layer II (MECII) neurons—crucial for spatial memory and learning—remains poorly understood.MethodsIn this study, we utilized Golgi staining and neuron tracing in the Mecp2+/− mouse model of RTT to investigate the pyramidal and stellate cell alterations in MECII.Results and discussionOur findings revealed that pyramidal cells displayed a significant reduction in apical dendritic length, soma size, and spine density, while basal dendrites showed increased dendritic complexity and branching. …”
