Digital measurement of pupil size, corneal size, and eccentricity in Guinea pigs using python compared with traditional OCT by Hao Wu, Zhongbao Qiao, Chi Cheng, Wenting Luo, Ting Wan, Na Lu, Tong Qiao, Yue Di

“…In vivo and in vitro measurements showed that pupil size increased significantly after ex vivo (p < 0.001), whereas there was no significant difference in eccentricity (p = 0.38). Compared to optical coherence tomography (OCT), the method did not differ significantly in accuracy (p > 0.05), but significantly improved efficiency and reduced reliance on specialized equipment. …”

Parallelly Aligned, Activated Carbon Coated Plates Operating as Adsorption Columns for Removing VOCs by Jiyeol Bae, Suho Kim, Soyoung Baek

“…Parallelly aligned plates coated with AC minimized the decrease in pressure by inducing smooth fluid flow and maintained a high removal efficiency even at a high linear velocity. The order of the capacities for adsorption was: xylene > ethyl benzene > toluene > benzene, which was due to their differences in hydrophobicity and molecular weight. …”

A Brain Network Constructed on an L1-Norm Regression Model Is More Sensitive in Detecting Small World Network Changes in Early AD by Hao Liu, Haimeng Hu, Huiying Wang, Jiahui Han, Yunfei Li, Huihui Qi, Meimei Wang, Sisi Zhang, Huijin He, Xiaohu Zhao

“…We applied traditional Pearson correlation and the L1-norm to construct the brain networks and then tested the small-world attributes by calculating the following parameters: clustering coefficient (Cp), path length (Lp), global efficiency (Eg), and local efficiency (Eloc). As expected, L1 could detect slight changes, mainly in MCI patients expressing higher Cp and Eloc; however, no statistical differences were found between MCI patients and HCs in terms of Cp, Lp, Eg, and Eloc, using Pearson correlation. …”
