The Connectivity of the Human Pulvinar: A Diffusion Tensor Imaging Tractography Study by Sandra E. Leh, M. Mallar Chakravarty, Alain Ptito

“…Although the contribution of the pulvinar to human vision remains to be established, anatomical tracer and electrophysiological animal studies on cortico-pulvinar circuits suggest an important role of this structure in visual spatial attention, visual integration, and higher-order visual processing. Because methodological constraints limit investigations of the human pulvinar's function, its role could, up to now, only be inferred from animal studies. …”

Scaling laws of political regime dynamics: stability of democracies and autocracies in the twentieth century by Paula Pirker-Diaz, Matthew C. Wilson, Soenke Beier, Karoline Wiesner

“…Despite their relevance, a comprehensive quantitative assessment of these dynamics on a historical scale remains largely unexplored, and the notion that democratization is an irreversible process has gone mostly unchallenged. This study provides a rigorous and quantitative analysis of political regimes worldwide by examining changes in freedoms of expression, association and electoral quality throughout the twentieth century. …”

Synergistic Regulation of Rare Earth Content on the Tribological and Corrosion Performance of Chromium Infiltration Layers in 316H Heat-Resistant Steel by Liu　Ji, Gao　Siqi, Zhang　Yang, Pang　Xuming, He　Xiaodong, Zhang　Liqin, Sun　Wei

“…The results indicated that rare earth （Y2O3） doping significantly regulated the formation process of the infiltration layer. When the w［Y2O3］ was 4%， the thickness of the infiltration layer reached a maximum value of 143.78 μm， which was 10.2% higher than that of the undoped group. …”

Enhancing the diffusion of lithium ions to propel sulfur redox for lithium-sulfur batteries by Tingting Hu, Yunyi Chen, Haijian Liu, Lingli Liu, Chunai Dai, Yongsheng Han

“…Among them, it is found that compared with carbon nanofibers and large-diameter carbon nanotubes, small-diameter carbon nanotubes (SD-CNT) have uniform hollow tubular morphology, abundant micropores, mesopores, and specific surface area, which is not only conducive to containing more active substances but also help the lithium ions diffusion inside the electrode material. Better electrochemical performance is obtained by constructing an interface environment that matches the ionic reaction and diffusion processes. …”

The Impact of Clay and Fluid Conductivity on the Electrical‐Diffusion Tortuosity Correlations in Sandstone Reservoirs by Mahmoud Elsayed, Ammar El‐Husseiny, Hyung Kwak, Abdulrauf R. Adebayo, Mohamed Mahmoud

“…Abstract Tortuosity has different definitions that are used by scientists and engineers to describe various fluid‐related processes in porous media. Two of the most commonly used definitions are electrical (describing the electrical current flow process) and diffusion (related to the molecular diffusive flow process) tortuosity. …”
