Effects of search intent on eye-movement patterns in a change detection task by Sangil Lee, Minho Lee, Hyeonggyu Park, Mun-Seon Chang, Ho-Wan Kwak

“…This allowed us to control for the visual searching process during the pre-change scene. The main results were as follows: firstly, the primary task successfully controlled for the visual search process during the pre-change scene, establishing that there were no differences in the patterns of eye movements across all three conditions despite differing intents. …”

Detection of anomalous spatio-temporal patterns of app traffic in response to catastrophic events by Sofia Medina, Shazia’Ayn Babul, Timothy LaRock, Rohit Sahasrabuddhe, Renaud Lambiotte, Nicola Pedreschi

“…Further, we present a null model of radial information spread and develop methods of tracking radial patterns over time. Overall, we illustrate novel analytical methods we devise, showing how they enable a new perspective on mobile phone user response to unplanned catastrophic events and giving insight into how information spreads during a catastrophe in both time and space.…”

Effects of dense-planting pattern of apple on soil moisture in Weibei dry plateau by BAI Gangshuan, ZOU Chaoyu, DU Sheni

“…The soil evapotranspiration of the dwarfing stock dense-planting, semi-dwarfing stock dense-planting and vigorous stock dense-planting orchards were 4.51, 46.37 and 92.70 mm higher than that of the precipitation in the same period during the monitoring period (from March to November in 2016), respectively; as such, they were －18.06, 22.35 and 65.34 mm higher during the growth period of apple trees (from April to October in 2016), respectively, which indicated that the vigorous stock dense-planting pattern increased the soil desiccation. …”

Patterns of lipofuscin accumulation in ganglionic nerve cells of superior cervical ganglion in humans by Živković Vladimir, Stefanović Natalija, Đurović-Filipović Tatjana, Pavlović Snežana, Stojanović Vesna, Bakić Mirjana, Kundalić Braca, Pavlović Miljana

“…Immersion microscopy was used to analyse patterns of lipofuscin accumulation during ageing making possible to distinguish diffuse type (lipofuscin granules were irregularly distributed and non-confluent), unipolar type (lipofuscin granules were grouped at the end of the cell), bipolar type (lipofuscin granules were concentrated at the two opposite ends of a cell with the nucleus in between at the center of a cell), annular type (lipofuscin granules were in the shape of a complete or incomplete ring around the nucleus) and a cell completely filled with lipofuscin (two subtypes distinguishing, one with visible a nucleus, and the other with invisible one). …”
