Follicle architecture and innervation of functionally distinct rat vibrissae by Ben Gerhardt, Tobias Rodde, Jette Alfken, Jakob Reichmann, Tim Salditt, Michael Brecht

“…Establishing how afferent types and accessory structures operate together to derive specific kinds of sensory information has been challenging, because we often lack precise information on afferent types, accessory structures and vibrissa function. Here we address this challenge by synchrotron X-ray imaging of vibrissa follicles of rat vibrissae with distinct function. …”

Analytic Investigation of the Imprints of Dark Energy and Charge on the Kerr–Newmann–De Sitter Black-Hole Photon Ring by James Mugambi, Eunice Omwoyo, Dismas Wamalwa

“…We present analytical solutions to the null geodesic equations for Kerr–Newman–de Sitter black holes derived using Jacobi elliptic functions. Using these solutions, we have performed an analytic ray-tracing simulation to model direct images, lensing rings, and photon rings, considering standard observers and zero angular momentum observers (ZAMOs). …”

Beyond circular trigonometry: Parabolic functions from geometric identities by Laith H. M. Al-ossmi

“…Geometrically, sinp u and cosp u are defined via the relationship between a point on a parabola and its focus: sinp u represents the vertical displacement ratio, while cosp u corresponds to the horizontal displacement ratio, normalized by the focal distance. These functions generalize circular trigonometry to a parabolic framework, preserving key structural identities while exhibiting unique behaviors, such as fixed asymptotic values under angle variation. …”
