Transmitted Light Measurement to Determine the Local Structural Characteristics of Paperboard: Grammage, Thickness, and Fiber Orientation by Cedric W. Sanjon, Yuchen Leng, Marek Hauptmann, Peter Groche, Jens-Peter Majschak

“…The results show that thickness and grammage measurements are independent of which side of the paper is evaluated, while the fiber orientation distribution varies between the front and back sides, reflecting differences in fiber arrangement due to manufacturing processes. Various distribution functions are compared, and the Pearson Type 3, log-normal, and gamma distributions are found to most accurately describe the grammage, thickness, and fiber orientation distributions. …”

SDSS-IV MaNGA: Spatial Evolution of Gas-phase Metallicity Changes Induced by Galaxy Interactions by Hsi-An Pan, Lihwai Lin, Sebastián F. Sánchez, Jorge K. Barrera-Ballesteros, Bau-Ching Hsieh

“…Gas-phase metallicity in interacting and merging galaxies offers key insights into their star formation processes and evolutionary histories. This study investigates the spatial evolution of gas-phase metallicity (i.e., oxygen abundance, 12 + log(O/H)) in these galaxies using integral field unit data from the SDSS-IV MaNGA survey, focusing on changes in metallicity gradients across different stages of interactions—from early encounters to final coalescence. …”

Molecular signatures diversity unveiled through a comparative transcriptome analysis of longissimus dorsi and psoas major muscles in Hanwoo cattle by Sunirmal Sheet, Sun Sik Jang, Jin-A. Lim, Woncheoul Park, Dahye Kim

“…Our results unveiled a total of 374 and 206 up-regulated differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in LD and PM muscles, respectively, with statistical significance (p < 0.05) and a log2fold change ≥ 1. Genes governing muscle development processes, such as PAX3, MYL3, COL11A1, and MYL6B, were found to be expressed at higher levels in both tissues. …”
