Lawful kinematics link eye movements to the limits of high-speed perception by Martin Rolfs, Richard Schweitzer, Eric Castet, Tamara L. Watson, Sven Ohl

“…We uncover that visibility of the stimulus’ movement is well predicted by the specific kinematics of saccades and their sensorimotor contingencies, reflecting even variability between individual observers. Computational modeling shows that spatiotemporal integration during early visual processing predicts this lawful relation in a tight range of biologically plausible parameters. …”

15 yr of Interstellar Neutral Hydrogen Observed with the Interstellar Boundary Explorer by André Galli, Paweł Swaczyna, Maciej Bzowski, Marzena A. Kubiak, Izabela Kowalska-Leszczynska, Peter Wurz, Fatemeh Rahmanifard, Nathan A. Schwadron, Eberhard Möbius, Stephen A. Fuselier, Justyna M. Sokół, Jonathan Gasser, Jacob Heerikhuisen, David J. McComas

“…Hydrogen is the dominant neutral species in the LISM, but due to ionization and radiation pressure, only a fraction of the ISN H atoms reach the inner solar system close to Earth. Monitoring this signal therefore provides observational constraints on our assumptions of the LISM and the solar-activity-dependent loss processes inside the heliosphere. …”

Carbohydrate content controls vertical variations in carbon to nitrogen ratios of organic particles within the euphotic zone in the northwest Sargasso Sea by Lillian C. Henderson, Chance J. English, Dailen L. Jeng, Kimberly J. Popendorf, Craig A. Carlson, Hilary G. Close

“…Additionally, patterns in the composition of individual carbohydrate monomers suggest that the vertical variations originate from both primary production and degradative processes. These variations in particle composition over depth will affect the stoichiometry in models of primary production, microbial remineralization, and carbon export.…”

Comparison of pharmacokinetic parameters calculation techniques in studies with animal-point design by V. M. Kosman, M. V. Karlina, M. N. Makarоva, V. G. Makarov

“…For a number of previously conducted studies with male outbred rats test systems, a retrospective data analysis was performed and PK parameters were calculated in three different ways: from the average concentration values at each time point (method 1): from data obtained for animals with the same sequence numbers in subgroups corresponding to time points (method 2); using resempling based on modeling of individual PK profiles (method 3). Pharmacokinetic parameters (maximum concentration — Cmax, time to reach maximum concentration — Tmax, area under the curve "concentration-time" — AUC0-t, average time to stay in the body — MRT, half-life — T1/2) were calculated by non-compartment method of statistical moments using the validated PKSolver application for Microsoft Office Excel.Results. …”

Transformation of law in the context of digitalization: defining the correct priorities by E. L. Sidorenko, P. von Arx

“…Despite the fact that several strategies for the development of digital law are being worked out at the level of international organizations, neither in theory nor in practice is there a single understanding of the legal nature of digital technologies and the foundations of their legal regulation.From this perspective, the purpose of this article is to understand the system and the main categories of the digital economy through the prism of fundamental legal institutions, based both on the traditional principles of scientific analysis and on the results steaming from applied data processing methods.Using methods of theoretical modeling, idealization, and theoretical experiments, the authors consider the categories of legal personality, security, and tort of digital technologies and products, compare them with similar legal institutions, and determine possible options for integrating new legal categories into traditional rule of law on contracts, liability, and the protection of intellectual rights.As a result of the study, the authors have assembled their vision of those benchmarks, on which international strategies for regulating the digital economy should be built. …”
