Head movements evoked by an invisible acoustic target were used as a metric to analyze localization of moving sources of sound in naive cats. The target was presented in the lateral sound field and moved along an arc at constant angular speeds. Head-movement trajectories were characterized by a large-magnitude orienting component that undershot the target, and a tracking component elicited by the target during acoustic pursuit. The tracking component was characterized by a succession of stepwise head movements that maintained a relatively close alignment of the median plane of the head with the moving acoustic target.

Nystagmus has various clinical manifestations, including downbeat, upbeat, and torsional types, each associated with distinct neurologic features. Current rehabilitative interventions focusing on fixation training and optical correction often fail to achieve complete resolution. When nystagmus coexists with fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS), functional impairments worsen, particularly affecting balance.

Article Synopsis
- The study reviews the literature on Shear Wave Elastography (SWE), a non-invasive ultrasound imaging technique used for various tissues and organs.
- The analysis of 3606 research papers revealed China's dominance in SWE publications, with significant contributions from Sun Yat-Sen University and collaboration with the U.S.
- Future research is expected to focus on combining SWE with Contrast-enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS) for enhanced diagnostic capabilities and exploring the integration of different ultrasound technologies.
A D* orthogonal matching pursuit algorithm for time-varying channel estimation.

Orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) combined with the A* search algorithm (A*OMP) exhibits robust reconstruction capabilities for synthesizing sparse data and signals, achieving relatively low reconstruction errors and a higher exact recovery ability than conventional OMP. However, A*OMP is only suitable for static channel estimation and cannot be applied to dynamic scenarios. This is because the channel delays for several consecutive orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing blocks per frame are similar and the path gains exhibit temporal correlation.

Understanding how the environment mediates an organism's ability to meet basic survival requirements is a fundamental goal of ecology. Vessel noise is a global threat to marine ecosystems and is increasing in intensity and spatiotemporal extent due to growth in shipping coupled with physical changes to ocean soundscapes from ocean warming and acidification. Odontocetes rely on biosonar to forage, yet determining the consequences of vessel noise on foraging has been limited by the challenges of observing underwater foraging outcomes and measuring noise levels received by individuals.

Medical Speed-of-sound (SoS) imaging, which can characterize medical tissue properties better by quantifying their different SoS, is an effective imaging method compared with conventional B-mode ultrasound imaging. As a commonly used diagnostic instrument, a hand-held array probe features convenient and quick inspection. However, artifacts will occur in the single-angle SoS imaging, resulting in indistinguishable tissue boundaries.
