A spectral model of scalar irradiance with depth is applied to calculations of photosynthetically available radiation for a vertically homogeneous water column. The model runs more than 14,000 times faster than the full Hydrolight code, while it limits the percentage error to 2.20% and the maximum error to less than 4.78%. The distribution of incident sky radiance and the effects of a wind-roughened surface are integrated into this model. It can be applied to case 1 waters as well as to case 2 waters that happen to be gelbstoff rich, and the volume-scattering phase function can be generated dynamically based on the backscatter fraction. This new model is both fast and accurate and is, therefore, suitable for use interactively in models of the oceanic system, such as biogeochemical models or the heat budget part of global circulation models. It can also be applied by use of remote-sensing data to improve light-field calculations as a function of depth, which is needed for the estimation of global ocean carbon production and the ocean heat budget.

The kidney, vital for metabolic balance, faces risks of severe diseases if dysfunctional. The glomerular filtration barrier (GFB), crucial for blood filtration, disrupts in conditions like diabetic nephropathy or nephritides, resulting in proteinuria or even renal failure. Monitoring GFB integrity is essential for early diagnosis or prognostic monitoring.

Regulation of Dopamine Release by Tonic Activity Patterns in the Striatal Brain Slice.

ACS Chem Neurosci

January 2025

Departments of Psychiatry and Neurology, Division of Molecular Therapeutics, New York State Psychiatric Institute, Columbia University Medical Center, New York, New York 10032, United States.

Voluntary movement, motivation, and reinforcement learning depend on the activity of ventral midbrain neurons, which extend axons to release dopamine (DA) in the striatum. These neurons exhibit two patterns of action potential activity: low-frequency tonic activity that is intrinsically generated and superimposed high-frequency phasic bursts that are driven by synaptic inputs. acute striatal brain preparations are widely employed to study the regulation of evoked DA release but exhibit very different DA release kinetics than recordings.

HClO is considered a potential contributing factor and biomarker of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Accurate monitoring of lysosomal HClO is important for further developing specific diagnostic and therapeutic schedules for IBD. However, only rare types of fluorescent probes have been reported for detecting HClO in IBD so far.

Accurate 6D object pose estimation is critical for autonomous docking. To address the inefficiencies and inaccuracies associated with maximal cliques-based pose estimation methods, we propose a fast 6D pose estimation algorithm that integrates feature space and space compatibility constraints. The algorithm reduces the graph size by employing Laplacian filtering to resample high-frequency signal nodes.
