Published: June 2012

Nonlinear excitation of linearly stable microtearing modes--with zonal modes acting as a catalyst--is shown to be responsible for the near-ubiquitous magnetic stochasticity and associated electromagnetic electron heat transport in electromagnetic gyrokinetic simulations of plasma microturbulence.

Understanding the differences between functional and structural human brain connectivity has been a focus of an extensive amount of neuroscience research. We employ a novel approach using the multinomial stochastic block model (MSBM) to explicitly extract components that characterize prominent differences across graphs. We analyze structural and functional connectomes derived from high-resolution diffusion-weighted MRI and fMRI scans of 250 Human Connectome Project subjects, analyzed at group connectivity level across 50 subjects.

The construction of coarse-grained descriptions of a system's kinetics is well established in biophysics. One prominent example is Markov state models in protein folding dynamics. In this paper, we develop a coarse-grained, discrete state model of a self-aggregating colloidal particle system inspired by the concepts of Markov state modeling.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on developing a fully automated segmentation method for spinal MRI images using a convolutional-deconvolution neural network to improve efficiency and accuracy in diagnosing spinal diseases.
  • A combination of patch extraction and feature representation techniques allows the model to effectively learn and accurately segment spine MRI data, resulting in high precision and performance metrics compared to traditional methods.
  • Experimental results demonstrate the proposed method's capability, achieving impressive statistics (e.g., 91.1% recall, 93.2% accuracy) and highlighting its potential to overcome the challenges of conventional segmentation techniques.

Deciding between a pair of familiar items is thought to rely on a comparison of their subjective values. When the values are similar, decisions take longer, and the choice may be inconsistent with stated value. These regularities are thought to be explained by the same mechanism of noisy evidence accumulation that leads to perceptual errors under conditions of low signal to noise.

Article Synopsis
  • Turbulence and magnetic reconnection are important nonlinear plasma phenomena that significantly affect energy transport in space and astrophysical plasmas.
  • Recent high-resolution, multi-spacecraft observations have improved our understanding of their complex interactions, revealing how turbulence generates current sheets that can undergo reconnection.
  • This paper reviews current knowledge on these interactions in collisionless plasmas, particularly in Earth's magnetosphere, highlighting findings from NASA's missions in key areas like the magnetosheath and magnetotail.
