The accuracy, resolution, and economic cost of near-field acoustic holography (NAH) are highly dependent on the number of spatial sampling points. Generally, higher accuracy and resolution require more spatial sampling points, which may increase the workload of measurement or the hardware cost. Compressive sensing (CS) is able to solve the underdetermined problems by utilizing the sparsity of signals, and thus it can be applied to NAH to reduce the number of spatial sampling points but at the same time provide a high-resolution reconstruction image. Based on the CS theory, this paper proposes a compressed modal equivalent point source method (CMESM). In the method, a sparse basis that is obtained from the eigen-decomposition of the power resistance matrix is introduced to compress the equivalent point source strengths, and the ℓ-norm minimization is used to promote sparse solutions. Both numerical simulation and experimental results demonstrate the validity of the proposed CMESM and show its advantage over the existing methods when the number of spatial sampling points is reduced.

Volume electron microscopy (vEM) enables biologists to visualize nanoscale 3D ultrastructure of entire eukaryotic cells and tissues prepared by heavy atom staining and plastic embedding. The highest resolution vEM technique is focused ion-beam scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM), which provides nearly isotropic (~5-10 nm) spatial resolution at fluences of > 10,000 e /nm . However, it is not clear how such high resolution is achievable because serial block-face (SBF) SEM, which incorporates an in-situ ultramicrotome instead of a Ga FIB beam, results in radiation-induced collapse of similar specimen blocks at fluences of only ~20 e /nm .

We sought to understand the spatially-anchored regulation and transition of endothelial and mesangial cells from health to injury in DKD. From 74 human kidney samples, an integrated multi-omics approach was leveraged to identify cellular niches, cell-cell communication, cell injury trajectories, and regulatory transcription factor (TF) networks in glomerular capillary endothelial (EC-GC) and mesangial cells.

Cell-generated forces play a critical role in driving and regulating complex biological processes, such as cell migration and division and cell and tissue morphogenesis in development and disease. Traction force microscopy (TFM) is an established technique developed in the field of mechanobiology used to quantify cellular forces exerted on soft substrates and internal mechanical tissue stresses. TFM measures cell-generated traction forces in 2D or 3D environments with varying mechanical and biochemical properties.

Karst ecosystems often contain extraordinary biodiversity, but the complex underground aquifers of karst regions present challenges for assessing and conserving stygobiont diversity and investigating their evolutionary history. We examined the karst-obligate salamanders of the species complex in the Edwards Plateau region of central Texas using population genomics data to address questions about population connectivity and the potential for gene exchange within the underlying aquifer system. The species complex has historically been divided into three nominal species, but their status, and spatial extent of species ranges, have remained uncertain.

Introduction: While cadaveric dissections remain the cornerstone of education in skull base surgery, they are associated with high costs, difficulty acquiring specimens, and a lack of pathology in anatomical samples. This study evaluated the impact of a hand-crafted three-dimensional (3D)-printed head model and virtual reality (VR) in enhancing skull base surgery training.
Research Question: How effective are 3D-printed models and VR in enhancing training in skull base surgery?
Materials And Methods: A two-day skull base training course was conducted with 12 neurosurgical trainees and 11 faculty members.
