Objective: To compare the spatial accuracy of 6 linear distributed inverse solutions for EEG source localisation of interictal epileptic discharges: Minimum Norm, Weighted Minimum Norm, Low-Resolution Electromagnetic Tomography (LORETA), Local Autoregressive Average (LAURA), Standardised LORETA, and Exact LORETA.
Methods: Spatial accuracy was assessed clinically by retrospectively comparing the maximum source of averaged interictal discharges to the resected brain area in 30 patients with successful epilepsy surgery, based on 204-channel EEG. Additionally, localisation errors of the inverse solutions were assessed in computer simulations, with different levels of noise added to the signal in both sensor space and source space.
Results: In the clinical evaluations, the source maximum was located inside the resected brain area in 50-57% of patients when using LORETA or LAURA, while all other inverse solutions performed significantly worse (17-30%; corrected p < 0.01). In the simulation studies, when noise levels exceeded 10%, LORETA and LAURA had substantially smaller localisation errors than the other inverse solutions.
Conclusions: LORETA and LAURA provided the highest spatial accuracy both in clinical and simulated data, alongside with a comparably high robustness towards noise.
Significance: Among the different linear inverse solution algorithms tested, LORETA and LAURA might be preferred for interictal EEG source localisation.

Nucleotide sugars (NSs) are essential building blocks for the enzymatic assembly of glycans. In this study, we established a preparation and recycling avenue to the biocatalysts for the enzymatic synthesis of NSs. This approach involves fusing two enzymes into a bifunctional chimera and using elastin-like polypeptides (ET64) as a purification tag, which allows for easy recovery of these biocatalysts without the need for chromatography.

Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) has developed over the last few decades into a valuable crystallographic characterisation method for a wide range of sample types. Despite these advances, issues such as the complexity of sample preparation, relatively slow acquisition, and damage in beam-sensitive samples, still limit the quantity and quality of interpretable data that can be obtained. To mitigate these issues, here we propose a method based on the subsampling of probe positions and subsequent reconstruction of an incomplete data set.

Article Synopsis
- Accurately determining the mechanical parameters of SiC/SiC composites is essential for designing effective turbine disc structures.
- A 2D model of these composites was created using CT scanning and machine learning, and their mechanical properties were analyzed through uniaxial tensile tests and genetic algorithms.
- The study found that simulation results closely matched experimental data, leading to validated finite element models for different turbine disc designs and their damage simulations.
Validation of the Perceived hope scale in Arabic-speaking adults living in Gaza in the midst of war, destruction and death.

Background: Despite its obvious relevance for clinical practice and research, it is surprising that presently no hope measure is available for use among Arabic-speaking populations, especially the most vulnerable ones who have been going through major humanitarian crises. This paper aimed to provide novel insights into psychometric information on the psychometric properties of an Arabic translation of the Perceived Hope Scale (PHS) in Palestinians living in Gaza who have endured several months of suffering since the war began in October 2023.
Method: This study had a cross-sectional design and applied a quantitative research approach.
