Exploring the neural basis of intelligence and the corresponding associations with brain network has been an active area of research in network neuroscience. Up to now, the majority of explorations mining human intelligence in brain connectomics leverages whole-brain functional connectivity patterns. In this study, structural connectivity patterns are instead used to explore relationships between brain connectivity and different behavioral/cognitive measures such as fluid intelligence. Specifically, we conduct a study using the 397 unrelated subjects from Human Connectome Project (Young Adults) dataset to estimate individual level structural connectivity matrices. We show that topological features, as quantified by our proposed measurements: Average Persistence (AP) and Persistent Entropy (PE), has statistically significant associations with different behavioral/cognitive measures. We also perform a parallel study using traditional graph-theoretical measures, provided by Brain Connectivity Toolbox, as benchmarks for our study. Our findings indicate that individual's structural connectivity indeed offers reliable predictive power of different behavioral/cognitive measures, including but not limited to fluid intelligence. Our results suggest that structural connectomes provide complementary insights (compared to using functional connectomes) in predicting human intelligence and warrants future studies on human intelligence and/or other behavioral/cognitive measures involving multi-modal approach.

The Brownstripe Snapper, (Quoy and Gaimard, 1824) is a commercially important snapper extensively caught in Malaysia. We examined genetic diversity, population connectivity, and historical demographics of the , off the eastern coast of peninsular Malaysia based on an 817 bp region of the mtDNA control region sequences. Maximum likelihood gene trees demonstrated that the populations under study had limited structuring and formed a single panmictic population that lacks support for internal clades.

0D hybrid metal halide (HMH) luminescent glasses have garnered significant attentions for its chemical diversity in optoelectronic applications and it also retains the skeleton connectivity and coordination mode of the crystalline counterparts while exhibiting various physics/chemistry characteristics distinct from the crystalline states. However, understanding of the glass-forming ability and the specific structural origins underpinning the luminescent properties of 0D HMH glasses remains elusive. In this review, it is started from the solid-liquid phase transition and thermodynamic analysis of 0D HMHs formed through melt-quenching, and summarize the current compounds capable of stably forming glassy phases via chemical structural design.

Neurological recovery in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) is multifaceted, involving mechanisms such as remyelination and perilesional spinal neuroplasticity, with cortical reorganization being one contributing factor. Cortical reorganization, in particular, can be evaluated through network (graph) analysis of interregional functional connectivity. This study aimed to investigate cortical reorganization patterns in persons with chronic SCI using a multilayer community detection approach on resting-state functional MRI data.

Multilayered metal-dielectric nanostructures display both a strong plasmonic behavior and hyperbolic optical dispersion. The latter is responsible for the appearance of two separated radiative and nonradiative channels in the extinction spectrum of these structures. This unique property can open plenty of opportunities toward the development of multifunctional systems that simultaneously can behave as optimal scatterers and absorbers at different wavelengths, an important feature to achieve multiscale control of light-matter interactions in different spectral regions for different types of applications, such as optical computing or detection of thermal radiation.
