Imaging performance of a CaWO4/CMOS sensor by Niki Martini, Vaia Koukou, George Fountos, Ioannis Valais, Ioannis Kandarakis, Christos Michail, Athanasios Bakas, Eleftherios Lavdas, Konstantinos Ninos, Georgia Oikonomou, Lida Gogou, George Panayiotakis

“…The aim of this study was to investigate the modulation transfer function (MTF) and the effective gain transfer function (eGTF) of a non-destruc¬¬tive testing (NDT)/industrial inspection complementary metal oxide semi¬conductor (CMOS) sensor in conjunction with a thin calcium tungstate (CaWO4) screen. Thin screen samples, with dimensions of 2.7x3.6 cm2 and thick¬ness of 118.9 �m, estimated from scanning electron microscopy-SEM im¬ages, were extracted from an Agfa Curix universal screen and coupled to the active area of an active pixel (APS) CMOS sensor. …”

The enigmatic SLC26A6 multifunctional anion transporter: recent advances in structure-function relationship, pathophysiological significance and novel pharmacological inhibitors by Ursula E. Seidler

“…Secondly, whole exon sequencing of a kidney stone cohort from the United Kingdom database revealed a dominant negative SLC26A6 mutation in a patient with enteric hyperoxaluria, oxalate kidney stones and a low calcium diet. How does this finding fit with previous genetic studies in mice and humans of SLC26A6 gene mutations? …”

Kilohertz electrical stimulation evokes robust cellular responses like conventional frequencies but distinct population dynamics by Cara R. Ravasio, Krishnakanth Kondabolu, Samuel Zhou, Eric Lowet, Erynne San Antonio, Rebecca A. Mount, Sukhneet K. Bhogal, Xue Han

“…However, it is unknown how kilohertz stimulation influences neural activity in the mammalian brain. Using cellular calcium imaging in awake mice, we demonstrate that intracranial stimulation at 1 kHz evokes robust responses in many individual neurons, comparable to those induced by conventional 40 and 140 Hz stimulation in both the hippocampus and sensorimotor cortex. …”

Analysis of Soil-Vegetation Interrelationships in a South-Southern Secondary Forest of Nigeria by D. D. Eni, A. I. Iwara, R. A. Offiong

“…PCA result showed that exchangeable sodium, organic matter, cation exchange capacity, exchangeable calcium, and sand content were the major soil properties sustaining the regenerative capacity and luxuriant characteristics of the secondary forest, while tree size and tree density constituted the main vegetation parameters protecting and enriching the soil for its continuous support to the vegetation after decades of anthropogenic disturbance (food crop cultivation and illegal logging activities) before its acquisition and subsequent preservation by the Cross River State government in 2003. …”
