Interactions between age and sex in multiscale entropy and spectral power changes across the lifespan

Published on 2026-10-22 by @MIT

Abstract: AbstractMultiscale entropy (MSE) changes in relation to age, whereby ageing is associated with an increasing bias towards fine scale entropy. This change is thought to represent a shift towards localized information processing in the brain as we age. However, this relationship has not been tested in large sample sizes alongside other demographic factors and cognitive behaviours. This study aimed to replicate previously reported effects of ageing on MSE in an open access database (Cambridge Centr[...]


Our summary: This study investigates the interactions between age and sex on multiscale entropy and spectral power changes. It finds that aging is linked to increased fine scale entropy and altered spectral characteristics, with variations based on sex. The research highlights the importance of entropy measures in understanding cognitive processing changes across the lifespan.

Assessing the reliability of hippocampal single-voxel proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy through intra-class effect decomposition

Published on 2026-10-16 by @MIT

Abstract: AbstractThe hippocampus is crucial for learning, memory, and stress regulation, but is vulnerable to influences that compromise its structural and metabolic integrity. Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) enables in vivo quantification of hippocampal neurochemistry, yet the absolute and relative reliability of these measures has rarely been systematically evaluated. We assessed hippocampal metabolite estimates acquired with single-voxel MRS using a semi-adiabatic localization by adiabati[...]


Our summary: This study evaluates the reliability of hippocampal metabolite estimates using single-voxel proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Absolute reliability was found to be high for several metabolites, while relative reliability varied significantly. Methodological improvements are suggested to enhance the reliability for individual-level applications.

CFD simulation of enhanced heat transfer and fluid flow during rotational charging of internally finned hydrogen tanks

Published on 2026-10-15 by @OXFORD

Abstract: Abstract High-pressure filling operations in portly-volume Type IV composite storage hydrogen tanks bring about overheating problems that can put the tank structure at risk due to sudden compression of the gas and the Joule–Thomson phenomenon. In this research, with the help of a time-dependent computational fluid dynamics method, an active rotational mixing method was tested to accelerate convection heat conduction in a hydrogen tank with an internal volume of 18.04 m3 and internal fins thro[...]


Our summary: This study investigates the impact of rotational mixing on heat transfer during hydrogen tank charging. A computational fluid dynamics approach was utilized to analyze temperature and density changes at varying rotation speeds. Findings indicate an optimal rotation speed of 30 rad/s significantly improves thermal performance while minimizing overheating risks.

Information processing program and information processing device

Patent published on the 2026-10-15 in WO under Ref WO2026216020 by FUJITSU LTD [JP] (Arai Yamato [jp], Ichikawa Yuma [jp])

Abstract: An information processing device sequentially quantizes layers i of a multilayer model by using PV-Tuning. At such a time, when performing a P-Step on a certain layer i, the information processing device performs the P-Step by using an objective function including an elements that serves to reduce quantization errors accumulated up to the immediately preceding layer i-1. When performing the V-Step on a certain layer i, the information processing device performs the V-Step by means of a gradient-[...]


Our summary: The information processing device quantizes layers of a multilayer model using PV-Tuning. It reduces quantization errors from the previous layer during the P-Step and applies a gradient-based optimization with an entropy term during the V-Step. This approach minimizes performance degradation and processing time during model quantization.

Single adiabatic inductor linkages for soft-switching switching bridges

Patent published on the 2026-10-15 in WO under Ref WO2026215611 by WOOD JOHN [GB] (Wood John [gb])

Abstract: The object of the Single Adiabatic Inductor Linkages (SAIL) is to improve on the prior art by first dramatically reducing/eliminating the complexity of the control algorithm needed to implement soft switching of PWM power systems. By reducing the number of inductors 100 to one, cost, weight and size may be reduced. A single inductor 100 is able to support at least six phases e.g. a single inductor 100 can be used for both a 3-phase PFC input 700 and 3-phase Motor output 600 power bridges (six ph[...]


Our summary: Single Adiabatic Inductor Linkages (SAIL) simplify control algorithms for soft-switching in PWM power systems. They reduce the number of inductors needed from six to one, decreasing cost, weight, and size. A single inductor can support multiple phases, enhancing efficiency in power bridges.
