Late emergence of pathological oscillatory activity in the retina of the Retinitis pigmentosa model RCS (Royal College of Surgeons) rat https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0324345

Late emergence of pathological oscillatory activity in the retina of the Retinitis pigmentosa model RCS (Royal College of Surgeons) rat
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a leading cause of blindness. The best studied models of human RP are the rd1 and rd10 mouse and the RCS rat (Royal College of Surgeons). In many models after degeneration of the photoreceptors, a pathological rhythmic activity of the retina as well as lowered efficiency of electrical stimulation were observed. In rd10 retina, both events were shown to be intimately linked. Surprisingly, to our knowledge no retinal oscillations have been reported in RCS retina. As o…

Power failure in offshore gas field cuts Norwegian gas flows to EU and UK by 1/3.
Given the season it mainly affects the rate at which EU gas storages can be refilled.

🚨🇳🇴Norwegian gas supplies to the🇪🇺EU are down as the largest gas field in the country's offshore suffers an widespread power failure ⚡️Maintenance is underway in many Norwegian assets, but this unplanned outage could last for days, complicating Monday's market opening and the refilling of gas storages Yesterday, the Norwegian offshore pipeline operator alerted markets that something was wrong at the Troll gas field, the largest operating gas production field in Europe and w…

Active Learning for Manifold Gaussian Process Regression
This paper introduces an active learning framework for manifold Gaussian Process (GP) regression, combining manifold learning with strategic data selection to improve accuracy in high-dimensional spaces. Our method jointly optimizes a neural network for dimensionality reduction and a Gaussian process regressor in the latent space, supervised by an active learning criterion that minimizes global prediction error. Experiments on synthetic data demonstrate superior performance over randomly sequen…

Modeling active nematics via the nematic locking principle
Active nematic systems consist of rod-like internally driven subunits that interact with one another to form large-scale coherent flows. They are important examples of far-from-equilibrium fluids, which exhibit a wealth of nonlinear behavior. This includes active turbulence, in which topological defects braid around one another in a chaotic fashion. One of the most studied examples of active nematics is a dense two-dimensional layer of microtubules, crosslinked by kinesin molecular motors that …

Active Disturbance Rejection Control for Trajectory Tracking of a Seagoing USV: Design, Simulation, and Field Experiments
Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs) face significant control challenges due to uncertain environmental disturbances like waves and currents. This paper proposes a trajectory tracking controller based on Active Disturbance Rejection Control (ADRC) implemented on the DUS V2500. A custom simulation incorporating realistic waves and current disturbances is developed to validate the controller's performance, supported by further validation through field tests in the harbour of Scheveningen, the Netherla…
