Complexity matching in neural networks

Description: This article adopts the complexity matching principle that the maximal efficiency of communication between two complex networks is realized when both of them are at criticality, and uses this principle to establish the value of the neuronal interaction strength at which criticality occurs.

State-selective charge transfer cross sections for light ion impact of atomic hydrogen

Description: This article compares results of approaches applicable in a lower impact energy regime by benchmarking them using key experimental data in order to make knowledge of these cross sections available across the range parameters needed by fusion plasma diagnostics.

The Spreading of Charged Micro-Droplets

Description: This article considers the analysis of the Betelu-Fontelos model of the spreading of a charged microdroplet on a at dielectric surface whose spreading is driven by surface tension and electrostatic repulsion.

Sturm Bounds for Siegel Modular Forms

Description: This article establishes Sturm bounds for degree g Siegel modular forms modulo a prime p, which are vital for explicit computations. This includes an inductive proof that exploits Fourier-Jacobi expansions of Siegel modular forms and properties of specializations of Jacobi forms to torsion points.

Molecular Markers of Neuropsychological Functioning and Alzheimer's Disease

Description: Article examines molecular markers of neuropsychological functioning among elders with and without Alzheimer's disease (AD) and determine the predictive ability of combined molecular markers and select neuropsychological tests in detecting disease presence. This work provides the foundation for the generation of a point‐of‐care device that can be used to screen for AD.

Giant cross-magnetic-field steps due to binary collisions between pair particles

Description: Article explores giant cross-magnetic-field steps which occur as a result of positron-electron collisions. Within a constant magnetic field (e.g., 1 T), a collision between a positron and an electron can result in a correlated drift across the magnetic field for a continuous range of impact parameters. Within this range, drift distances orders of magnitude larger than that associated with like-charge collisions were observed by computer simulation.
