Hair cells, the receptors of the inner ear, detect sounds by transducing mechanical vibrations into electrical signals. From the top surface of each hair cell protrudes a mechanical antenna, the hair bundle, which the cell uses to detect and amplify auditory stimuli, thus sharpening frequency selectivity and providing a broad dynamic range. Current methods for mechanically stimulating hair bundles are too slow to encompass the frequency range of mammalian hearing and are plagued by inconsistencies....

The log and fchk files for NTOs in Section 5. Contains NTOs for the first and second singlet excited state of 6C, 7C, 13C, and 14C, and the first excited state of 10 and 11E. Calculated using wB97XD/DGTZVP from wB97XD/DGTZVP excited state checkpoint files.

0.749 g of thymol and 0.714 g of Cyclopentylacetic acid was measured out. In a round bottom flask with a magnetic stirrer bar, 15mL of acetonitrile, 0.5 mmol of DMAP and 6.5 mmol of EDC·HCl was added. Then the acid and thymol were added add with the aid of acetonitrile (10 mL) each. Heater and stirring was turned on after the condenser was set to run (100 °C). TLC assessments were carried out every hour...

We applied three-dimensional X-ray microtomography to image a capillary drainage process (0-1000 kPa) in a cm-scale heterogeneous laminated sandstone containing three distinct regions with different pore sizes to study the capillary pressure. We used differential imaging to distinguish solid, macro pore and five levels of sub-resolution pore phases associated with each region. The brine saturation distribution was computed based on average CT values. The non-wetting phase displaced the wetting phase in order of pore size...

Insects that predate aerially usually contrast prey against the sky and attack upwards. However, killer flies (Coenosia attenuata) can attack prey flying below them, performing what we term 'aerial dives'. During these dives, killer flies accelerate up to 36 m/s2. Although the trajectories of the killer fly's dives appear highly variable, proportional navigation explains them, as long as the model has the lateral acceleration limit of a real killer fly. The trajectory's steepness is explained...
