Multiplexed gene expression analysis in dissociated and intact planarian flatworm tissues using in situ hybridization chain reaction

Planarians are an important model system for studying whole-body regeneration. The visualization of gene expression patterns during this process is an essential experimental technique to understand the underlying mechanisms. Multi-colour fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) i...

Evaluating the classification performance and data requirements of Catch22 features on noisy and short synthetic time series

Abstract This study evaluates the performance, data requirements, and computational efficiency of the feature extraction tool Catch22 for time-series classification. Using synthetic sinusoidal signals and nonlinear signals generated with the FitzHugh-Nagumo (FHN) model, we system...

Bulldozing an immersed granular material in a confined channel

The motion of an immersed granular material in a channel is characterised by complex interactions among the grains, between the grains and the permeating liquid, and between the grains and the channel walls. Here, we develop a reduced-order continuum model for the bulldozing of a...

Highly localized droplet clustering in shallow cumulus clouds

The size and spatial clustering of water droplets in warm clouds influence cloud evolution and radiation properties and thus are of fundamental importance for the Earth’s energy balance and water cycle. Some proposed mechanisms for droplet growth and precipitation initiation in w...
