Summary: The development of realistic computational models of the human anatomy, aided by high-performance computing and open-source simulation platforms, has advanced the field of radiation dosimetry. By combining flexible and realistic models with biological data and accurate radiation transport modeling tools, it is now possible to produce dosimetric data that accurately reflects the clinical setup.

Summary: High-skill activities contribute more to well-being than low-skill ones. Despite this, consumers often spend more leisure time on low-skill activities, even though they recognize that high-skill activities bring more happiness despite requiring more effort. Five experiments demonstrate that consumers are happier when engaging in high-skill activities, and this increased happiness is mediated by experiencing flow. Expertise in an activity moderates this effect, with relative experts experiencing greater happiness and meaning. This knowledge can be used by consumers to improve well-being and by marketers and employers to enhance satisfaction.

Summary: Research demonstrates how values shape organizational purposes and forms, with sacred stories playing a significant role in values work by transforming it into a two-way learning dialectic. Sacred stories are not unchangeable core beliefs, but rather gain vitality through ongoing moral inquiry.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to determine the anatomical and physical properties of three lesser-known Malaysian timber species, and to discuss the factors that influenced their density and shrinkage. The results showed that the wood fibers and density varied among the species, and that density was closely correlated with shrinkage. The study suggests that mahang, medang, and terap wood have the potential to be alternative raw materials for wood-based industries.

Summary: This study evaluated the effectiveness of three-dimensional printed models (3DPMs) in learning the arterial supply of the head and neck region. The results showed that all four learning modalities, including wet specimens, digital models, 3DPMs, and textbook images, supported participants' knowledge acquisition, with wet specimens being the most effective. While participants rated 3DPMs lower in helping with the correct identification of structures compared to wet specimens, they praised 3DPMs for their ability to demonstrate topographical relationships. The study concluded that future designs of 3DPMs should consider the balance between ease of visualization and complexity for successful learning transfer.

Summary: The intercalated cells of the amygdala (ITCs) are understudied processing structures that play a role in conditioned fear. This study used genetic strategies to reveal the input and output connections of ITCs in mice. The results show that ITCs receive information from various brain structures and project broadly to different areas, suggesting that they may influence a wide range of behaviors.
