What is Cubic: Definition and 427 Discussions

CUBIC (abbreviation for “clear, unobstructed brain/body imaging cocktails and computational analysis) is a histology method that allows tissues to be transparent (process called “tissue clearing”). As a result it makes investigation of large biological samples with microscopy easier and faster.
The method was published in 2014 by Etsuo A. Susaki and Hiroki R. Ueda, primarily for use in neurobiology research of brains from model organisms like rodents or small primates. But in upcoming years there were other works published, using CUBIC method on other tissues like lymph nodes or mammary glands. CUBIC can be also combined with CLARITY-based tissue clearing methods.

    Inflection Point Calculation: Reduction of Cubic with Second Derivative Method

    (i) I take the second derivative of Y: Y'' = 6X + 2A. Y'' = 0 when X = -A/3. Moreover, as Y'' is linear it changes sign at this X. Thus, it is the point of inflection. (iii) After the substitution, the term x^2 appears twice: one, from X^3 as -3(x^2)(A/3), and another from AX^2 as Ax^2. They...

    Understanding Cubic Factorization: Solving for Roots with a and -2a

    This is part of a longer exercise I struggled with. I checked the solutions manual, and there was a bit where they performed the following steps: $$x^3=3a^2x-2a^3 \\$$ $$(x-a)^2(x+2a)=0$$ And then concluded that the roots were ##a## and ##-2a##, which is clear. What I can't work out is how...
