Modeling the Effector - Regulatory T Cell Cross-Regulation Reveals the Intrinsic Character of Relapses in Multiple Sclerosis
(Biomed Central, 2011-07-15)Background: The relapsing-remitting dynamics is a hallmark of autoimmune diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Although current understanding of both cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of ... -
Polymer-Optical-Fiber Lasers and Amplifiers Doped with Organic Dyes
(MDPI, 2011-09)Polymer optical fibers (POFs) doped with organic dyes can be used to make efficient lasers and amplifiers due to the high gains achievable in short distances. This paper analyzes the peculiarities of light amplification ... -
GABAergic and Cortical and Subcortical Glutamatergic Axon Terminals Contain CB1 Cannabinoid Receptors in the Ventromedial Nucleus of the Hypothalamus
(Public Library of Science, 2011-10)Background: Type-1 cannabinoid receptors (CB1R) are enriched in the hypothalamus, particularly in the ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus (VMH) that participates in homeostatic and behavioral functions including food intake. ... -
The interactive brain hypothesis
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2012-06)Enactive approaches foreground the role of interpersonal interaction in explanations of social understanding. This motivates, in combination with a recent interest in neuroscientific studies involving actual interactions, ... -
Multiple SNP Markers Reveal Fine-Scale Population and Deep Phylogeographic Structure in European Anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus L.)
(Public Library of Science, 2012-07-30)Geographic surveys of allozymes, microsatellites, nuclear DNA (nDNA) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have detected several genetic subdivisions among European anchovy populations. However, these studies have been limited in ... -
Permutationally invariant state reconstruction
(IOP Publishing, 2012-10)Feasible tomography schemes for large particle numbers must possess, besides an appropriate data acquisition protocol, an efficient way to reconstruct the density operator from the observed finite data set. Since state ... -
Dealing with Energy-QoE Trade-Offs in Mobile Video
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2013)Scalable video coding allows an efficient provision of video services at different quality levels with different energy demands. According to the specific type of service and network scenario, end users and/or operators ... -
Empirical Doppler Characterization of Signals Scattered by Wind Turbines in the UHF Band under Near Field Condition
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2013)Time variability of the scattering signals from wind turbines may lead to degradation problems on the communication systems provided in the UHF band, especially under near field condition. In order to analyze the variability ... -
Long-lived oscillatory incoherent electron dynamics in molecules: trans-polyacetylene oligomers
(IOP Publishing, 2013-04)We identify an intriguing feature of the electron-vibrational dynamics of molecular systems via a computational examination of trans-polyacetylene oligomers. Here, via the vibronic interactions, the decay of an electron ... -
Efficient Gate-tunable light-emitting device made of defective boron nitride nanotubes: from ultraviolet to the visible
(Nature Publishing Group, 2013-09)Boron nitride is a promising material for nanotechnology applications due to its two-dimensional graphene-like, insulating, and highly-resistant structure. Recently it has received a lot of attention as a substrate to grow ... -
A Measurement-based Multipath Channel Model for Signal Propagation in Presence of Wind Farms in the UHF Band
(IEEE, 2013-10-15)[EN] Scattering signals on wind turbines may lead to degradation problems on the communication systems provided in the UHF band, such as terrestrial television broadcasting, broadband wireless systems or public safety ... -
Two-magnon bound state causes ultrafast thermally induced magnetisation switching
(Nature Publishing Group, 2013-11)There has been much interest recently in the discovery of thermally induced magnetisation switching using femtosecond laser excitation, where a ferrimagnetic system can be switched deterministically without an applied ... -
A Novel Scheduling Index Rule Proposal for QoE Maximization in Wireless Networks
(Hindawi Publishing, 2014)This paper deals with the resource allocation problem aimed at maximizing users' perception of quality in wireless channels with time-varying capacity. First of all, we model the subjective quality-aware scheduling problem ... -
