Collective near-field coupling and nonlocal phenomena in infrared-phononic metasurfaces for nano-light canalization
(Nature, 2020-07-21)
Polaritons - coupled excitations of photons and dipolar matter excitations - can propagate along anisotropic metasurfaces with either hyperbolic or elliptical dispersion. At the transition from hyperbolic to elliptical ...
Building synthetic simulated environments for configuring and training multi-camera systems for surveillance applications
(SciTePress, Science and Technology Publications, Lda, 2021)
[EN] Synthetic simulated environments are gaining popularity in the Deep Learning Era, as they can alleviate the
effort and cost of two critical tasks to build multi-camera systems for surveillance applications: setting ...
Allostatic hypermetabolic response in PGC1 alpha/beta heterozygote mouse despite mitochondrial defects
(Wiley, 2021-09)
Aging, obesity, and insulin resistance are associated with low levels of PGC1 alpha and PGC1 beta coactivators and defective mitochondrial function. We studied mice deficient for PGC1 alpha and PGC1 beta [double heterozygous ...
Placebo from an enactive perspective
(Frontiers Media, 2021-06-02)
[EN] Due to their complexity and variability, placebo effects remain controversial. We suggest
this is also due to a set of problematic assumptions (dualism, reductionism, individualism,
passivity). We critically assess ...
Tunable Polymeric Scaffolds for Enzyme Immobilization
(Frontiers Media, 2020-07-30)
The number of methodologies for the immobilization of enzymes using polymeric supports is continuously growing due to the developments in the fields of biotechnology, polymer chemistry, and nanotechnology in the last years. ...
Methodology and Research Protocols People with Disabilities and Other Forms of Vulnerability to the COVID-19 Pandemic: Study Protocol for a Scoping Review and Thematic Analysis
(Elsevier, 2020-12)
Objectives: To develop a protocol for a scoping review mapping as well as thematically analyzing the literature on the effect of, and responses to, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, focused on people with ...
Crowded Solutions of Single-Chain Nanoparticles under Shear Flow
(Royal Society Of Chemistry, 2021-03-04)
Single-chain nanoparticles (SCNPs) are ultrasoft objects obtained through purely intramolecular cross-linking of single polymer chains. By means of computer simulations with implemented hydrodynamic interactions, we ...
Grape Polyphenols Supplementation for Exercise-Induced Oxidative Stress
(BioMed Central, 2021-01-07)
Exercise induces free radicals' overproduction and therefore, an enhancement of oxidative stress, defined as an imbalance between the production of reactive species and the intrinsic antioxidant defense. Redox activity of ...
Topologization of Beta-Antimonene on Bi2Se3 Via Proximity Effects
(Nature, 2020-09-03)
Topological surface states usually emerge at the boundary between a topological and a conventional insulator. Their precise physical character and spatial localization depend on the complex interplay between the chemical, ...
Electronic Decoupling of Polyacenes from the Underlying Metal Substrate bysp(3)Carbon Atoms
(Nature, 2020-09-15)
Many organic molecules exhibit interesting electronic and magnetic properties, but as they are deposited onto a metallic substrate, their hybridisation often impacts on the observed characteristics. Here, the authors report ...
