Strategies for Solving Addition Problems Using Modified Schema-Based Instruction in Students with Intellectual Disabilities
(MDPI, 2021-07-30)
A study is presented on the strategies employed to solve additive change problems by three students with intellectual disabilities (two of them with autism spectrum disorder). The students followed a program involving ...
A Model for the Magnetoimpedance Effect in Non-Symmetric Nanostructured Multilayered Films with Ferrogel Coverings
(MDPI, 2021-07-29)
Magnetoimpedance (MI) biosensors for the detection of in-tissue incorporated magnetic nanoparticles are a subject of special interest. The possibility of the detection of the ferrogel samples mimicking the natural tissues ...
Ascertaining the initiation of epidemic resurgences: an application to the COVID-19 second surges in Europe and the Northeast United States
(The Royal Society, 2021-10-06)
[EN]Assessing a potential resurgence of an epidemic outbreak with certainty is as important as it is challenging. The low number of infectious individuals after a long regression, and the randomness associated with it, ...
Preclinical characterization of antagomiR-218 as a potential treatment for myotonic dystrophy
(Elsevier, 2021-12-03)
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a rare neuromuscular disease caused by expansion of unstable CTG repeats in a non-coding region of the DMPK gene. CUG expansions in mutant DMPK transcripts sequester MBNL1 proteins in ...
Mixed methods study protocol to explore acculturation, lifestyles and health of immigrants from the Community of Portuguese-Speaking Countries in two Iberian contexts: how to face uncertainties amidst the COVID-19 pandemic
(BMJ, 2021)
Introduction Studies which focus on the process of acculturation in the lifestyles, nutritional status and health of immigrants from the Community of Portuguese-Speaking Countries (CPLP) in the Iberian Peninsula are still ...
The ferroelectric photo ground state of SrTiO3: Cavity materials engineering
(National Academy of Sciences, 2021-08-03)
Optical cavities confine light on a small region in space, which can result in a strong coupling of light with materials inside the cavity. This gives rise to new states where quantum fluctuations of light and matter can ...
Residual alignment and its effect on weld strength in material-extrusion 3D-printing of polylactic acid
(Elsevier B.V, 2020-06-30)
Gaining a molecular understanding of material extrusion (MatEx) 3D printing is crucial to predicting and
controlling part properties. Here we report the direct observation of distinct birefringence localised to the ...
Significance of Simple Steatosis: An Update on the Clinical and Molecular Evidence
(MDPI, 2020-11-11)
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is defined clinicopathologically by the accumulation of lipids in >5% of hepatocytes and the exclusion of secondary causes of fat accumulation. NAFLD encompasses a wide spectrum ...
Grid Frequency and Amplitude Control Using DFIG Wind Turbines in a Smart Grid
(MDPI, 2021-01-11)
Wind-generated energy is a fast-growing source of renewable energy use across the world. A dual-feed induction machine (DFIM) employed in wind generators provides active and reactive, dynamic and static energy support. In ...
On Confinement and Quarantine Concerns on an SEIAR Epidemic Model with Simulated Parameterizations for the COVID-19 Pandemic
(MDPI, 2020-10-07)
This paper firstly studies an SIR (susceptible-infectious-recovered) epidemic model without demography and with no disease mortality under both total and under partial quarantine of the susceptible subpopulation or of both ...
