Highly Sensitive Multicore Fiber Accelerometer for Low Frequency Vibration Sensing
(Nature, 2020-09-30)
We report on a compact, highly sensitive all-fiber accelerometer suitable for low frequency and low amplitude vibration sensing. The sensing elements in the device are two short segments of strongly coupled asymmetric ...
Quantum anharmonic enhancement of superconductivity in P63/mmc ScH6 at high pressures: A first-principles study
(AIP Publishing, 2021-11-05)
Making use of first-principles calculations, we analyze the effect of quantum ionic fluctuations and lattice anharmonicity on the crystal structure and superconductivity of P63/mmc ScH6 in the 100–160 GPa pressure range ...
Electrical Percolation in Extrinsically Conducting, Poly(εpsilon-Decalactone) Composite Neural Interface Materials
(Nature, 2021-01-14)
By providing a bidirectional communication channel between neural tissues and a biomedical device, it is envisaged that neural interfaces will be fundamental in the future diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders. ...
Large Volume Self-powered Disposable Microfluidics by the Integration of Modular Polymer Micropumps with Plastic Microfluidic Cartridges
(ACS, 2020-12-10)
Microfluidic microsystems are often designed to analyse samples of small volume of fluid, however, some applications require the analysis of larger volumes. The ideal miniaturized microfluidic analytical device should be ...
Catalysts for Syngas Production
(MDPI, 2020-01-20)
Synthesis gas (or syngas) is a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide, that may be obtained from alternative sources to oil, such as natural gas, coal, biomass, organic wastes, etc [...]
Accuracy of Healthcare Providers' Perception of Chest Compression Depth and Chest Recoil
(MRE Press, 2020-06)
Objective: The objective of this paper was to evaluate the validity and accuracy of healthcare providers' perception of chest compression depth and chest recoil during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Methods: A clinical ...
Insights into the dynamic trajectories of protein filament division revealed by numerical investigation into the mathematical model of pure fragmentation
(Public Library Of Science, 2021-09-03)
The dynamics by which polymeric protein filaments divide in the presence of negligible growth, for example due to the depletion of free monomeric precursors, can be described by the universal mathematical equations of 'pure ...
Foliar heavy metals and stable isotope (delta C-13, delta N-15) profiles as reliable urban pollution biomonitoring tools
(Elsevier, 2021-01)
Anthropogenic heavy metal pollution is an important health issue in urban areas, and therefore rapid and inexpensive monitoring in time and space is desirable. This study aimed (i) to assess the suitability of Tilia cordata ...
An Overview of Adipose Tissue ACE2 Modulation by Diet and Obesity. Potential Implications in COVID-19 Infection and Severity
(MDPI, 2021-07-26)
The present review is aimed at analysing the current evidence concerning the potential modulation of obesity and/or diet in adipose tissue ACE2. Additionally, the potential implications of these effects on COVID-19 are ...
Fabrication Quality Assessment Based on the Coupling of a Dual-Core Microstructured Polymer Optical Fiber
(MDPI, 2021-11-09)
In this paper we report on the theoretical analysis and fabrication of a dual-core microstructured polymer optical fiber (mPOF) and demonstrate how the coupling characteristics of a dual-core mPOF may be a key factor to ...
