Modification of a Shockley-Type Surface State on Pt(111) upon Deposition of Gold Thin Layers
(MDPI, 2018-12-17)
We present a first-principles fully-relativistic study of surface and interface states in the n one monolayer (ML) Au/Pt(111) heterostructures. The modification of an unoccupied s - p -type surface state existing on a ...
High- fi delity non-adiabatic cutting and stitching of a spin chain via local control
(IOP Publishing, 2018-10-18)
We propose and analyze, focusing on non-adiabatic effects, a technique of manipulating quantum spin systems based on local 'cutting' and 'stitching' of the Heisenberg exchange coupling between the spins. This first operation ...
Ald processes development for hybrid nanodevices-like nanostructures
(2017-09-12)
The development of new and innovative atomic structures displaying multifunctional properties goes together with progress in advanced processes which enable atomic level control. One leading deposition technique is Atomic ...
Neural substrates of subphonemic variation and lexical competition in spoken word recognition
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2019)
In spoken word recognition, subphonemic variation influences lexical activation, with sounds near a category boundary increasing phonetic competition as well as lexical competition. The current study investigated the ...
How much do visual cues help listeners in perceiving accented speech?
(Applied Psycholinguistics, 2019)
It has been documented that lipreading facilitates the understanding of difficult speech, such as noisy speech and time-compressed speech. However, relatively little work has addressed the role of visual information in ...
Does letter rotation slow down orthographic processing in word recognition?
(Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2018)
Leading neural models of visual word recognition assume that letter rotation slows down the conversion of the visual input to a stable orthographic representation (e.g., local detectors combination model; Dehaene, Cohen, ...
A new index of semantic short-term memory: Development and validation of the conceptual span task in Spanish
(Public Library Science, 2018-12-27)
Mounting evidence from both cognitive and neuropsychological research points to the importance of conceptual and lexical-semantic contributors to short-term memory performance. Nonetheless, a standardized and well-controlled ...
The metabolic regimes of 356 rivers in the United States
(Nature Publishing, 2018-12-11)
A national-scale quantification of metabolic energy flow in streams and rivers can improve understanding of the temporal dynamics of in-stream activity, links between energy cycling and ecosystem services, and the effects ...
Hesperidin and Capsaicin, But Not The Combination, Prevent Hepatic Steatosis and Other Metabolic Syndrome-Related Alterations in Western Diet-Fed Rats
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018-10-10)
We aimed to assess the potential effects of hesperidin and capsaicin, independently and in combination, to prevent the development of obesity and its related metabolic alterations in rats fed an obesogenic diet. Three-month-old ...
Influence of PLA Filament Conditions on Characteristics of FDM Parts
(MDPI, 2018-08)
Additive manufacturing technologies play an important role in Industry 4.0. One of the most prevalent processes is fused deposition modelling (FDM) due to its versatility and low cost. However, there is still a lack of ...
