Interactionism, Post-Interactionism, and Causal Complexity: Lessons From the Philosophy of Causation
(Frontiers Media, 2021-03-30)
In biology and philosophy of biology, discussing the notion of interaction leads to an examination of interactionism, which is, broadly speaking, the view that rejects gene-centrism and gene determinism and instead emphasizes ...
Evidence for a Spin Acoustic Surface Plasmon from Inelastic Atom Scattering
(Nature, 2021-01-15)
Closed-shell atoms scattered from a metal surface exchange energy and momentum with surface phonons mostly via the interposed surface valence electrons, i.e., via the creation of virtual electron-hole pairs. The latter can ...
Allometric biomass models for european beech and silver fir: Testing approaches to minimize the demand for site-specific biomass observations
(Forests, 2020)
In this paper, site-specific allometric biomass models were developed for European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) and silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) to estimate the aboveground biomass in Sinca virgin forest, Romania. Several ...
Effect of Land Use/Cover Changes on Urban Cool Island Phenomenon in Seville, Spain
(MDPI, 2020-06-12)
This paper analyses Seville’s surface urban heat island (SUHI) phenomenon, comparing spatial and temporal patterns of land surface temperature (LST) during July 1987, 2000 and 2017. Landsat data captured throughout three ...
Influence of Angulation in Cervical Prosthetic Emergences Relative to the Gingival Tissue of Teeth Treated under the Biologically Oriented Preparation Technique (BOPT)
(MDPI, 2020-06-15)
Background: The objective of this study was to digitally evaluate the effect of the cervical emergence of restorations in terms of gingival tissue volume. Materials and methods: In this study, 31 upper front teeth (from ...
Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy Study of Biobased Poly(alkylene 2,5-furanoate)s’ Molecular Dynamics
(MDPI, 2020-06-16)
Abstract
Poly(2,5-alkylene furanoate)s are bio-based, smart, and innovative polymers that are considered the most promising materials to replace oil-based plastics. These polymers can be synthesized using ecofriendly ...
Optimal Perturbation Iteration Method for Solving Fractional Model of Damped Burgers’ Equation
(MDPI, 2020-06-04)
The newly constructed optimal perturbation iteration procedure with Laplace transform is applied to obtain the new approximate semi-analytical solutions of the fractional type of damped Burgers’ equation. The classical ...
Sample collection/stabilization and DNA/RNA extraction from swab samples for microbiome or metagenome analyses
(Future Science, 2021-09-17)
Good preservation and storage are essential to preserving microorganisms’ genetic material in microbial.
Redox-active Ionic-Electronic Conducting Polymers for Batteries
(2021-11-23)
[EN] High demand for consumer electronics combined with the need to substitute fossil fuels and migrate to a cleaner energy matrix make imperative the research for sustainable and efficient energy storage systems. Nowadays ...
Development of the visual white matter pathways mediates development of electrophysiological responses in visual cortex
(Human Brain Mapping, 2021)
The latency of neural responses in the visual cortex changes systematically across
the lifespan. Here, we test the hypothesis that development of visual white matter
pathways mediates maturational changes in the latency ...
