Evaluation of Suppressed Mite Reproduction (SMR) Reveals Potential for Varroa Resistance in European Honey Bees (Apis mellifera L.)
(MDPI, 2020-09-03)
In the fight against the Varroa destructor mite, selective breeding of honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) populations that are resistant to the parasitic mite stands as a sustainable solution. Selection initiatives indicate ...
Influence of Butterfly and Gate Valves Upstream Large Water Meters
(MDPI, 2020-09-14)
The research presented was conducted to quantify the effects of butterfly and gate valves located upstream water meters with diameters larger than 50 mm. Errors caused by these valves can have an enormous financial impact ...
KIMERA: A Kinetic Montecarlo Code for Mineral Dissolution
(MDPI, 2020-09-18)
KIMERA is a scientific tool for the study of mineral dissolution. It implements a reversible Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) method to study the time evolution of a dissolving system, obtaining the dissolution rate and information ...
Influence of Structural Defects on the Properties of Metamagnetic Shape Memory Alloys
(MDPI, 2020-08-22)
The production of μ-particles of Metamagnetic Shape Memory Alloys by crushing and subsequent ball milling process has been analyzed. The high energy involved in the milling process induces large internal stresses and high ...
Quality and denoising in real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging neurofeedback: A methods review
(Human Brain Mapping, 2020)
Neurofeedback training using real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging
(rtfMRI-NF) allows subjects voluntary control of localised and distributed brain activity.
It has sparked increased interest as a promising ...
Changes in electrophysiological static and dynamic human brain functional architecture from childhood to late adulthood
(Scientific Reports, 2020)
This magnetoencephalography study aimed at characterizing age-related changes in resting-state functional brain organization from mid-childhood to late adulthood. We investigated neuromagnetic brain activity at rest in 105 ...
Beta-Band Activity Is a Signature of Statistical Learning
(The Journal of Neuroscience, 2020)
Through statistical learning (SL), cognitive systems may discover the underlying regularities in the environment. Testing
human adults (n = 35, 21 females), we document, in the context of a classical visual SL task, ...
Species richness influences the spatial distribution of trees in European forests
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2020)
The functioning of plant communities is strongly influenced by the number of species in the community and their spatial arrangement. This is because plants interact with their nearest neighbors and this interaction is ...
Fresh perspectives for classic forest restoration challenges
(Society for Ecological Restoration, 2020)
Restoration ecology is a young scientific discipline whose limitations can compromise the recovery of ecosystem biodiversity and functions. Specifically for limitations on forest restoration, we first recommend considering ...
Effects of Constant Magnetic Field to the Proliferation Rate of Human Fibroblasts Grown onto Different Substrates: Tissue Culture Polystyrene, Polyacrylamide Hydrogel and Ferrogels γ-Fe2O3 Magnetic Nanoparticles
(MDPI, 2020-08-20)
The static magnetic field was shown to affect the proliferation, adhesion and differentiation of various types of cells, making it a helpful tool for regenerative medicine, though the mechanism of its impact on cells is ...
