Long-term effectiveness of sustainable land management practices to control runoff, soil erosion, and nutrient loss and the role of rainfall intensity in Mediterranean rainfed agroecosystems
(Elsevier, 2020)
Mediterranean environments are especially susceptible to soil erosion and to inappropriate soil management, leading to accelerated soil loss. Sustainable Land Management (SLM) practices (such as reduced tillage, no-tillage, ...
Exposure to green areas: Modelling health benefits in a context of study heterogeneity
(Elsevier, 2020)
Although the beneficial health effects of green areas are gaining recognition, epidemiological studies show mixed results with significance varying considerably by study and context, indicating that there is no unique and ...
Neural bases of learning and recognition of statistical regularities
(Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2020)
Statistical learning is a set of cognitive mechanisms allowing for extracting regularities from the environment and
segmenting continuous sensory input into discrete units. The current study used functional magnetic ...
Measurement of R(D) and R(D∗) with a Semileptonic Tagging Method
(American Physical Society, 2020-04-24)
The experimental results on the ratios of branching fractions R(D) = B((B) over bar -> D tau(-)(nu) over bar (tau))/B((B) over bar -> Dl(-)(nu) over bar (e)) and R(D*) = B((B) over bar -> D*tau(-)(nu) over bar (tau))/B((B) ...
Manipulating the fluorescence lifetime at the sub-cellular scale via photo-switchable barcoding
(Nature, 2020-05-18)
Fluorescent barcoding is a pivotal technique for the investigation of the microscale world, from information storage to the monitoring of dynamic biochemical processes. Using fluorescence lifetime as the readout modality ...
Zooming in on zooming out: Partial selectivity and dynamic tuning of bilingual language control during reading
(Cognition, 2020)
Prominent models of bilingual visual word recognition posit a bottom-up nonselective view of lexical processing
with parallel access to lexical candidates of both languages. However, these accounts do not accommodate
recent ...
Reward sensitivity predicts dopaminergic response in spatial neglect
(Cortex, 2020)
It has recently been revealed that spatial neglect can be modulated by motivational factors
including anticipated monetary reward. A number of dopaminergic agents have been
evaluated as treatments for neglect, but the ...
Abnormal pattern of brain glucose metabolism in Parkinson’s disease: replication in three European cohorts
(European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, 2020)
Rationale
In Parkinson’s disease (PD), spatial covariance analysis of 18F-FDG PET data has consistently revealed a characteristic PD-related brain pattern (PDRP). By quantifying PDRP expression on a scan-by-scan basis, ...
A deep intronic splice variant advises reexamination of presumably dominant SPG7 Cases
(Wiley, 2020-01)
Objective To identify causative mutations in a patient affected by ataxia and spastic paraplegia. Methods Whole-exome sequencing (WES) and whole-genome sequencing (WGS) were performed using patient's DNA sample. RT-PCR and ...
Education for Agenda 2030: What Direction do We Want to Take Going Forward?
(MDPI, 2020-03-06)
In the field of education, the concept of environment and sustainable education, and the use of some terms in this field, have developed since their beginning. The United Nations Agenda 2030 of the Sustainable Development ...
