Adaptive coatings based on polyaniline for direct 2D observation of diffusion processes in microfluidic systems
(Elsevier, 2016-08)
[EN] Therefore the understanding and proper evaluation of the flow and mixing behaviour at microscale becomes a very important issue. In this study, the diffusion behaviour of two reacting solutions of HCI and NaOH were ...
Microcantilever arrays functionalised with spiropyran photoactive moieties as systems to measure photo-induced surface stress changes
(Elsevier, 2016-12)
[EN] Herein we investigate the feasibility of detecting photo-induced surface stress changes using the deflection response of cantilevers. For this purpose, silicon microcantilevers have been functionalised with spiropyran ...
Porous self-protonating spiropyran-based NIPAAm gels with improved reswelling kinetics
(Springer, 2016-02)
[EN] This study focuses on improving the speed ofactuation of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-based photoresponsive gels containing copolymerised spiropyran as the photoswitch and acrylic acid as the proton source. The improvement ...
Fluidic flow delay by ionogel passive pumps in microfluidic paper-based analytical devices
(Elsevier, 2016-10-05)
[EN] A new concept for fluid flow manipulation in microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (m-PADs) is presented by introducing ionogel materials as passive pumps. m-PADs were fabricated using a new doubleside contact ...
Nitrogen Source and External Medium pH Interaction Differentially Affects Root and Shoot Metabolism in Arabidopsis
(Frontiers Media, 2016-02-01)
Ammonium nutrition often represents an important growth-limiting stress in plants. Some of the symptoms that plants present under ammonium nutrition have been associated with pH deregulation, in fact external medium pH ...
Is conscious awareness needed for all working memory processes?
(Neuroscience of Consciousness, 2016)
Stein and colleagues argue there is no yet conclusive evidence for nonconscious working memory (WM) and that is critical
to probeWMwhile ensuring null sensitivity to memory cues. While this stringent approach reduces the ...
How and When Does the Second Language Influence the Production of Native Speech Sounds: A Literature Review
(Language Learning, 2016)
In bilinguals and second language learners, the native (L1) and nonnative (L2) languages
coexist and interact. The L1 influences L2 production via forward transfer, as is seen
with foreign accents. However, language ...
The Spanish General Knowledge Norms
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2016)
This study introduces the Spanish adaptation of the General Knowledge Norms first created by Nelson and Narens (1980) and updated by Tauber et al. (2013). Following a procedure akin to that used in preceding studies and ...
Simultaneous Bayesian correction of slab boundary artifacts and bias field for high resolution ex vivo MRI
(IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging (ISBI), 2016)
Multi-slab MRI overcomes some of the hardware limitations of today's clinical scanners (e.g., memory size), enabling the acquisition of ultra-high resolution ex vivo MRI of the whole human brain with high SNR efficiency. ...
Insights from bimodal bilingualism: Reply to commentaries
(Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2016)
The commentaries on our Keynote article “Psycholinguistic, cognitive, and neural implications of bimodal bilingualism” were enthusiastic about what can be learned by studying bilinguals who acquire two languages that are ...
