Two-Stage Multi-Objective Meta-Heuristics for Environmental and Cost-Optimal Energy Refurbishment at District Level
(MDPI, 2019-03-01)
Energy efficiency and environmental performance optimization at the district level are following an upward trend mostly triggered by minimizing the Global Warming Potential (GWP) to 20% by 2020 and 40% by 2030 settled by ...
APP depletion alters selective pre- and post-synaptic proteins
(Elsevier, 2019-03)
The normal role of Alzheimer's disease (AD)-linked amyloid precursor protein (APP) in the brain remains incompletely understood. Previous studies have reported that lack of APP has detrimental effects on spines and ...
Are Sensory-Motor Relationships Encoded ad hoc or by Default?: An ERP Study
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2019)
In this event-related potentials study we tested whether sensory-motor relations
between concrete words are encoded by default or only under explicit ad hoc
instructions. In Exp. 1, participants were explicitly asked to ...
Research PaperMagma chamber growth models in the upper crust: A review of thehydraulic and inertial constraints
(China University of Geosciences, 2019-05)
Finite volumes of magma moving in confinement, store hydraulic potential energy for the generation, control and transmission of power. The Pascal's principle in a hydraulic jack arrangement is used to model the vertical ...
Observation of Xi(1620)(0) and Evidence for Xi(1690)(0) in Xi(+)(c) -> Xi(-) pi(+) pi(+) Decays
(American Physical Society, 2019-02-21)
We report the first observation of the double strange baryon Xi(1620)(0) in its decay to Xi(-) pi(+) via Xi(+)(c) -> Xi(-)pi(+)pi(+) decays based on a 980 fb(-1) data sample collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB ...
Altered neocortical tactile but preserved auditory early change detection responses in Friedreich ataxia
(Clinical Neurophysiology, 2019)
Objective: To study using magnetoencephalography (MEG) the spatio-temporal dynamics of neocortical
responses involved in sensory processing and early change detection in Friedreich ataxia (FRDA).
Methods: Tactile (TERs) ...
Assessing the Role of the Left Dorsal Frontal Cortex in Working Memory Guidance: Attentional or Mnemonic? A Neurostimulation Study
(Neuroscience, 2019)
Perceptual selection can be guided by the contents of working memory (WM). Neuroimaging and neuropsychological data point to a role of a fronto-parietal and fronto-thalamic networks in WM guidance. Here we assessed the ...
Behavioural and electrophysiological modulations induced by transcranial direct current stimulation in healthy elderly and Alzheimer’s disease patients: A pilot study
(Clinical Neurophysiology, 2019)
Objective
To investigate whether anodal and cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can modify cognitive performance and neural activity in healthy elderly and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients.
Metho ...
Spinal cord injury induces astroglial conversion towards neuronal lineage
(Biomed Central, 2016-10-06)
Background: Neurons have intrinsic capability to regenerate after lesion, though not spontaneously. Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes permanent neurological impairments partly due to formation of a glial scar that is composed ...
Deaf readers benefit from lexical feedback during orthographic processing
(Scientific Reports, 2019)
It has been proposed that poor reading abilities in deaf readers might be related to weak connections between the orthographic and lexical-semantic levels of processing. Here we used event related potentials (ERPs), known ...
