Self-bias and the emotionality of foreign languages
(Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2019)
Foreign language contexts impose a relative psychological and emotional distance in bilinguals. In our previous studies, we demonstrated that the use of a foreign language changes the strength of the seemingly automatic ...
Mechatronic modeling of a parallel kinematics multi-axial simulation table based on decoupling the actuators and manipulator dynamics
(Elsevier, 2016-11-07)
In this work a mechatronic model was developed for a parallel Multi-Axial Simulation Table (MAST) mechanism. The dynamics of the mechanism was obtained using the principle of energy equivalence and Boltzmann–Hamel equations. ...
Mechatronics of a ball screw drive using a N degrees of freedom dynamic model
(Springer, 2017-10)
High performance position control in machine tools can only be achieved modelling the dynamic behavior of the mechatronic system composed by the motor, transmission and control during the design stage. In this work, a ...
New Insights on Arabidopsis thaliana Root Adaption to Ammonium Nutrition by the Use of a Quantitative Proteomic Approach
(MDPI, 2019-02-14)
Nitrogen is an essential element for plant nutrition. Nitrate and ammonium are the two major inorganic nitrogen forms available for plant growth. Plant preference for one or the other form depends on the interplay between ...
Effects of a physical activity programme to prevent physical performance decline in onco‐geriatric patients: a randomized multicentre trial
(2019-03)
BACKGROUND: Older adults with cancer experience negative long-term functional effects of both cancer and treatments. Exercise may minimize their age-related and cancer-related functional decline.
METHODS: We conducted ...
Co-administration of Anti microRNA-124 and -137 Oligonucleotides Prevents Hippocampal Neural Stem Cell Loss Upon Non-convulsive Seizures
(Frontiers Media, 2019-02-19)
Convulsive seizures promote adult hippocampal neurogenesis (AHN) through a transient activation of neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) in the subgranular zone (SGZ) of the dentate gyrus (DG). However, in a significant ...
No “Self” Advantage for Audiovisual Speech Aftereffects
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2019)
Although the default state of the world is that we see and hear other people talking, there is evidence that seeing and hearing ourselves rather than someone else may lead to visual (i.e., lip-read) or auditory “self” ...
Development and Maintenance of the Brain’s Immune Toolkit: Microglia and Non-Parenchymal Brain Macrophages
(Wiley, 2018-06)
Microglia and non-parenchymal macrophages located in the perivascular space, the meninges and the choroid plexus are independent immune populations that play vital roles in brain development, homeostasis, and tissue healing. ...
The C Terminus of the Ribosomal-Associated Protein LrtA Is an Intrinsically Disordered Oligomer
(MDPI, 2018-12-05)
The 191-residue-long LrtA protein of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 is involved in post-stress survival and in stabilizing 70S ribosomal particles. It belongs to the hibernating promoting factor (HPF) family, intervening in ...
Metabolic Effects of Oral Phenelzine Treatment on High-Sucrose-Drinking Mice
(MDPI, 2018-10)
Phenelzine has been suggested to have an antiobesity effect by inhibiting de novo lipogenesis, which led us to investigate the metabolic effects of oral chronic phenelzine treatment in high-sucrose-drinking mice. ...
