Quantum cosmology of the Big Rip: Within GR and in a modified theory of gravity
(MDPI, 2017-04-14)
Quantum gravity is the theory that is expected to successfully describe systems that are under strong gravitational effects while at the same time being of an extreme quantum nature. When this principle is applied to the ...
Predictions as a window into learning: Anticipatory fixation offsets carry more information about environmental statistics than reactive stimulus-responses
(Journal of Vision, 2019)
A core question underlying neurobiological and computational models of behavior is how individuals learn environmental statistics and use them to make predictions. Most investigations of this issue have relied on reactive ...
D5 dopamine receptors control glutamatergic AMPA transmission between the motor cortex and subthalamic nucleus
(Nature Publishing, 2018-06-11)
Corticofugal fibers target the subthalamic nucleus (STN), a component nucleus of the basal ganglia, in addition to the striatum, their main input. The cortico-subthalamic, or hyperdirect, pathway, is thought to supplement ...
In-Depth Proteomic Characterization of Classical and Non-Classical Monocyte Subsets
(MDPI, 2018-02-05)
Monocytes are bone marrow-derived leukocytes that are part of the innate immune system. Monocytes are divided into three subsets: classical, intermediate and non-classical, which can be differentiated by their expression ...
Multi-Response Optimization of WEDM Process Parameters for Machining of Superelastic Nitinol Shape-Memory Alloy Using a Heat-Transfer Search Algorithm
(MDPI, 2019-04-18)
Nitinol, a shape-memory alloy (SMA), is gaining popularity for use in various applications. Machining of these SMAs poses a challenge during conventional machining. Henceforth, in the current study, the wire-electric ...
Effects of a physical activity programme to prevent physical performance decline in onco-geriatric patients: a randomized multicentre trial
(Wiley, 2019-04)
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 a ...
Magnetoimpedance in Symmetric and Non-Symmetric Nanostructured Multilayers: A Theoretical Study
(MDPI, 2019-04-12)
Intensive studies of the magnetoimpedance (MI) effect in nanostructured multilayers provide a good phenomenological basis and theoretical description for the symmetric case when top and bottom layers of ferromagnet/condu ...
On-Line Monitoring of Blind Fastener Installation Process
(MDPI, 2019-04-01)
Blind fasteners are of special interest for aircraft construction since they allow working on joints where only one side is accessible, as is the case in many common aerospace box-type structures, such as stabilizers and ...
Promotion of self-nucleation with latent Form I nuclei in polybutene-1 and its copolymer
(American Chemical Society, 2018-08-02)
The formation of Form I nuclei of polybutene-1 (PB-1) and its copolymer with polyethylene (PB1-ran-PE) has been studied by means of modified self-nucleation protocols. Even when the self-nucleation temperature was high ...
Utility of MALDI-TOF MS as a New Tool for Streptococcus Pneumoniae Serotyping
(Public Library Science, 2019-02-12)
Nowadays, more than 95 different Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes are known, being less than one third responsible for the majority of severe pneumococcal infections. After the introduction of conjugate vaccines, a change ...
