Pre-Inflation From The Multiverse: Can It Solve The Quadrupole Problem In The Cosmic Microwave Background?
(Springer, 2018-03-21)
We analyze a quantized toy model of a universe undergoing eternal inflation using a quantum-field-theoretical formulation of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation. This so-called third quantization method leads to the picture that ...
One-Pot Synthesis of Waterborne Polymeric Dispersions Stabilized with Alkali-Soluble Resins
(MDPI, 2018-01)
Alkali-soluble resins (ASRs) are a type of electrosteric emulsifiers of high interest because they can profitably improve the features of waterborne dispersions. In this work, they have been synthesized in-situ through a ...
A probabilistic atlas of the human thalamic nuclei combining ex vivo MRI and histology
(NeuroImage, 2018)
The human thalamus is a brain structure that comprises numerous, highly specific nuclei. Since these nuclei are known to have different functions and to be connected to different areas of the cerebral cortex, it is of great ...
Classification of Overt and Covert Speech for Near-Infrared Spectroscopy-Based Brain Computer Interface
(Sensors, 2018)
People suffering from neuromuscular disorders such as locked-in syndrome (LIS)
are left in a paralyzed state with preserved awareness and cognition. In this study, it was
hypothesized that changes in local hemodynamic ...
Study of the Genetic Etiology of Primary Ovarian Insufficiency: FMR1 Gene
(MDPI, 2016-12-13)
Menopause is a period of women's life characterized by the cessation of menses in a definitive way. The mean age for menopause is approximately 51 years. Primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) refers to ovarian dysfunction ...
Poly(α-hydroxy Acids)-Based Cell Microcarriers
(MDPI, 2016-12-16)
Biodegradable poly(alpha-hydroxyacids) have gained increasing interest in the biomedical field for their use as cell microcarriers thanks to their biodegradability, biocompatibility, tunable mechanical properties/degradation ...
Framework for the establishment of a feasible, tailored and effective perinatal education programme
(Biomed Central, 2017-02-08)
Background: Antenatal education needs to be renewed and adapted to the needs of women.
Objectives: to assess women needs, identify factors that influence the desired outcomes, and propose a framework for developing new ...
On linguistic properties of verbal number systems: A cross-linguistic study of number transcoding errors observed in a Basque--French bilingual patient with aphasia
(Lingua, 2018)
Theories that plantation creoles were all born as pidgins at West African coast slave castles, including that proposed in McWhorter (2000), have not fared well among creolists, amidst a preference for supposing that creoles ...
Proper Name Retrieval And Structural Integrity Of Cerebral Cortex In Midlife: A Cross-Sectional Study
(Elsevier, 2018-02)
There is currently little understanding on whether retrieval of proper names differs in midlife compared to young adulthood and if so, whether the age differences in this ability are associated with differences in structural ...
Working Memory Deficits After Lesions Involving the Supplementary Motor Area.
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2018)
The Supplementary Motor Area (SMA)—located in the superior and medial aspects of
the superior frontal gyrus—is a preferential site of certain brain tumors and arteriovenous
malformations, which often provoke the so-called ...
