Better than native: Tone language experience enhances English lexical stress discrimination in Cantonese-English bilingual listeners
(Cognition, 2019)
While many second language (L2) listeners are known to struggle when discriminating non-native features absent in their first language (L1), no study has reported that L2 listeners perform better than native listeners in ...
Measurements of Isospin Asymmetry and Difference of Direct CP Asymmetries in Inclusive B→Xsγ Decays
(American Physical Society, 2019-02-20)
We report measurements of isospin asymmetry Delta(0-) and difference of direct CP asymmetries Delta A(CP) between charged and neutral B -> X-s gamma decays. This analysis is based on the data sample containing 772 x 10(6)B ...
Disease-Associated SNPs in Inflammation-Related lncRNAs
(Frontiers Media, 2019-03-08)
Immune-mediated diseases, such as celiac disease, type 1 diabetes or multiple sclerosis, are a clinically heterogeneous group of diseases that share many key genetic triggers. Although the pathogenic mechanisms responsible ...
Content of Official Written Information for Women on Breast Cancer Screening in Spain
(Ministerio de Sanidad, Consumo y Bienestar Social, 2018-10-29)
OBJECTIVE: There are several methods to promote informed decision making before undergoing a screening program. This research aimed to analyze the contents of official documents about breast cancer screening programs.
METHODS: ...
Unraveling materials Berry curvature and Chern numbers from real-time evolution of Bloch states
(Natlacad Sciences, 2019-03-05)
Materials can be classified by the topological character of their electronic structure and, in this perspective, global attributes immune to local deformations have been discussed in terms of Berry curvature and Chern ...
Correlation between Grafting Density and Confined Crystallization Behavior of Polyethylene Glycol Grafted to Silica
(American Chemical Society, 2019-02-06)
The interfacial interactions of polymer-nanoparticles have dramatical effects on the crystallization behavior of grafted polymers. In this study, methoxy polyethylene glycol (MPEG) (molecular weights 750, 2000 and 4000 g ...
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Subtypes. Transitions over Time
(Public Library Science, 2016-09-09)
Background
Although subtypes of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are recognized, it is unknown what happens to these subtypes over time. Our objectives were to assess the stability of cluster-based subtypes in ...
Cardiac afferent activity modulates early neural signature of error detection during skilled performance
(NeuroImage, 2019)
Behavioral adaptations during performance rely on predicting and evaluating the consequences of our actions through action monitoring. Previous studies revealed
that proprioceptive and exteroceptive signals contribute to ...
Separate lanes for adding and reading in the white matter highways of the human brain
(Nature Communications, 2019)
Math and reading involve distributed brain networks and have both shared (e.g. encoding of
visual stimuli) and dissociated (e.g. quantity processing) cognitive components. Yet, to date,
the shared vs. dissociated gray ...
Evaluation of 10 AMD Associated Polymorphisms as a Cause of Choroidal Neovascularization in Highly Myopic Eyes
(Public Library Science, 2016-09-19)
Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) commonly occurs in age related macular degeneration and pathological myopia patients. In this study we conducted a case-control prospective study including 431 participants. The aim of ...
