The impact of foreign accent on irony interpretation
(PLoS ONE, 2018)
In modern multi-cultural societies, conversations between foreign speakers and native listeners have become very common. These exchanges often include the use of figurative language. The present study examines, for the ...
The 2018 biomembrane curvature and remodeling roadmap
(IOP Publishing, 2018-08-30)
The importance of curvature as a structural feature of biological membranes has been recognized for many years and has fascinated scientists from a wide range of different backgrounds. On the one hand, changes in membrane ...
Three-forms, dualities and membranes in four-dimensional supergravity
(Springer, 2018-07-04)
We consider four-dimensional N = 1 supergravity models of a kind appearing in string flux compactifications. It has been recently shown that, by using double three-form multiplets instead of ordinary chiral multiplets, one ...
Streptococcus pneumoniae , an unusual cause of early- onset neonatal sepsis and necrotizing pneumonia
(Wiley VCH, 2018-08)
Key Clinical Message Vertically transmitted sepsis due to Streptococcus pneumoniae has a low incidence, and vaginal colonization among pregnant women is exceptional. Necrotizing pneumonia is uncommon in immunocompetent ...
Flexible Biocomposites with Enhanced Interfacial Compatibility Based on Keratin Fibers and Sulfur-Containing Poly(urea-urethane)s
(MDPI, 2018-09-21)
Feathers are made of keratin, a fibrous protein with high content of disulfide-crosslinks
and hydrogen-bonds. Feathers have been mainly used as reinforcing fiber in the preparation of
biocomposites with a wide variety ...
Review on Microfluidic Paper-based Analytical Devices towards Commercialisation
(Elsevier, 2017-11-11)
Paper-based analytical devices introduce an innovative platform technology for fluid handling andanalysis, with wide range of applications, promoting low cost, ease of fabrication/operation and equipment independence. This ...
Light-responsive Materials for Microfluidic Applications
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018-03-07)
While the microfluidic device itself may be small, often the equipment required to control fluidics in thechip unit is large e.g. pumps, valves and mixing units, which can severely limit practical use and functionalscalability. ...
Manipulation of Fluid Flow Direction in Microfluidic Paper-Based Analytical Devices with an Ionogel Negative Passive Pump
(Elsevier, 2017-03-06)
Microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (microPADs) are a relatively new group of analytical tools thatrepresent an innovative low-cost platform technology for fluid handling and analysis. Nonetheless, microPADs lack ...
Reusable Ionogel-based Photo-actuators in a Lab-on-a-disc
(Elsevier, 2017-11-04)
This paper describes the design, fabrication and performance of a reusable ionogel-based photo-actuator, in-situ photopolymerised into a lab-on-a-disc microfluidic device, for flow control. The ionogel provides an effective ...
Evaluación del continuo deportividad-violencia en el fútbol base
(Universitat de les Illes Balears, 2019)
[ES] Dada la trascendencia que tiene en nuestra sociedad el deporte, en especial el fútbol desde edades muy tempranas, se hace
necesario que los gestores de las competiciones dispongan de herramientas que permitan evaluar ...
