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 ...

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. ...
Photoswitchable Layer-by-layer Coatings Based on Photochromic Polynorbornenes Bearing Spiropyran Side Groups
(American Chemical Society, 2018-04-10)
Micro-capillaries, capable of light-regulated binding and qualitative detection of divalent metal ions in continuous flow, have been realised through functionalisation with spiropyran photochromic brush-type coatings. Upon ...
Sound changes that lead to seeing longer-lasting shapes
(Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2018)
To survive, people must construct an accurate representation of the world around them. There is a body of research on visual
scene analysis, and a largely separate literature on auditory scene analysis. The current study ...
Event-Related Potentials Reveal Altered Executive Control Activity in Healthy Elderly With Subjective Memory Complaints
(Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2018)
Several studies reported that healthy elderly with subjective memory complaints (SMC) evolve to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) more frequently than elderly without subjective memory decline. In the present study, we investigated ...
