Variability of the Motor Behavior during Continued Practice of the Same Motor Game: A Preliminary Study
(MDPI, 2020-11-22)
Motor behavior assessment during games could help physical education teachers and team coaches to design effective and efficient motor interventions. This study aimed to assess the variability of the physical and behavioral ...
The neurocognitive underpinnings of the Simon effect: An integrative review of current research
(Cognitive, Affective, & Behavioral Neuroscience, 2020)
For as long as half a century the Simon task – in which participants respond to a nonspatial stimulus feature while ignoring its position – has represented a very popular tool to study a variety of cognitive functions, ...
Prokaryotic Capability to Use Organic Substrates Across the Global Tropical and Subtropical Ocean
(Frontiers Media, 2020)
Prokaryotes play a fundamental role in decomposing organic matter in the ocean, but little is known about how microbial metabolic capabilities vary at the global ocean scale and what are the drivers causing this variation. ...
Electroweak strings with dark scalar condensates and their stability
(American Physical Society, 2020-07-06)
[EN] The stability of “visible” electroweak-type cosmic strings is investigated in an extension of the Standard
Model by a minimal dark sector, consisting of a Uð1Þ gauge field, broken spontaneously by a scalar. The
visible ...
Hepatokines and adipokines in NASH-related hepatocellular carcinoma
(Elsevier, 2020-11-05)
Summary
The incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is increasing in industrialised societies; this is likely
secondary to the increasing burden of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), its progressive form ...
Klein paradox for bosons, wave packets and negative tunnelling times
(Nature, 2020-11-05)
We analyse a little known aspect of the Klein paradox. A Klein-Gordon boson appears to be able to cross a supercritical rectangular barrier without being reflected, while spending there a negative amount of time. The ...
Nanofocusing of acoustic graphene plasmon polaritons for enhancing mid-infrared molecular fingerprints
(De Gruyter, 2020)
Mid-infrared (mid-IR) optical spectroscopy of molecules is of large interest in physics, chemistry, and biology. However, probing nanometric volumes of molecules is challenging because of the strong mismatch of their ...
Toward Supramolecular Nanozymes for the Photocatalytic Activation of Pt(IV) Anticancer Prodrugs
(Royal Society Of Chemistry, 2020-09-16)
A supramolecular nanozyme for the photocatalytic conversion of a Pt(IV) anticancer complex to cisplatin is described herein. We employed 1.9 nm Au nanoparticles decorated with thiol ligands bearing a TACN (1,4,7-triazacyclononane) ...
The effects of contextual diversity on incidental vocabulary learning in the native and a foreign language
(Scientific Reports, 2020)
Vocabulary learning occurs throughout the lifespan, often implicitly. For foreign language learners, this is particularly challenging as they must acquire a large number of new words with little exposure. In the present ...
Dermic-derived fibroblasts for the study of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
(Wolters Kluwer - Medknow, 2020-11)
