Interventional programmes to improve cognition during healthy and pathological ageing: Cortical modulations and evidence for brain plasticity
(Ageing Research Reviews, 2018)
A growing body of evidence suggests that healthy elderly individuals and patients with Alzheimer’s disease retain an important potential for neuroplasticity. This review summarizes studies investigating the modulation of ...
Network dynamics in nanofilled polymers
(Nature Publishing, 2016-04-25)
It is well accepted that adding nanoparticles (NPs) to polymer melts can result in significant property improvements. Here we focus on the causes of mechanical reinforcement and present rheological measurements on favourably ...
Mesophase structure and behaviour in bulk and restricted geometry of a dimeric compound exhibiting a nematic–nematic transition
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016-07-28)
We present structural studies of a dimeric compound composed of a central heptyl spacer linking two mesogens consisting of terphenyl units at which two adjacent fluoro groups are attached to each central ring. The terminal ...
Motility Control of Symbionts and Organelles by the Eukaryotic Cell: The Handling of the Motile Capacity of Individual Parts Forges a Collective Biological Identity
(Frontiers Media, 2019-09-10)
Motility occupies a decisive role in an organism's ability to autonomously interact with its environment. However, collective biological organizations exhibit individual parts, which have temporally or definitively lost ...
Merging Generative Linguistics and Psycholinguistics
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2018)
The Dietary Antioxidant Piceatannol Inhibits Adipogenesis of Human Adipose Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Limits Glucose Transport and Lipogenic Activities in Adipocytes
(MDPI, 2018-07)
Phenolic compounds are among the most investigated herbal remedies, as is especially the case for resveratrol. Many reports have shown its anti-aging properties and the ability to reduce obesity and diabetes induced by ...
Behavior of hyperreflective foci in non- infectious uveitic macular edema, a 12- month follow-up prospective study
(Biomed Central, 2018-07-20)
Background: Hyperreflective foci have been described in OCT imaging of patients with retinal vascular diseases. It has been suggested that they may play a role as a prognostic factor of visual outcomes in these diseases. ...
Entanglement loss in molecular quantum-dot qubits due to interaction with the environment
(IOP Publishing, 2018-05-16)
We study quantum entanglement loss due to environmental interaction in a condensed matter system with a complex geometry relevant to recent proposals for computing with single electrons at the nanoscale. We consider a ...
The Third Quantization: To Tunnel or Not to Tunnel?
(MDPI, 2018-03)
Within the framework of the third quantization, we consider the possibility that an initially recollapsing baby universe can enter a stage of near de Sitter inflation by tunnelling through a Euclidean wormhole that connects ...
Comparing the potential of MEG and EEG to uncover brain tracking of speech temporal envelope
(NeuroImage, 2019)
During connected speech listening, brain activity tracks speech rhythmicity at delta (∼0.5 Hz) and theta (4–8 Hz) frequencies. Here, we compared the potential of magnetoencephalography (MEG) and high-density electroencephalography ...
