Predictive language processing: integrating comprehension and production, and what atypical populations can tell us
(Frontiers, 2024)
Predictive processing, a crucial aspect of human cognition, is also relevant for language comprehension. In everyday situations, we exploit various sources of information to anticipate and therefore facilitate processing ...
Beyond words: an investigation of fine motor skills and the verbal communication spectrum in autism
(Frontiers, 2024)
Introduction: This study investigated the associations between fine motor skills and expressive verbal abilities in a group of 97 autistic participants (age 8-17, mean=12.41) and 46 typically developing youth (age 8-17, ...
Deadwood density, C stocks and their controlling factors in a beech-silver fir mixed virgin European forest
(Forest Ecology and Management, 2023-07-01)
Deadwood is a fundamental structural and functional component of forests, with a crucial role in supporting forest biodiversity, nutrient and carbon cycling. Precise deadwood density estimates and its relation to environmental ...
Cognitive reserve counteracts typical neural activity changes related to ageing
(ELSEVIER, 2023)
Studies have shown that older adults with high Cognitive Reserve (HCR) exhibit better executive functioning than their low CR (LCR) counterparts. However, the neural processes linked to those differences are unclear. This ...
Pupillometry reveals differences in cognitive demands of listening to face mask-attenuated speech
(ASA, 2023)
Face masks offer essential protection but also interfere with speech communication. Here, audio-only sentences spoken through four types of masks were presented in noise to young adult listeners. Pupil dilation (an index ...
Optimal design and operation of distributed electrical generation for Italian positive energy districts with biomass district heating
(Elsevier, 2022-07-06)
[EN] The active participation of prosumers within the energy generation and distribution stages has revolutionized the energy market favoring the rise of decentralized energy supply configurations and representing a key ...
Translanguaging interventions and the construction of the multilingual self through culturally sustaining pedagogies
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2023-01-06)
In this study, we analyse how multilingual students portray themselves, what attitudes do they hold regarding translanguaging pedagogies and how these pedagogies may or not, in reverse, be related to students’ own self-concept ...
Sizing a Battery Energy Storage System for Hybrid Renewable Power Plants Based on Optimal Market Participation Under Different Market Scenarios
(IEEE, 2022-07-08)
This article presents a method for selecting
the best battery sizing based on an optimal market
participation strategy in a hybrid renewable power
plant. The proposed formulation consid-ers different
scenarios to ensure ...
Reversible optical storage properties of nanostructured epoxy-based thermosets modified with azobenzene units
(ACS, 2011-11-22)
Azo-containing polymers are of particular interest in the design of materials for applications in optical recording. The aim of this contribution was the synthesis and characterization of optically active epoxy-based ...
Searching Materials Space for Hydride Superconductors at Ambient Pressure
(Wiley, 2024-06-19)
A machine-learning-assisted approach is employed to search for superconducting hydrides under ambient pressure within an extensive dataset comprising over 150 000 compounds. The investigation yields ≈50 systems with ...
