Role of grafting on particle morphology and film properties of polyurethane-polyacrylate hybrid dispersions.
(2018-07-19)
Typically, the PU/acrylic hybrid nanoparticle dispersions are prepared in multistep procedure, composed of synthesis of PU in organic solvents, dispersion of PU/solvents into water, solvent removal, addition of acrylic ...
Tetrel Bonds with π-Electrons Acting as Lewis Bases—Theoretical Results and Experimental Evidences
(MDPI, 2018-05-15)
MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ calculations were carried out for the ZFH(3)-B complexes (Z = C, Si, Ge, Sn and Pb; B = C2H2, C2H4, C6H6 and C5H5-; relativistic effects were taken into account for Ge, Sn and Pb elements). These calculations ...
What if gravity becomes really repulsive in the future?
(Springer, 2018-03-24)
The current acceleration of the Universe is one of themost puzzling issues in theoretical physics nowadays. We are far from giving an answer in this letter to the question of its nature. Yet, with the observations we have ...
Quantum entanglement in de Sitter space with a wall and the decoherence of bubble universes
(American Physical Society, 2018-04-30)
We study the effect of a bubble wall on the entanglement entropy of a free massive scalar field between two causally disconnected open charts in de Sitter space. We assume there is a delta-functional wall between the open ...
Autistic traits predict poor integration between top-down contextual expectations and movement kinematics during action observation
(Scientific Reports, 2018)
Autism is associated with difficulties in predicting and understanding other people’s actions. There is evidence that autistic traits are distributed across a spectrum and that subclinical forms of autistic impairments can ...
William Morris's "Praise of My Lady"
(2018-12-05)
William Morris (1834-1896) was probably one of the most influential men in the Victorian Era. A designer, writer, book printer, and a committed Socialist, much of his work helped shape Victorian England and continues, still ...
Embodied Coordination and Psychotherapeutic Outcome: Beyond Direct Mappings
(Frontiers Media, 2018-06-23)
The representation of polysemy in the mental lexicon and its processing
(2018-12-04)
Polysemy, the lexical semantic phenomenon in which a word form has different but related senses, is pervasive in natural languages. Examples of polysemy encompass regular polysemy and idiosyncratic forms, such as paper and ...
Introductory university physics students ’ understanding of some key characteristics of classical theory of the electromagnetic field
(American Physical Society, 2018-11-12)
In this work, we explore how undergraduate students use classical field theory when describing physical phenomena in the context of introductory electromagnetism. We have extracted five key characteristics of the electric ...
Changes in the Serotype Distribution of Streptococcus Pneumoniae Causing Otitis Media After PCV13 Introduction in Spain
(Public Library Science, 2018-12-18)
One of the beneficial effects of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) has been a decrease in the incidence of non-invasive infections, such as otitis media (OM) caused by vaccine serotypes. In this study, we analyzed the ...
