Statistical accuracy for estimations of large wood blockage in a reservoir environment

Anton Schleiss, Michael Pfister, Paloma Furlan, José Pedro Gamito de Saldanha Calado Matos

The blockage of weirs or bridges by in-stream wood can reduce the flood discharge capacity, leading to hazardous situations. To assess the related risk, blocking probabilities quantifications are needed. However, large wood has a random behaviour and it is ...

Peptides stimulating synthesis of extracellular matrix used in anti-ageing cosmetics: Are they clinically tested? A systematic review of the literature

Florentino Luciano Caetano Dos Santos

Peptides stimulating synthesis of extracellular matrix are now commonly used in the production of anti-ageing cosmetics. However, much uncertainty still exists about the methodology of their clinical assessment. The aim of the study was to review the liter ...

Neurotechnology-aided interventions for upper limb motor rehabilitation in severe chronic stroke

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Silvestro Micera, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Martina Coscia, John Donoghue

Upper limb motor deficits in severe stroke survivors often remain unresolved over extended time periods. Novel neurotechnologies have the potential to significantly support upper limb motor restoration in severely impaired stroke individuals. Here, we revi ...

Brain-computer interfaces for post-stroke motor rehabilitation: a meta-analysis

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Gangadhar Garipelli

Brain‐computer interfaces (BCIs) can provide sensory feedback of ongoing brain oscillations, enabling stroke survivors to modulate their sensorimotor rhythms purposefully. A number of recent clinical studies indicate that repeated use of such BCIs might tr ...

Genome-wide association study of virologic response with efavirenz-containing or abacavir-containing regimens in AIDS clinical trials group protocols

Paul Jack Mc Laren

Background Efavirenz and abacavir are components of recommended first-line regimens for HIV-1 infection. We used genome-wide genotyping and clinical data to explore genetic associations with virologic failure among patients randomized to efavirenz-containi ...

Competing states in the SU(3) Heisenberg model on the honeycomb lattice: Plaquette valence-bond crystal versus dimerized color-ordered state

Frédéric Mila, Karlo Penc, Miklos Lajko

Conflicting predictions have been made for the ground state of the SU(3) Heisenberg model on the honeycomb lattice: Tensor network simulations found a plaquette order [Zhao et al., Phys. Rev. B 85, 134416 (2012)], where singlets are formed on hexagons, whi ...

Tensor network study of the Shastry-Sutherland model in zero magnetic field

Frédéric Mila

We simulate the Shastry-Sutherland model in two dimensions by means of infinite projected entangled-pair states (iPEPS)-a variational tensor network method where the accuracy can be systematically controlled by the so-called bond dimension. Besides the wel ...

Imaging the cellular uptake of tiopronin-modified gold nanoparticles

Giorgio Margaritondo

Well-dispersed gold nanoparticles (NP) coated with tiopronin were synthesized by X-ray irradiation without reducing agents. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy shows that the average core diameters of the NPs can be systematically controlled b ...
