Regulation of adenylyl cyclase 5 in striatal neurons confers the ability to detect coincident neuromodulatory signals

Ursula Röthlisberger, Siri Camee van Keulen, Daniele Narzi, Paolo Carloni

Author summary Adenylyl cyclases (ACs) are enzymes that can translate extracellular signals into the intracellular molecule cAMP, which is thus a 2nd messenger of extracellular events. The brain expresses nine membrane-bound AC variants, and AC5 is the dom ...

Domain walls and defects in ferroelectric materials

Dragan Damjanovic

The results of recent studies of domain walls and their interaction with defects in BaTiO3, Pb(Zr, Ti)O-3, and BiFeO3 are discussed. The studies reveal why donor- and acceptor-doped Pb(Zr, Ti)O-3 behave differently, what is the role of stationary charged d ...

A Facile in Situ and UV Printing Process for Bioinspired Self-Cleaning Surfaces

Yves Leterrier, Sara Dalle Vacche, Marina Aymara González Lazo, Feyza Karasu Kiliç, Ioannis Katrantzis

A facile in situ and UV printing process was demonstrated to create self-cleaning synthetic replica of natural petals and leaves. The process relied on the spontaneous migration of a fluorinated acrylate surfactant (PFUA) within a low-shrinkage acrylated h ...

Surface trap mediated electronic transport in biofunctionalized silicon nanowires

Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Francesca Puppo, Massimiliano Di Ventra

Silicon nanowires (SiNWs), fabricated via a top-down approach and then functionalized with biological probes, are used for electrically-based sensing of breast tumor markers. The SiNWs, featuring memristive-like behavior in bare conditions, show, in the pr ...

Probability of observable flaw initiation at high cycle fatigue

Eugen Brühwiler, Vasileios Grigoriou

Fatigue evolution during the flaw initiation phase and under high cycle fatigue conditions is described at the level of the representative volume element by the probability that this element fails in a given period of time under given stimulus. This probab ...

Particle-size and -density segregation in granular free-surface flows

Christophe Ancey

When a mixture of particles, which differ in both their size and their density, avalanches downslope, the grains can either segregate into layers or remain mixed, dependent on the balance between particle-size and particle-density segregation. In this pape ...

Direct determination of niobium at the low nanogram level in mineral waters and freshwaters

Michaël Bensimon, Montserrat Filella, David-Julien Magnenat

The increasing use of elements such as Nb and Ta in green and information technologies makes it necessary to develop appropriate analytical methods for studying their environmental and ecotoxicological behaviour. This paper describes the first time Nb has ...
