Amygdala volumes and associations with socio-emotional competencies in preterm youth: cross-sectional and longitudinal data

Elda Fischi Gomez, Vanessa Siffredi, Laura Ioana Gui, Petra Susan Hüppi

Background Socio-emotional difficulties often result from very preterm (VPT) birth. The amygdala's developmental trajectory, including its nuclei, has been recognized as a significant factor in observed difficulties. This study aims to assess the relations ...

Engineering random spin models with atoms in a high-finesse cavity

Jean-Philippe Brantut, Nick Jacob Sauerwein, Tigrane Arthur Cantat Moltrecht

Random spin models play a key role in our understanding of disorder and complex many-body systems. Two all-to-all interacting, disordered models have now been realized using a cavity quantum electrodynamics platform. ...

Rethinking student-teacher relationships in higher education: a multidimensional approach

Roland John Tormey

Student-teacher relationships play an important role in both teacher and student experiences in higher education and have been found to be linked to learning, classroom management, and to student absenteeism. Although historically conceptualised in terms o ...

Are Functional Measures Sufficient to Capture Acceptance? A Qualitative Study on Lower Limb Exoskeleton Use for Older People

Mohamed Bouri

Lower limb exoskeletons (LLE) are robotic devices developed to assist walk. In the field of healthcare, this technology has been available for almost a decade, yet it still faces important acceptance issues. While LLE were first developed for patients with ...

Re-creating Memories of Gulou: Three Temporalities and Emotions

Florence Graezer Bideau

In 2012, a project proposed by local authorities aimed to revitalise, after a century of interruption, the use of Beijing’s Bell and Drum Towers and the social traditions associated with them. As a result, more than 100 households living in 66 traditional ...

Insight into the Growth of Anisotropic CdSe Nanocrystals: Attachment of Intrinsically Different Building Blocks

Martinus Gijs, Virendra Kumar Parashar, Xiaopeng Huang

An in-depth understanding of the growth mechanism of nanocrystals (NCs) is of great significance for shape control of colloidal semiconductor nanostructures. In this study, we elucidate the formation mechanism of anisotropic CdSe NCs by systematically inve ...

Angular-dependent magnetization dynamics of kagome artificial spin ice incorporating topological defects

Dirk Grundler, Vinayak Shantaram Bhat

We report angular-dependent spin-wave spectroscopy on kagome artificial spin ice made of large arrays of interconnected Ni80Fe20 nanobars. Spectra taken in saturated and disordered states exhibit a series of resonances with characteristic in-plane angular ...

Magnetization dynamics of topological defects and the spin solid in a kagome artificial spin ice

Dirk Grundler, Vinayak Shantaram Bhat

We report broadband spin-wave spectroscopy on kagome artificial spin ice (ASI) made of large arrays of interconnected Ni 80 Fe 20 nanobars. Spectra taken in saturated and disordered states exhibit a series of resonances with characteristic magnetic field d ...

Monitoring of strain profile variations in the RC slab of a short span railway bridge

Eugen Brühwiler, Vasileios Grigoriou

A novel monitoring scheme oriented towards the structural examination of reinforced concrete slabs subject to railway traffic action is presented. Monitoring is based on the measurement of the mean axial strain profile variation in the cross-section of the ...

Structural disorder versus chiral magnetism in

Philip Pattison

The crystal structure of a disordered form of Cr1/3NbS2 has been characterized using diffraction and inelastic scattering of synchrotron radiation. In contrast to the previously reported symmetry (P6322), the crystal can be ...

A Perching Mechanism for Flying Robots Using a Fibre-Based Adhesive

Dario Floreano, Adrien Briod, Adam Klaptocz, Ludovic Daler, Metin Sitti

Robots capable of hover flight in constrained indoor environments have many applications, however their range is constrained by the high energetic cost of airborne locomotion. Perching allows flying robots to scan their environment without the need to rema ...

Extracellular matrix in angiogenesis: dynamic structures with translational potential

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell

The vascular network is an integral component of most organs. Beyond assuring an adequate supply of oxygen and nutrients for normal tissue function, vascular structures provide also a critical interface in the balance of tissue homoeostasis and immune func ...

Analyzing 180 degrees turns using an inertial system reveals early signs of progression of Parkinson's disease

Kamiar Aminian, Arash Salarian

Changes in turning are one of the early motor deficiencies in Parkinson's Disease (PD). We have proposed a system based on wearable, inertial sensors and a novel automatic analysis algorithm that can assess 180 degrees turns. Twelve patients in early stage ...

Cyanobacterial Natural Products for the Inhibition of Biofilm Formation and Biofouling

Karl Gademann

Biofouling is defined by the non-specific attachment of biological material (proteins, carbohydrates, prokaryotic cells and higher organisms) to surfaces upon their exposure to any biological fluid. Biofouling is a serious problem in many areas ranging fro ...

Realistic heterointerface model for excitonic states in growth-interrupted GaAs quantum wells

Vincenzo Savona

We present a model for the disorder of the heterointerfaces in GaAs quantum wells including long-range components like monolayer island formation induced by the surface diffusion during the epitaxial growth process. Taking into account both interfaces, a d ...
