Dealing with Daily Rhythms: Families’ Strategies to Tackle Chronic Time Pressure

Vincent Kaufmann, Guillaume Simon Joseph Drevon, Philippe Gerber

As suggested by the conservation of resources theory, in contemporary societies time is considered as a limited resource in the same way as money and energy. In the current paper, a novel daily rhythm approach related to motility is presented, in order to ...

The Hidden Complexity of Distributed Systems

Karolos Antoniadis

The field of distributed computing has a long history, of more than fifty years. During that time, our understanding of the field has improved immensely and a certain body of folklore beliefs has formed. However, such folklore beliefs are not necessarily a ...

Genetically Encoded Activators of Small Molecules for Imaging and Drug Delivery

Pablo Rivera Fuentes, Zacharias Thiel, Jade Noémie Nam Nguyen

Chemical biologists have developed many tools based on genetically encoded macromolecules and small, synthetic compounds. The two different approaches are extremely useful, but they have inherent limitations. In this Minireview, we highlight examples of st ...

Anomalous Vp/Vs ratios at seismic frequencies might evidence highly damaged rocks in subduction zones

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Lucas Xan Pimienta

Unusually high compressional (P) to shear (S) wave velocity ratios (V-p/V-s) were measured at different subduction zones and interpreted as fluid-pressurized regions. Because no laboratory data reported such high values in isotropic rocks, mineralogical or ...
