Competition between nucleation and confinement in the crystallization of poly(ethylene glycol)/ large aspect ratio hectorite nanocomposites
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020-06-25)
The overall crystallization kinetics of polymer nanocomposites is determined by nucleation and crystal growth, which are both greatly affected by confinement. Heterogeneous nucleation is influenced by the interphase area ...
e-Distance in Menger PGM Spaces with an Application
(MDPI, 2020-12-30)
The main purpose of the present paper is to define the concept of an e-distance (as a generalization of r-distance) on a Menger PGM space and to introduce some of its properties. Moreover, some coupled fixed point results, ...
Calcium-binding proteins are altered in the cerebellum in schizophrenia
(Public Library Science, 2020-07-08)
Alterations in the cortico-cerebellar-thalamic-cortical circuit might underlie the diversity of symptoms in schizophrenia. However, molecular changes in cerebellar neuronal circuits, part of this network, have not yet been ...
Patterns of Official Development Assistance in Tajikistan: effects on growth and poverty reduction
(Instituto Brasileiro de Relações Internacionais, 2020)
The aim of this paper is to assess the effect of official development assistance on economic growth and poverty reduction in Tajikistan, as well as to examine the recent role of South-South Cooperation. We used a panel ...
Self-Perception of the Digital Competence of Educators during the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Cross-Analysis of Different Educational Stages
(MDPI, 2020-12-04)
The objective of this research is to measure the perception that teachers had about their own performance when they were forced to carry out Emergency Remote Teaching due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A questionnaire was ...
Measurement of the Charm-Mixing Parameter y(CP) in D-0 -> K-S(0)Omega Decays at Belle
(American Physical Society, 2020-10-19)
We report the first measurement of the charm-mixing parameter y(CP) in D-0 decays to the CP-odd final state K-S(0 omega). The study uses the full Belle e(+)e(-) annihilation data sample of 976 fb(-1) taken at or near the ...
An Experimental Investigation of Ultraweak Photon Emission from Adult Murine Neural Stem Cells
(Nature, 2020-01-16)
Neurons like other living cells may have ultraweak photon emission (UPE) during neuronal activity. This study is aimed to evaluate UPE from neural stem cells (NSC) during their serial passaging and differentiation. We also ...
Subsurface chemical nanoidentification by nano-FTIR spectroscopy
(Nature, 2020-07-03)
Nano-FTIR spectroscopy based on Fourier transform infrared near-field spectroscopy allows for label-free chemical nanocharacterization of organic and inorganic composite surfaces. The potential capability for subsurface ...
Cell Motility and Cancer
(MDPI, 2020-08-05)
Cell migration is an essential systemic behavior, tightly regulated, of all living cells endowed with directional motility that is involved in the major developmental stages of all complex organisms such as morphogenesis, ...
Tunable 3D/2D magnetism in the (MnBi2Te4)(Bi2Te3)mtopological insulators family
(Nature, 2020-08-03)
Feasibility of many emergent phenomena that intrinsic magnetic topological insulators (TIs) may host depends crucially on our ability to engineer and efficiently tune their electronic and magnetic structures. Here we report ...
