Event-Related Potentials to Facial Expressions Are Related to Stimulus-Level Perceived Arousal and Valence. [PDF]
Impact Statement Differences between ERPs elicited by facial expressions are often interpreted as valence or arousal differences. Yet, no one has empirically tested these theories within subjects. Using robust methods and statistics, we found that participants' stimulus‐level valence and arousal ratings relate to expression effects—largely on the N170 ...

Abstract Aquatic invasive species (AIS) present major ecological and economic challenges globally, endangering ecosystems and human livelihoods. Managers and policy makers thus need tools to predict invasion risk and prioritize species and areas of concern, and they often use native range climate matching to determine whether a species could persist in

Calla Lily flower inspired morphing of flat films to conical tubes
Abstract Recently researchers have developed soft actuators capable of morphing into complex shapes taking inspiration from nature. In this paper, we have developed a splay‐nematic liquid crystal polymer network tapered actuator that can morph from a flat film to a cone, mimicking the blooming of single petal Calla Lily flower. We have demonstrated the

The Design of 4D‐Printed Hygromorphs: State‐of‐the‐Art and Future Challenges
A holistic review and design guidelines for 4D‐printed macroscale composite actuators triggered by humidity, so‐called hygromorphs, are proposed. The review also discusses production‐related parameters, models, measurement techniques, and actuation parameters that characterize state‐of‐the‐art hygromorph actuators.

Abstract Background Officinal plants, minerals, animal derivatives, and miscellaneous have always been used to treat and improve appearance despite the different aesthetic canons of a specific historical and cultural context. Objective The aim of this work was to make a critical comparison between medieval and modern dermocosmetics analyzing the works ...

A component of the Entner–Doudoroff pathway, 2‐keto‐3‐deoxy‐6‐phosphogluconate aldolase, plays a vital role in the virulence of Pectobacterium atrosepticum on potato by controlling expression of genes involved in pectin degradation. Abstract Pectobacterium carotovorum has an incomplete Entner–Doudoroff (ED) pathway, including enzyme 2‐keto‐3‐deoxy‐6 ...

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are amongst the most common bacterial infections globally, with ∼11% of the world’s population contracting at least one infection annually. Several South African plants are used in traditional healing systems to treat UTIs, yet the therapeutic potential of these plants against bacteria that cause UTI remains poorly ...

Pest categorisation of Thrips palmi
Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health (PLH) performed a pest categorisation of Thrips palmi (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), for the EU. T. palmi is listed in Annex IAI of 2000/29 EC. Using molecular methods, cryptic speciation has been shown although no new species from the group have been formally described. Here, we consider T.

The role of colour in object recognition is controversial; in this study, a critical review of previous studies, as well as a longitudinal study, was conducted. We examined whether colour benefits the ability of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients and normal controls (NC) when naming items differing in colour diagnosticity: living things (LT) versus ...

Genome Architecture and Speciation in Plants and Animals
ABSTRACT There have been numerous treatments of specific topics in speciation, but surprisingly few papers have compared patterns and processes of speciation across different organismal groups. In this review, we partially address this gap by asking how variation in genome architecture impacts speciation across the plant and animal kingdoms.
