Oscillations of the Wandering Mind: Neural Evidence for Distinct Exploration/Exploitation Strategies in Younger and Older Adults

open access: yesHuman Brain Mapping, Volume 46, Issue 6, April 15, 2025.
This research reveals that older adults demonstrate steadier attentional engagement and earlier evidence accumulation, favouring a more exploitative task approach. In contrast, younger adults exhibit more frequent mind‐wandering and perceptual decoupling, flexibly shifting between exploration and exploitation without compromising overall task ...

An engineered mammalian band-pass network [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Gene expression circuitries, which enable cells to detect precise levels within a morphogen concentration gradient, have a pivotal impact on biological processes such as embryonic pattern formation, paracrine and autocrine signalling, and cellular ...

Using Nitroxides to Enhance Carbon Fiber Interfacial Adhesion and as an Anchor for “Graft to” Surface Modification Strategies

open access: yesMacromolecular Rapid Communications, Volume 46, Issue 8, April 2025.
Nitroxide groups are covalently grafted to carbon fiber (CF), serving as anchoring sites for TEMPO‐terminated polymers. Surface modification results in enhanced tensile strength, Young's modulus, and interfacial shear strength (IFSS). Polymer‐grafted CF exhibits smaller increases in IFSS compared to nitroxide‐grafted CF due to the lack of exposed ...

Multiple configuration shell-core structured robotic manipulator with interchangeable mechatronic joints : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Engineering in Mechatronics at Massey University, Turitea Campus, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
With the increase of robotic technology utilised throughout industry, the need for skilled labour in this area has increased also. As a result, education dealing with robotics has grown at both the high-school and tertiary educational level.

Contrasting mechanisms of magma fragmentation during coeval magmatic and hydromagmatic activity: the Hverfjall Fires fissure eruption, Iceland [PDF]

open access: yes
Growing evidence for significant magmatic vesiculation prior to magma-water interaction (MWI) has brought into question the use of ‘diagnostic’ features, such as low vesicularities and blocky morphologies, to identify hydromagmatic pyroclasts. We address

How Did Westward Volcaniclastic Deposits Accumulate in the Deep Sea Following the January 2022 Eruption of Hunga Volcano?

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 4, April 2025.
Abstract Most volcanic eruptions on Earth take place below the ocean surface and remain largely unobserved. Reconstruction of past submerged eruptions has thus primarily been based on the study of seafloor deposits. Rarely before the 15 January 2022 eruption of Hunga volcano (Kingdom of Tonga) have we been able to categorically link deep‐sea deposits ...

Post-processing of engineering products obtained by additive layer modelling

open access: yesТехнічна інженерія
The article investigates the influence of mechanical post-treatment on the geometric and physical and mechanical characteristics of products manufactured by additive layer modelling (in particular, FDM). The mechanisms of formation of the defective layer
