Heart in the work of the eminent Greek philosopher and physician Aristotle (384-322 BC)

Archives of the Balkan Medical Union, 2020
Aristotle (384-322 BC), the founder of the peripatetic sect of philosophers was a polymath and his work covers almost every major area of human inquiry such as physics, biology, metaphysics, ethics, rhetoric and politics. However, it seems that he had an

Lattice Strain and Built‐In Field Synergistically Boost Urea Oxidation via Dynamic NiOOH Mediation at Multiphase Heterointerfaces

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A sulfur‐doped lignin‐derived carbon‐coated Ni‐NiO‐MoO2 nanorod array was synthesized, exhibiting enhanced UOR performance ‐ due to lattice‐strain and built‐in electric field effects by multiphase heterogeneous interface in Ni‐NiO‐MoO2@SC, excellent corrosion resistance, mass‐transport ability, and long‐term stability (500 mA cm−2 at 1.53 V for 500 h ...

Integrating Ethics of Technology into a Serious Game: The Case of Tethics

Open Philosophy
In the face of what is called “Existential risks/threats” or “polycrisis” – where digitalization, biomedicalization, and environmental degradation intertwine as existential threats – this article argues for a critical philosophy of technology as a ...

The Glacial History of the Pindus Mountains, Greece [PDF]

The Journal of Geology, 2006
Geomorphological evidence for Pleistocene glaciation has been mapped in the Pindus Mountains of northwest Greece, and the chronology of glaciation in this area has been established through soil profile analysis and U-series dating of secondary carbonates (calcite) formed within glacial deposits.

Unlocking Terahertz Steganography: Authentication of Hidden Images in Flexible Media

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Hidden information in multilayered devices, such as steganographic portraits, is detected and authenticated using reflection‐mode terahertz time‐domain imaging. Image reconstruction relies on a dedicated figure‐of‐merit obtained by integrating the signal intensity over the time‐window associated with the reflection from the metallic mirror backing the ...

Switching Spike Plasticity Shapes ACE2 Engagement Across SARS‐CoV‐2 Variants

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Conformational plasticity governs SARS‐CoV‐2 spike function and ACE2 recognition. Using high‐speed AFM and single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we analyzed the ancestral spike and nine variants, revealing progressive rigidification from Delta, variable plasticity in Omicron sublineages, and JN.1 compaction.

Silicon Nitride Resistive Memories

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Amorphous SiNx is an attractive resistance switching material for ReRAM applications due to its physicochemical properties, such as humidity resistance, low oxygen diffusivity, and is used as a metal diffusion blocker. By modifying the ratio between N and Si atoms, the microstructure of the SiNx is affected, rendering it possible to change the ...
