A Bio‐Inspired Perspective on Materials Sustainability
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This perspective discusses natural materials as inspiration for sustainable engineering designs and the processing of materials. First, circularity, longevity, parsimony, and activity are presented as essential material paradigms. The perspective then uses many examples of natural and technical materials to introduce principles such as oligo ...

Altering sensorimotor simulation impacts early stages of facial expression processing depending on individual differences in alexithymic traits [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Simulation models of facial expressions suggest that posterior visual areas and brain areas underpinning sensorimotor simulations might interact to improve facial expression processing. According to these models, facial mimicry may contribute to the visual processing of facial expressions by influencing early stages. The aim of the present study was to

Proto-Acting as a New Concept: Personal Mimicry and the Origins of Role Playing
Humanities, 2017 Proto-acting is introduced here as a new concept that refers to a set of processes that are intermediate between everyday role playing (in the Erving Goffman sense) and dramatic acting.

Comparative Analysis and Framework Evaluating Mimicry-Resistant and Invisible Web Authentication Schemes [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Many password alternatives for web authentication proposed over the years, despite having different designs and objectives, all predominantly rely on the knowledge of some secret. This motivates us, herein, to provide the first detailed exploration of the integration of a fundamentally different element of defense into the design of web authentication ...

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Base editing using nanoneedles efficiently corrects pathogenic variants in the type VII collagen gene of primary fibroblasts from patients with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa. Nanoneedle editing induces minimal and reversible transcriptional perturbations while restoring the production and secretion of functional type VII collagen.
