Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Spontaneity in social dreaming

open access: yes, 2011
Social dreaming is a modern day method in which people share dreams and associations from which learning can be gained about the broader social system. Research to date has established the validity of this goal however there has been little exploration ...

Learning spontaneity to improve emotion recognition in speech [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We investigate the effect and usefulness of spontaneity (i.e. whether a given speech is spontaneous or not) in speech in the context of emotion recognition.

Dualities of Spontaneity: Adorno’s Rethinking of a Kantian Concept

open access: yesOpen Philosophy
This paper examines Theodor Adorno’s critical reappropriation of the Kantian notion of Spontaneity. By tracing two distinct senses of spontaneity in Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason – the relative spontaneity of the understanding and the absolute ...

Trust the Process: A New Scientific Outlook on Psychodramatic Spontaneity Training

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2018
Human mind is hypothesis-driven and our observations of the world are strongly shaped by preconceptions. This “top-down” principle is biologically driven and contraindicative to spontaneity, which is non-linear, condensed, and initially incomprehensible.

The role of order and disorder in thermal and material sciences part 1: Heat and society [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Mining and Metallurgy. Section B: Metallurgy, 2002
The notion of heat is thoroughly analyzed and its historical links are searched particularly with relation to both the Greek philosophy (Milesians, Pythagoreans, atomists, etc.) and in the present day thermal physics.

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Discussion on definition and understanding of the thermodynamic spontaneous process

open access: yesChemistry Teacher International
The spontaneous process is one of the most important concepts in thermodynamics. However, there are widespread confusions about it because of markedly different definitions in many textbooks of physical chemistry as well as its daily and nonscientific ...

Spontaneous pneumomediastinum [PDF]

open access: yesBMJ Case Reports, 2018
Spontaneous pneumomediastinum is the presence of free air within the mediastinum that is not associated with trauma. It is a rare, self-limiting condition that can cause widespread subcutaneous surgical emphysema. We present the case of a 12-year-old boy who presented with widespread spontaneous surgical emphysema and pneumomediastinum, with no history

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...
