Neurobehavioral Assessment of Sensorimotor Function in Autism Using Smartphone Technology

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Differences in sensorimotor processing represent an important, yet underrecognized, feature of autism; typically assessed through subjective observations, which, although important, are susceptible to biases. To complement these observations, a more objective approach to assess sensorimotor function may be possible through reflex‐based ...

The Effect of Particle Strength on the Ballistic Resistance of Shear Thickening Fluids

, 2013
The response of shear thickening fluids (STFs) under ballistic impact has received considerable attention due to its field-responsive nature. While efforts have primarily focused on the response of traditional ballistic fabrics impregnated with fluids ...

Critical Discourse Analysis in Corporate Reports: Legitimation Strategies in the Context of Environmental Controversies

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the use of environmental disclosure as a strategic tool to manage legitimacy crises in a mining company, adopting critical discourse analysis (CDA) as the main methodology. Focusing on a case of environmental disaster, this research reveals how corporate narratives can be manipulated to minimize responsibility and reinforce

Singular behaviour of the electromagnetic field

, 2009
The singularities of the electromagnetic field are derived to include all the point-like multipoles representing an electric charge and current distribution. Firstly derived in the static case, the result is generalized to the dynamic one. We establish a

Sleeping-tree fidelity of the spider monkey shapes community-level seed-rain patterns in continuous and fragmented rain forests [PDF]

, 2015
Repeated use of sleeping trees (STs) by frugivores promotes the deposition and aggregation of copious amounts of seed, thus having key implications for seed dispersal and forest regeneration. Seed-rain patterns produced by this behaviour likely depend on

Biodegradable HPMC–chitosan film for moisture retention and quality preservation in fresh‐cut mango

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Replacing conventional plastics with biodegradable solutions that control moisture loss in fresh‐cut produce is a strategic need. This study developed hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) and chitosan (CS) films plasticised with glycerol (Gly) and evaluated their use as sealing lids for fresh‐cut mango. RESULTS The selected monolayer

Lactuca sativa L. losses and wastes as a source of biobased ingredients

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The growing global population and increasing consumer focus on healthy eating challenge the agricultural sector to ensure both sustainable food production and safety. Lettuce (Lactuca sativa Mill.), the most cultivated leafy vegetable worldwide, can lose up to 40% of its weight during processing.

Influence of Processing and Storage on the Shear Thickening Properties of Highly Concentrated Monodisperse Silica Particles in Polyethylene Glycol

Applied Rheology, 2013
The shear thickening behavior of concentrated suspensions can be exploited to dissipate energy during impact or shear loading. To preserve the consistency of the thickening behavior in practical applications, particle concentration, and dispersion should

Loperamide, pimozide, and STF-62247 trigger autophagy-dependent cell death in glioblastoma cells

Cell Death and Disease, 2018
Autophagy is a well-described degradation mechanism that promotes cell survival upon nutrient starvation and other forms of cellular stresses. In addition, there is growing evidence showing that autophagy can exert a lethal function via autophagic cell ...

Arbuscular mycorrhiza in the urban jungle: Glomeromycotina communities of the dominant city tree across Amsterdam

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Trees in cities provide a great number of benefits to people and nature, but they are challenged by harsh conditions. Trees rely on helpful fungi in their roots to get essential nutrients from the soil, but we do not know which of these fungi are resistant to city landscapes.
