Microscopic origin of self-similarity in granular blast waves

open access: yes, 2016
The self-similar expansion of a blast wave, well-studied in air, has peculiar counterparts in dense and dissipative media such as granular gases. Recent results have shown that, while the traditional Taylor-von Neumann-Sedov (TvNS) derivation is not ...

Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation can modulate fronto-parietal brain networks

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience
ObjectiveRecent studies have shown that transcutaneous vagal nerve stimulation (tVNS) holds promise as a treatment for neurological or psychiatric disease through the ability to modulate neural activity in some brain regions without an invasive procedure.

Governance Structures, Political Change and Executive Turnover in State‐Owned Enterprises: Evidence From Chile

open access: yesRegulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To address the shortcomings associated with state ownership, countries have implemented various legal strategies to curb political influence in state‐owned enterprises. This research studies whether these strategies constrain the government's ability to use their appointment powers for political considerations.

Neuro‐Immune Crosstalk: Molecular Mechanisms, Biological Functions, Diseases, and Therapeutic Targets

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
Neurons, immune cells, and other cellular components within the disease microenvironment (such as stromal cells and tumor cells) constitute a dynamically evolving ecosystem. Neurons directly modulate immune cell activity and inflammatory responses through the release of neurotransmitters (e.g., norepinephrine and CGRP), while also promoting tumor ...

Critical Review of Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation: Challenges for Translation to Clinical Practice

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2020
Several studies have illustrated that transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) can elicit therapeutic effects that are similar to those produced by its invasive counterpart, vagus nerve stimulation (VNS).
