Both the diagnosis and treatment of human disease have undergone radical changes since the seminal discoveries of molecular biology, magnetic resonance imaging, mass spectrometry, and vaccine development, to name but a few. Glick and collea...

Do Empathic Individuals Behave More Prosocially? Neural Correlates for Altruistic Behavior in the Dictator Game and the Dark Side of Empathy

Do empathic individuals behave more prosocially? When we think of highly empathic individuals, we tend to assume that it is likely that those people will also help others. Most theories on empathy reflect this common understanding and claim...

A Resilience Engineering Approach for the Risk Assessment of IT Services

Nowadays, services related to IT technologies have assumed paramount importance in most sectors, creating complex systems involving different stakeholders. Such systems are subject to unpredictable risks that differ from what is usually exp...

Analysis and optimal design of low frequency road noise based on new energy MPV vehicle

Low-frequency road noise is a primary contributor to in-cabin noise and directly affects overall vehicle comfort. With the rapid development of electric vehicles, this issue has attracted increasing attention from the automotive industry. T...

The study described the isolation of β-D-galactopyranoside seco-phytoporphyrin from Atropa belladonna and Solanum tuberosum yellow leaves. Column chromatography was applied for its isolation. The UV-Vis, mass spectrometry and NMR spectrosco...

Erratum to: Search for resonant and nonresonant production of pairs of dijet resonances in proton-proton collisions at s $$ \sqrt{s} $$ = 13 TeV

A search for $t\bar{t}$ resonances with the ATLAS detector in 2.05 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 7~\mathrm{TeV}$

Abstract A search for top quark pair resonances in final states containing at least one electron or muon has been performed with the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The search uses a data sample corresponding to an integ...

Tissue Sodium in Patients With Early Stage Hypertension: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Background Sodium (Na+) stored in skin and muscle tissue is associated with essential hypertension. Sodium magnetic resonance imaging is a validated method of quantifying tissue stores of Na+. In this study, we evaluated tissue Na+ in patie...

A Deep Learning Harmonization of Multi-Vendor MRI for Robust Intervertebral Disc Segmentation

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides enhanced soft tissue contrast and high spatial resolution. However, the relationship between intensity values among soft tissues in MRI is inconsistent, even when obtained under the same conditions ...

Acoustic Cell Patterning for Structured Cell‐Laden Hydrogel Fibers/Tubules

Abstract Cell‐laden hydrogel fibers/tubules are one of the fundamentals of tissue engineering. They have been proven as a promising method for constructing biomimetic tissues, such as muscle fibers, nerve conduits, tendon and vessels, etc. ...

Stochastic brain dynamics exhibits differential regional distribution and maturation-related changes

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a powerful non-invasive method for studying brain function by analyzing blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) signals. These signals arise from intricate interplays of deterministic and sto...

Emergence of chaotic resonance controlled by extremely weak feedback signals in neural systems

IntroductionChaotic resonance is similar to stochastic resonance, which emerges from chaos as an internal dynamical fluctuation. In chaotic resonance, chaos-chaos intermittency (CCI), in which the chaotic orbits shift between the separated ...

A Novel Bird-Shape Broadband Piezoelectric Energy Harvester for Low Frequency Vibrations

This work presents a novel bird-shaped broadband piezoelectric energy harvester based on a two-DOF crossed beam for low-frequency environmental vibrations. The harvester features a cantilever mounted on a double-hinged beam, whose rotating ...

Confining single Er3+ ions in sub-3 nm NaYF4 nanoparticles to induce slow relaxation of the magnetisation

Abstract Molecular systems known as single-molecule magnets (SMMs) exhibit magnet-like behaviour of slow relaxation of the magnetisation and magnetic hysteresis and have potential application in high-density memory storage or quantum comput...

Color‐Filter‐Free Image Sensor Using CsPbBr3 Quantum‐Dot‐Based Tamm Plasmon Photodetector for Photonic Synapse Facial Recognition

Abstract This study demonstrates that optical absorption of the CsPbBr3 quantum dots can be significantly enhanced through monolithic integration with the Tamm plasmon (TP) structure. This integration enables the resulting TP photodetector ...

Strong coupling between a single-photon and a two-photon Fock state

Abstract The realization of strong nonlinear coupling between single photons has been a long-standing goal in quantum optics and quantum information science, promising wide impact applications, such as all-optical deterministic quantum logi...

Quantum computing

The main features of quantum computing are described in the framework of spin resonance methods. Stress is put on the fact that quantum computing is itself nothing but a reinterpretation (fruitful indeed) of well-known concepts. The role of...

Qudits and High-Dimensional Quantum Computing

Qudit is a multi-level computational unit alternative to the conventional 2-level qubit. Compared to qubit, qudit provides a larger state space to store and process information, and thus can provide reduction of the circuit complexity, simp...
