Dynamics of solute/matric stress interactions with climate change abiotic factors on growth, gene expression and ochratoxin aA production by Penicillium verrucosum on a wheat-based matrix
(2020-10-16)
Penicillium verrucosum is responsible for ochratoxin A (OTA) contamination of temperate cereals during harvesting and storage. Inoculum comes from soil and crop debris. This study examined the effect of temperature (25 vs ...
Cosmic Rates of Black Hole Mergers and Pair-Instability Supernovae from Chemically Homogeneous Binary Evolution
(2020-10-16)
During the first three observing runs of the Advanced gravitational-wave detector network, the LIGO/Virgo collaboration detected several black hole binary (BHBH) mergers. As the population of detected BHBH mergers grows, ...
Characteristic scale of star formation. I. Clump formation efficiency on local scales
(2020-10-16)
We have used the ratio of column densities (CDR) derived independently from the 850-$\mu$m continuum JCMT Plane Survey (JPS) and the $^{13}$CO/C$^{18}$O $(J=3-2)$ Heterodyne Inner Milky Way Plane Survey (CHIMPS) to produce ...
A novel treatment strategy for preterm birth: Intra-vaginal progesterone-loaded fibrous patches
(2020-10-15)
Progesterone-loaded poly(lactic) acid fibrous polymeric patches were produced using electrospinning and pressurized gyration for intra-vaginal application to prevent preterm birth. The patches were intravaginally inserted ...
Link between radio-loud AGNs and host-galaxy shape
(2020-10-15)
The morphology of quiescent galaxies has been found to be correlated with the activity of their central super massive black hole. In this work, we use data from the first data release of the LOFAR Two$-$Metre Sky Survey ...
Effect of injection strategies on a single-fuel RCCI combustion fueled with isobutanol/isobutanol + DTBP blends
(2020-10-15)
In recent years, improved combustion controllability through in-cylinder reactivity stratification by using two different fuels have led to introduction of dual-fuel reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI) strategy. ...
Feasibility trial of cognitive behavioural therapy for fatigue in haemodialysis (BReF intervention)
(2020-10-14)
OBJECTIVE: Fatigue affects at least half of patients who are on haemodialysis with considerable repercussions on their functioning, quality of life, and clinical outcomes. This study assessed the feasibility, acceptability, ...
What about “Pharming”? Issues Regarding the Misuse of Prescription and Over‐the‐Counter Drugs
(2020-10-14)
Recently, a range of prescription and over‐the‐counter (OTC) drugs have emerged as being used recreationally, either on their own or in combination with other substances, both licit and illicit, including new psychoactive ...
Warmth and Competence to Predict Human Preference of Robot Behavior in Physical Human-Robot Interaction
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020-10-14)
A solid methodology to understand human perception and preferences in human-robot interaction (HRI) is crucial in designing real-world HRI. Social cognition posits that the dimensions Warmth and Competence are central and ...
