Mentalization impairment is associated with problematic alcohol use in a sample of young adults: A cross-sectional study
(2020-11-22)
Background: Alcohol is one of the most widely used drugs among adolescents and young people, and problematic alcohol use (PAU) is related to significant long-term biological, clinical, and psychosocial sequelae. Although ...
Statically Verified Refinements for Multiparty Protocols
(2020-11-20)
With distributed computing becoming ubiquitous in the modern era, safe distributed programming is an open challenge. To address this, multiparty session types (MPST) provide a typing discipline for message-passing concurrency, ...
Polymers exhibiting lower critical solution temperatures as a route to thermoreversible gelators for healthcare
(2020-11-20)
The ability to trigger changes to material properties with external stimuli, so-called “smart” behavior, has enabled novel technologies for a wide range of healthcare applications. Response to small changes in temperature ...
