Thermoresponsive poly(di(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate)-ran-(polyethylene glycol methacrylate) graft copolymers exhibiting temperature-dependent rheology and self-assembly
(2022-01-15)
Graft copolymers with brush-type architectures are explored containing poly (ethylene glycol) methacrylates copolymerized with “thermoresponsive” monomers which impart lower critical solution temperatures to the polymer. ...
Knowledge and Use of Novel Psychoactive Substances in an Italian Sample with Substance Use Disorders
(2022-01-14)
This study aims to determine prevalence and frequency of use of novel psychoactive substances (NPS) and to identify the factors associated with NPS use in an Italian sample of patients diagnosed with substance use disorder ...
Transient obscuration event captured in NGC~3227 II. Warm absorbers and obscuration events in archival XMM-Newton and NuSTAR observations
(2022-01-14)
The relationship between warm absorber (WA) outflows of active galactic nuclei and nuclear obscuration activities caused by optically thick clouds (obscurers) crossing the line of sight is still unclear. NGC 3227 is a ...
Extremely massive disc galaxies in the nearby Universe form through gas-rich minor mergers
(2022-01-14)
In our hierarchical structure-formation paradigm, the observed morphological evolution of massive galaxies -- from rotationally-supported discs to dispersion-dominated spheroids -- is largely explained via galaxy merging. ...
Current and novel biomarkers of thrombotic risk in COVID-19: a Consensus Statement from the International COVID-19 Thrombosis Biomarkers Colloquium
(2022-01-13)
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) predisposes patients to thrombotic and thromboembolic events, owing to excessive inflammation, endothelial cell activation and injury, platelet activation and hypercoagulability. Patients ...
Eye-Gaze-Controlled HMDS and MFD for Military Aircraft
(2022-01-13)
Eye-gaze-controlled interfaces allow the direct manipulation of a graphical user interface by looking at it. This technology has great potential in military aviation, in particular, operating different displays in situations ...
A Robust Dirichlet Reputation and Trust Evaluation of Nodes in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
(2022-01-12)
The distributed nature of mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) presents security challenges and vulnerabilities which sometimes lead to several forms of attacks. To improve the security in MANETs, reputation and trust management ...
A machine learning-based monitoring system for attention and stress detection for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders
(ACM Press, 2022-01-11)
The majority of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) have faced difficulties in sensory processing, which affect their ability of effective attention and stress management. Children with ASD also have unique ...
Characteristic Study of Solar Photovoltaic Array under Different Partial Shading Conditions
(2022-01-11)
Photovoltaic (PV) systems are frequently exposed to partial or complete shading phenomena. Partial shading has a profound impact on the performance of solar power generation. The operational performance of PV arrays under ...
