Subretinal delivery of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells is an important treatment for retinal degeneration patients, and the cell suspension method is the most common approach. Injectable hydrogel-mediated cell eng...

One of Leibniz’s fundamental philosophical commitments is the principle of sufficient reason (PSR). Yet Leibniz’s precise understanding of this principle is elusive.  Leibniz provides several seemingly different for...

Background: The world is facing a polycrisis of climate and ecosystems breakdown, extreme inequality and social injustice. The South African government and social partners are focusing on the crisis through a national J...

Lida a partir da missão prática que Maquiavel reserva ao Príncipe, de libertar e unificar a Itália, sua obra revela sua coerência, também no que se refere aos seus fundamentos teóricos. A concepção subjacente á...

Metasurface is a recently developed nanophotonics concept to manipulate the properties of light by replacing conventional bulky optical components with ultrathin (more than 104 times thinner) flat optical components. Sin...

Abstract Multimodal neural interfaces that integrate electrical and optical functionalities are promising tools for neuroscientific and clinical applications that involve recording and manipulating neuronal activity. How...

Abstract Introduction The policy-making process in health reform is challenging due to the complexity of organizations, overlapping roles, and diversity of responsibilities. The present study aims to investigate and anal...

The ability to manipulate light propagation sets the foundations for optical communication and information processing systems. With the ever-growing data capacity and data rate, photonic integrated circuits have attracte...

This article examines Mudwoman (2012) and Breathe (2021) by Joyce Carol Oates through the frameworks of cognitive poetics, predictive processing, and philosophical theories of consciousness. Drawing on Daniel Dennett’s...

The control of single spins in solids is a key but challenging step for any spin-based solid-state quantumcomputing device. Thanks to their expected long coherence time, localized spins on magnetic atoms in a s...

Abstract India’s ambitious renewable energy targets and its vision for energy self-reliance critically depend on a resilient and competitive solar photovoltaic (PV) manufacturing ecosystem. However, India’s heavy rel...

Abstract Objective To determine whether menstrual-cycle (MC) phase is associated with changes in pelvic floor muscle (PFM) function, focusing on myoelectric excitation (intravaginal sEMG) at rest and during standardized ...

The on-demand manipulation of triplet states in closed-shell single molecules is still out of reach due to a lack of information about the energy of those triplet states. Yet, the access to triplet states would open up a...

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a severe neuropsychiatric disorder characterised by re-experiencing, avoidance and hyperarousal. Memory abnormalities manifested as intrusive thoughts and prolonged distressful em...

A propósito do livro de Carlos Rodrigues Brandão i seria interessante lembrar o que diz Gramsci2 sobre as relações entre a filosofia, a religião, o senso comum e o folclore. Se a filosofia constitui a verdadeira Wel...

Abstract The electrical structure of oceanic lithosphere and underlying asthenosphere provides crucial constraints on upper mantle dynamics, complementing seismic observations to distinguish between competing mechanisms ...

The popular clustering procedures applied in administrative units clustering (regions, districts, municipalities) frequently result in distinguishing incoherent groups, which is difficult to accept by the analyses addre...

Abstract Background Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a debilitating multisystem disease characterized by heterogeneous symptom patterns. Previous work suggested that specific symptoms tend t...

The White Paper for European Defence and the “ReArm Europe – Readiness 2030” re-armament plan represent two key instruments designed to reinforce the European Union’s security and defence posture in an increasing...

The challenge of context-free validity arises from the common belief that rigorous methodology ensures research credibility in various contexts, despite variations in epistemic foundations, institutional capacity, cultur...

We have designed, fabricated and tested a lens with a chromatic aberration coefficient (Cc) of 1.0 mm, a 4.0 mm pole-gap and 2.0 mm bore that is wide enough to accommodate an anti-contamination system and an object...

Photospheric shearing motions are one of the possible ways to inject magnetic helicity into the corona. We explore their efficiency as a function of their particular properties and those of the magnetic field configurati...

The article aims to investigate the part played by legal formalism in maintaining the continuity and coherence of the law. The legal formalism is reconstructed and analysed as one of the dominant, if not the dominant, pe...

The broad autism phenotype (BAP) is a milder manifestation of the defining symptoms of the syndrome in individuals without autism. This study conducted a systematic review of studies about behavioral characteristics of i...
