A footpath in the Square de la Tour Saint-Jacques in Paris is named for the dancer Vaslav Nijinsky (1889–1950). It was in the nearby Théâtre du Châtelet that the ‘God of Dance’ astounded audiences and scandalized critics with...
A kinematic analysis of rugby lineout throwing
To characterize rugby union lineout throwing technique, three experienced male rugby players performed throwing trials under varying conditions of distance and trajectory. Motion analysis permitted the recovery of joint centre...

High flux thin-film nanocomposites with embedded boron nitride nanotubes for nanofiltration

A novel thin film nanocomposite (TFN) membrane was obtained by incorporating boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) into a polyamide (PA) thin selective layer prepared via interfacial polymerisation. The addition of just 0.02 wt% of...

The effect of hydrocarbon pollution on polysulfone-based membranes in aqueous separations
This work investigates the influence of hydrocarbon pollution on the performance of desalination membranes with a polysulfone support. Toluene was chosen as the model hydrocarbon compound and permeation measurements were...
Surface-controlled water flow in nanotube membranes

The independent effect of nanotube surface chemistry and structure on the flow of water under nanoscale confinement is demonstrated in this paper for the first time via the synthesis of novel carbon nitride nanotube (CNNT)...

Gap variability upon packing in organic photovoltaics.
The variation of the HOMO-LUMO band gap is explored for varying packing arrangements of the 4mod BT-4TIC donor-acceptor molecule pair, by means of a high-throughput ab-initio random structure search of packing possibilities. 350...
A simple and robust Abaqus implementation of the phase field fracture method
The phase field fracture method is attracting significant interest. Phase field approaches have enabled predicting - on arbitrary geometries and dimensions - complex fracture phenomena such as crack branching...

Composition of Corroded Reinforcing Steel Surface in Solutions Simulating the Electrolytic Environments in the Micropores of Concrete in the Propagation Period

In the present work, the composition of a corroded reinforcing steel surface is studied at different pH values (related to different degrees of development in the corroding zones of the corrosion process) in solutions...

Network equilibration and first-principles liquid water.
Motivated by the very low diffusivity recently found in ab initio simulations of liquid water, we have studied its dependence with temperature, system size, and duration of the simulations. We use ab initio molecular dynamics...
An Analysis of Route Duration Times in Vehicular Networks Considering Influential Factors
Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) are part of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and their main objective is to provide communication between vehicles. As self-organizing and configuring networks, with decentralized...
On the Finite Element Implementation of Functionally Graded Materials.
We investigate the numerical implementation of functionally graded properties in the context of the finite element method. The macroscopic variation of elastic properties inherent to functionally graded materials (FGMs) is...
The Ungrounded Nature of Being
Emilio Carlo Corriero
Aug 29, 2018
The fact that in around 1844, and at the height of his positive philosophy period, Schelling dedicates himself to drafting a work entirely dedicated to issues in the nature-philosophy, such as the Presentation of the Process of...
Mechanisms Underlying Motivational Dysfunction in Schizophrenia.
Negative symptoms are a debilitating feature of schizophrenia which are often resistant to pharmacological intervention. The mechanisms underlying them remain poorly understood, and diagnostic methods rely on phenotyping through...

This work investigates the influence of hydrocarbon pollution on the performance of desalination membranes with a polysulfone support. Toluene was chosen as the model hydrocarbon compound and permeation measurements were...
Early versus late risk factors for deficit and nondeficit schizophrenia.
AIM: We examined whether timing of known risk factors for schizophrenia may influence the development of schizophrenia with primary negative symptoms. METHOD: This cross-sectional single-centre study in England used a clinical...
An Early Developmental Marker of Deficit versus Nondeficit Schizophrenia.
People with schizophrenia and primary negative symptoms (deficit schizophrenia) differ from those without such symptoms (nondeficit schizophrenia) on risk factors, course of illness, other signs and symptoms, treatment response...
Polypyrimidine tract-binding proteins are essential for B cell development
Polypyrimidine tract-binding protein 1 (PTBP1) is a RNA-binding protein (RBP) expressed throughout B cell development. Deletion of Ptbp1 in mouse pro-B cells results in upregulation of PTBP2 and normal B cell development. We...
