Individual differences in the emotional modulation of gaze-cuing
(Taylor and Francis, 2018-07-08)Gaze-cuing refers to the spontaneous orienting of attention towards a gazed-at location, characterised by shorter response times to gazed-at than non-gazed at targets. Previous research suggests that processing of these ... -
Increased Early Sensitivity to Eyes in Mouthless Faces: In Support of the LIFTED Model of Early Face Processing
(Springer, 2018-07-09)The N170 ERP component is a central neural marker of early face perception usually thought to reflect holistic processing. However, it is also highly sensitive to eyes presented in isolation and to fixation on the eyes ... -
Stability and Well-posedness of a Nonlinear Railway Track Model
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2018-06-22)Railway tracks rest on a foundation known for exhibiting nonlinear viscoelastic behavior. Railway track deflections are modeled by a semilinear partial differential equation. This paper studies the stability of solutions ... -
Supplementing glycosylation: A review of applying nucleotide-sugar precursors to growth medium to affect therapeutic recombinant protein glycoform distributions
(Elsevier, 2018-09-01)Glycosylation is a critical quality attribute (CQA) of many therapeutic proteins, particularly monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), and is a major consideration in the approval of biosimilar biologics due to its effects to ... -
Binary vs. ternary reactivity ratios: Appropriate estimation procedures with terpolymerization data
(Elsevier, 2018-08-01)There is a widely accepted analogy between copolymerization and terpolymerization mechanisms that has allowed researchers to use reactivity ratios obtained for binary pairs (from copolymerization experiments) in models ... -
Anatexis of former arc magmatic rocks during oceanic subduction: A case study from the North Wulan gneiss complex
(Elsevier, 2018-09-01)Migmatites are widespread in the North Wulan gneiss complex from the South Qilian–North Qaidam orogenic belt, but their petrogenesis and ages are poorly constrained. Here, an integrated study of petrography, whole-rock ... -
“Ne nnipadua mmpe” (the body hates it): Exploring the lived experience of food allergy in Sub-Saharan Africa
(Elsevier, 2018-05-01)Allergic diseases have closely followed the rise of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) especially in western societies. As prevalence of NCD is increasing in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), researchers are hinting that the same ... -
Strain rate sensitivities of deformation mechanisms in magnesium alloys
(Elsevier, 2018-08-01)Strain rate sensitivity (SRS) is an important material property that governs the rate dependent mechanical behaviors associated with deformation rate changes, creep, stress relaxation, formability, etc. The variety of ... -
Hilbert space operators with compatible off-diagonal corners
(Elsevier, 2018-08-15)Given a complex, separable Hilbert space H, we characterize those operators for which ‖PT(I−P)‖=‖(I−P)TP‖ for all orthogonal projections P on H. When H is finite-dimensional, we also obtain a complete characterization of ... -
Shear Viscosity of Poly (acrylamide/acrylic acid) Solutions
(Wiley, 2016-02-22)Acrylamide (AAm)/Acrylic acid (AAc) copolymers are being used in a wide spectrum of applications, from which enhanced oil recovery (EOR) is the target application in this research study. The shear viscosity of the copolymer ... -
The role of intra-NAPL diffusion on mass transfer from MGP residuals
(Elsevier, 2018-06-01)An experimental and computational study was performed to investigate the role of multi-component intra-NAPL diffusion on NAPL-water mass transfer. Molecular weight and the NAPL component concentrations were determined to ... -
The effects of dielectric decrement and finite ion size on differential capacitance of electrolytically gated graphene
(Elsevier, 2018-06-01)We analyze the effects of dielectric decrement and finite ion size in an aqueous electrolyte on the capacitance of a graphene electrode, and make comparisons with the effects of dielectric saturation combined with finite ... -
Spontaneous weaving: 3D porous PtCu networks with ultrathin jagged nanowires for highly efficient oxygen reduction reaction
(Elsevier, 2018-11-15)We report a simple and efficient surfactant-free method to prepare 3D porous PtCu networks with ultrathin jagged nanowires and controllable composition. The morphological evolution and the influential effects of the important ... -
Phosphate toxicity and tumorigenesis
(Elsevier, 2018-04-01)In this article, we briefly summarized evidence that cellular phosphate burden from phosphate toxicity is a pathophysiological determinant of cancer cell growth. Tumor cells express more phosphate cotransporters and store ... -
Nitrogen-doped hollow porous carbon polyhedrons embedded with highly dispersed Pt nanoparticles as a highly efficient and stable hydrogen evolution electrocatalyst
(Elsevier, 2017-10-01)The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is a promising alternative method of producing clean and renewable hydrogen resources. Although Pt-based nanomaterials are the most efficient catalysts for HER, their poor stability ... -

(Elsevier, 2018-08-01)Cadmium is a highly toxic environmental pollutant that can cause many adverse effects including cancer, neurological disease and kidney damage. Aquatic amphibians are particularly susceptible to this toxicant as it was ... -
Highly polarized carbon nano-architecture as robust metal-free catalyst for oxygen reduction in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells
(Elsevier, 2018-07-01)Metal-free electrocatalysts have eluded widespread adoption in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells due to their far inferior catalytic activity than most non-precious metal-N-C counterparts (M-Nx-C) for oxygen reduction ... -
Aqueous intercalation-type electrode materials for grid-level energy storage: Beyond the limits of lithium and sodium
(Elsevier, 2018-08-01)Intermittent, fluctuational, and unpredictable features of renewable energy require grid-level energy storage (GES). Among various types of GES, aqueous electrochemical storage is undoubtedly the most promising method due ... -
