A literature review was conducted aiming to understand the interface between the Intellectual Disability and Mental Health fields and to contribute to mitigating the path of institutionalizing individuals with intellectual deficiencies. The so-called dual diagnosis phenomenon remains underestimated in Brazil but is the object of research and specific public policy internationally. This phenomen...

Recent research in the area of Second Language Acquisition has proposed that bilinguals and L2 learners show syntactic indeterminacy when syntactic properties interface with other cognitive domains. Most of the research in this area has focused on the pragmatic use of syntactic properties while the investigation of compliance with a grammatical rule at syntax-related interfaces has not received...

Asymmetric magnetization reversal is an unusual phenomenon in antiferromagnet/ferromagnet (AF/FM) exchange biased bilayers. We investigated this phenomenon in a simple model system experimentally and by simulation assuming inhomogeneously distributed interfacial AF moments. The results suggest that the observed asymmetry originates from the intrinsic broken symmetry of the system, which results...

*1 “Xi” (Crossy): “Xi” (read “Crossy”) and its logo are trademarks of NTT DOCOMO. *2 OFDMA: A radio access scheme that uses Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). OFDM uses multiple low data rate multi-carrier signals for the parallel transmission of wideband data with a high data rate, thereby implementing high-quality transmission that is highly robust to multipath (see *3) interf...

We investigate the influence of the adsorption phenomenon on the impedance spectroscopy measurements. The analysis is performed by assuming that the ions have the same mobility and the electrodes are perfectly blocking. We find that in the low frequency range the presence of the adsorption phenomenon is responsible for an increasing of the real part of the impedance of the cell, similar to the ...

The novel phenomenon of fluorescence self-quenching was earlier discovered by us. It was observed in monolayers from fluorescently head labeled phospholipids, mainly Nitrobenzoxadiazole Dipalmitoyl Phosphatidyl Ethanolamine (DP-NBD-PE), at the air-liquid interface. Here we report that the morphology and film structure is preserved during Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) film transfer on the solid support...

Has the ten-year old quest for the optical superlens, based on Veselago’s hypothesis of negative refraction, been a chimera? We argue that Pendry’s alternative prescription of the silver superlens is nothing more than an application of the natural phenomenon of surface plasmon resonance that occurs in the noble metal films. This phenomenon does not predict the reality of Veselago’s negative ref...

During the explosive welding, bonding interface of welded materials was fast heated due to high strain rate and drastic plastic deformation. The periodical wave interface, with an amplitude ~300 μm a period wavelength ~800 μm, identifiable as uniform formed in interface. details formation melting zone mixing welding at were observed. Combined Ti-Fe binary phase diagram principle diffusion compo...

This paper extends current knowledge on electromagnetic wave scattering from bounded moving media in several regards. First, it complements the usual dispersion relation of media, ?(?k) (?k: phase velocity direction, associated with vector, k), equally important impedance relation, ?(?S) (?S: group Poynting S). Second, explains interluminal-regime phenomenon double-downstream transmission acros...
