Cortical activity associated with generating an inference was measured using fMRI. Participants read three-sentence passages that differed in whether or not an inference needed to be drawn to understand them. The inference was based on either a protagonist's intention or a physical consequence of a character's action. Activation was expected in Theory of Mind brain regions for the passages base...

Human listeners were functionally imaged while reporting their perception of sequences of alternating-frequency tone bursts separated by 0, 1/8, 1, or 20 semitones. Our goal was to determine whether functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) activation of auditory cortex changes with frequency separation in a manner predictable from the perceived rate of the stimulus. At the null and small se...

The ability of epithelia to migrate and cover wounds is essential to maintaining their functions as physical barriers. Wounding induces many cues that may affect the transition to motility, including the immediate mechanical perturbation, release of material from broken cells, new interactions with adjacent extracellular matrix, and breakdown of physical separation of ligands from their recepto...

The main aim of this study was to evaluate options for addressing two pressing challenges related environmental quality and circular economy stemming from wastage or underutilization abundant biomass residue resources contamination water by industrial effluents. In we focused on residues (endocarp) Macaúba palm (Acrocomia aculeata) used oil production, its conversion activated biochar, potentia...

In the domain of gas sensing, metal oxide nanostructures have been demonstrated to very attractive properties due their large surface-over-volume ratio, combined with possibility use multiple materials and multi-functional properties. Here, we review basic physical principles underlying transducer function nanostructures, from single nanostructure networks. These adapted describe response more ...
