Multifractal behavior in the cepstrum representation of healthy and unhealthy infant cry signals is examined by means of wavelet leaders and compared using the Student t-test. The empirical results show that both expiration and inspiration signals exhibit clear evidence of multifractal properties under healthy and unhealthy conditions. In addition, expira ...

We study the effect of the phase-change material VO2 on plasmons in metallic arm-chair graphene nanoribbons (AGNRs) within the random-phase approximation (RPA) for intra- and inter-band transitions. We assess the influence of temperature as a knob for the transition from the insulating to the metallic phase of VO2 on localized and propagating plasmon mode ...

Major depressive disorder is a leading cause of disability and suicide worldwide. Consecutive rounds of conventional interventions are ineffective in a significant sub-group of patients whose disorder is classified as treatment-resistant depression. Significant progress in managing this severe form of depression has been achieved through the use of deep b ...

Although mechanisms of mate preference are thought to be relatively hard-wired, experience with appetitive and consummatory sexual reward has been shown to condition preferences for partner related cues and even objects that predict sexual reward. Here, we reviewed evidence from laboratory species and humans on sexually conditioned place, partner, and eja ...

Introduction: Parkinson's Disease (PD) commonly affects cognition and communicative functions, including the ability to perceive socially meaningful cues from nonverbal behavior and spoken language (e.g., a speaker's tone of voice). However, we know little about how people with PD use social information to make decisions in daily interactions (e.g ...

Closed-loop brain stimulation refers to capturing neurophysiological measures such as electroencephalography (EEG), quickly identifying neural events of interest, and producing auditory, magnetic or electrical stimulation so as to interact with brain processes precisely. It is a promising new met ...

Quantitative phase imaging with off-axis digital holography in a microscopic configuration provides insight into the cells' intracellular content and morphology. This imaging is conventionally achieved by numerical reconstruction of the recorded hologram, which requires the precise setting of the reconstruction parameters, including reconstruction dis ...

High-yield citric acid production by the filamentous Ascomycete fungus Aspergillus niger requires a combination of extreme nutritional conditions, of which maintaining a low manganese (II) ion concentration (-1) is a key feature. Technical-scale production of citric acid predominantly uses stainl ...

La-related proteins (LARPs) comprise a family of RNA-binding proteins involved in a wide range of posttranscriptional regulatory activities. LARPs share a unique tandem of two RNA-binding domains, La motif (LaM) and RNA recognition motif (RRM), together referred to as a La-module, but vary in mem ...
