Fabrication of Nanostructured Kaolinite Doped Composite Films from Silicone Rubber with Enhanced Properties
(MDPI, 2019-05-12)
Naturally occurring nanomaterials are finding growing interests in tailoring properties of engineering polymers for advanced applications. The objective of this study was to develop environment-friendly nanocomposite films ...
Wilson lines and Chern-Simons flux in explicit heterotic Calabi-Yau compactifications
(Springer, 2015-02-27)
We study to what extent Wilson lines in heterotic Calabi-Yau compactifications lead to non-trivial H-flux via Chern-Simons terms. Wilson lines are basic ingredients for Standard Model constructions but their induced H-flux ...
A Calabi-Yau database: threefolds constructed from the Kreuzer-Skarke list
(Springer, 2015-02-25)
Kreuzer and Skarke famously produced the largest known database of Calabi-Yau threefolds by providing a complete construction of all 473,800,776 reflexive polyhedra that exist in four dimensions [1]. These polyhedra describe ...
Reassessing the sensitivity to leptonic CP violation
(Springer, 2015-03-02)
We address the validity of the usual procedure to determine the sensitivity of neutrino oscillation experiments to CP violation. An explicit calibration of the test statistic is performed through Monte Carlo simulations ...
Improved measurements of the neutrino mixing angle theta(13) with the Double Chooz detector
(Springer, 2014-10-14)
The Double Chooz experiment presents improved measurements of the neutrino mixing angle theta(13) using the data collected in 467.90 live days from a detector positioned at an average distance of 1050m from two reactor ...
Measurement of time-dependent CP violation in B 0 → η′K 0 decays
(Springer, 2014-10-29)
We present a measurement of the time-dependent CP violation parameters in B0 -> eta'K-0 decays. The measurement is based on the full data sample containing 772 x 10(6) B (B) over bar pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S) ...
Hormones as “difference makers” in cognitive and socioemotional aging processes
(Frontiers, 2015-01-22)
Aging is associated with well-recognized alterations in brain function, some of which are reflected in cognitive decline. While less appreciated, there is also considerable evidence of socioemotional changes later in life, ...
Encoding of goal-relevant stimuli is strengthened by emotional arousal in memory
(Frontiers, 2015-08-10)
Emotional information receives preferential processing, which facilitates adaptive strategies for survival. However, the presence of emotional stimuli and the arousal they induce also influence how surrounding non-emotional ...
Combining dark matter detectors and electron-capture sources to hunt for new physics in the neutrino sector
(Springer, 2014-11-10)
In this letter we point out the possibility to study new physics in the neutrino sector using dark matter detectors based on liquid xenon. These are characterized by very good spatial resolution and extremely low thresholds ...
Negative functional coupling between the right fronto-parietal and limbic resting state networks predicts increased self-control and later substance use onset in adolescence
(Elsevier, 2016-06-17)
Recent developmental brain imaging studies have demonstrated that negatively coupled prefrontal-limbic circuitry implicates the maturation of brain development in adolescents. Using resting-state functional magnetic resonance ...
