Aging of piezoelectric properties was investigated in lead-free (1 - x)(Bi1/2Na1/2)TiO3-xBaTiO(3) doped with 1at.% Fe. The relaxor character of the un-poled material prevents macroscopic aging effects, while in the field-induced ferroelectric phase aging p ...
We come to understand other people's physical and mental states by re-mapping their bodily states onto our sensorimotor system. This process, also called somatosensory resonance, is an essential ability for social cognition and is stronger when observing i ...
Visual backward masking (VBM) deficits are a potential endophenotype of schizophrenia. VBM deficits were found in schizophrenic patients, in their unaffected relatives, and in healthy students scoring high in "cognitive disorganisation" (CD; Cappe et al., ...
Rain gauges provide valuable information about the amount and frequency of rainfall. In Australia, the majority of rain gauges are located in populated, wet coastal regions. Approximately 2000 gauges reporting within 24 h of a target day were used to make ...
Measuring time delays between the multiple images of gravitationally lensed quasars is now recognized as a competitive way to constrain the cosmological parameters, and it is complementary with other cosmological probes. This requires long and well sampled ...
Despite numerous efforts in developing glare indices through human assessment studies, predicting visual comfort in indoor environments still poses important challenges in design. A major limitation in discomfort glare indices is that they all ignore its d ...
During mental rotation (MR) of body parts, people internally simulate the movement of their corresponding body segments. These sensory-motor mechanisms render MR sensitive to proprioceptive information (e.g., posture). Similar mechanisms can alter illusory ...
In the study of nonconscious processing, different methods have been used in order to render stimuli invisible. While their properties are well described, the level at which they disrupt nonconscious processing remains unclear. Yet, such accurate estimatio ...
The NextGen project investigates disease resistance in indigenous Ugandan cattle. Since population structure and stratification may produce biased results, We have investigated the genomic structure of sampled animals genotyped with the BovineSNP50 Genotyp ...
This paper reports experimental studies using the photoelectrocatalytic effect to eliminate a fundamental limit of photocatalysis - the recombination of photo-excited electrons and holes. The fabricated reactor has a planar reaction chamber (10 x 10 x 0.1 ...
