Traditional contact tracing is one of the most powerful weapons people have in the battle against a pandemic, especially when vaccines do not yet exist or do not afford complete protection from infection. But the effectiveness of contact tracing hinges on ...
SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD2023Laser-guided lightning using kHz filamentation at 1030 nm
Marcos Rubinstein, Antonio Sunjerga, Amirhossein Mostajabi, Jonathan Leon Wolf
Controlling lightning is a long-time dream of mankind. Along with the rapid evolution of laser technologies, the idea to develop lightning protection based on filamentation of high-power ultrashort-pulse lasers emerged in the 1990s [1]. The goal of the Las ...
2023Encountering cultures of making in China: narratives and practices of co-creative communities
Recent policies such as “made in China 2025” or “mass makerspaces” implemented by the Chinese government aim to transform China’s image from “the world’s factory to a creative powerhouse” to be recognized as an “innovation-oriented nation” (Wang 2016). Thi ...

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, Huaijian Zhang, Lucian Andrei Gheorghe, Zahra Khaliliardali
Intelligent cars exploit environmental information to support drivers by providing extra information and assisting complex maneouvers. They can also take into account the internal state of the driver by means of decoding cognition-related brain activity. H ...
Graz University of Technology Publishing House2013Evidence that the Lunar Cycle Influences Human Sleep
Endogenous rhythms of circalunar periodicity (similar to 29.5 days) and their underlying molecular and genetic basis have been demonstrated in a number of marine species [1, 2]. In contrast, there is a great deal of folklore but no consistent association o ...
Elsevier2013Sleep paralysis in narcolepsy: more than just a motor dissociative phenomenon?
Sleep paralyses are viewed as pure motor phenomena featured by a dissociated state in which REM-related muscle atonia coexists with a wakefulness state of full consciousness. We present a 59-year-old man diagnosed with narcolepsy experiencing sleep paralys ...
