The niobium oxide dihalides have recently been identified as a new class of van der Waals materials exhibiting exceptionally large second-order nonlinear optical responses and robust in-plane ferroelectricity.In contrast to second-order nonlinear processes, third-order optical nonlinearities can arise irrespective of whether a crystal lattice is ce
Abstract Background Endothelial cells have been shown to mediate angiogenesis in ischemic injury sites and contribute to the repair of damaged tissues.However, the treatment of ischemic disease requires a significant number of endothelial cells, which are difficult to isolate from patients.Embryonic stem cells have been considered a potential sourc
Mycosis fungoides is one of the great imitators in dermatology; it can mimic many dermatoses.Nevoid hyperkeratosis of the nipple and areola is a rare idiopathic disease with typical clinical features of verrucous thickening and brownish discoloration of the nipple, areola or both.Here, a 16-year-old male patient with mycosis fungoides mimicking nev
In the sophie allport zebra field of thermal systems, different approaches and methodologies have been proposed to merge thermodynamics and economics.They are usually referred as thermoeconomic methodologies and their objective is to find the optimum design of the thermal system given a specific objective function.Some thermoeconomic analyses go be
People tend to adapt the amount of their food intake to that of others around them.This so-called gotrax handlebar social modeling of eating has been extensively studied over the past decades.The current study complements these experiments and aims to investigate social modeling of healthy food intake using a video paradigm in which a virtual model
