Recently, the possibilities of detecting psychosocial stress from speech have been discussed. Yet, there are mixed effects and a current lack of clarity in relations and directions for parameters derived from stressed speech. The aim of the current study is - in a controlled psychosocial stress induction experiment - to apply network modeling to (1...
AIM(S): The aim of the study was to fabricate a nanospike surface on a titanium alloy surface using a newly established method of low-energy helium ion bombardment. Various methods to achieve nanospike formation on titanium have been introduced recently, and their antibacterial properties have been mainly investigated with respect to Escherichia co...
In this article, we propose a novel solution for nonconvex problems of multiple variables, especially for those typically solved by an alternating minimization (AM) strategy that splits the original optimization problem into a set of subproblems corresponding to each variable and then iteratively optimizes each subproblem using a fixed updating rul...
The net effective temperature (NET), an index that includes the combined effects of temperature, humidity, and wind, was used along with temperature to assess the impacts of climate change on the heat stress perception in East Asia, one of the regions considered most vulnerable to heat stress. The need for dynamic downscaling has been emphasized be...
Charge carriers in Dirac/Weyl semi-metals exhibit a relativistic-like behavior. In this work we propose a novel type of intrinsic half-integer Quantum Hall effect in 2D materials, thereby also offering a topological protection mechanism for the current. Its existence is rooted in the 2D parity anomaly, without any need for a perpendicular magnetic ...
A direct search for electroweak production of charginos and neutralinos is presented. Events with three or four leptons, with up to two hadronically decaying τ leptons, or two same-sign light leptons are analyzed. The data sample consists of 137 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions with a center of mass energy of 13 TeV, recorded with the CMS detector ...

Results are presented from a search for physics beyond the standard model in proton-proton collisions at s√ = 13 TeV in channels with two Higgs bosons, each decaying via the process H → bb¯¯¯, and large missing transverse momentum. The search uses a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 137 fb−1 collected by the CMS experiment at...

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the anterior nucleus of the thalamus (ANT) has been widely used as an effective treatment for refractory temporal lobe epilepsy. Despite its promising clinical outcome, the exact mechanism of how ANT-DBS alleviates seizure severity has not been fully understood, especially at the cellular level. To assess effects of ...
