With the rise of digital humanities, historians explore how to intellectually engage with textual sources given the available computational tools of today. The ENP-China project employs Natural Language Processing methods to tap into sources of unprecedented scale with the goal to study the transformation of elites in Modern China (1830-1949). One ...
Average atom (AA) models allow one to efficiently compute electronic and optical properties of materials over a wide range of conditions and are often employed to interpret experimental data. However, at high pressure, predictions from AA models have been shown to disagree with results from ab initio computer simulations. Here we reconcile these de...
Functional connectivity studies allow the investigation of functional interactions that occur in the brain when perception, cognition and action are required. Nowadays these techniques are mainly applied on fMRI (functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging) and MEG (Magnetoencephalography) data to retrieve brain networks, represented as maps where neuron...
High-mass microquasars (HMMQs) are systems from which relativistic jets are launched. At the scales of several times the binary system size, the jets are expected to follow a helical path caused by the interaction with a strong stellar wind and orbital motion. Such a trajectory has its influence on the non-thermal emission of the jets, which also d...

Daily step count is the simplest measure of physical activity. However, little is known about how daily step count related to time spent in different intensities of physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB). These cross-sectional data were derived from 450 older Japanese adults (56.7% men; mean age, 74.3 years) who were randomly selected f...
Although spectral surveys and spacecraft missions provide information on small bodies, many important analyses can only be performed in terrestrial laboratories. For now, the total number of parent bodies represented in our meteorites collection is estimated to about 150 parent bodies, of which 50 parent bodies represented by the poorly studied ung...
The age of iron meteorites implies that accretion of protoplanets began during the first millions of years of the solar system. Due to the heat generated by 26Al decay, many early protoplanets were fully differentiated with an igneous crust produced during the cooling of a magma ocean and the segregation at depth of a metallic core. The formation a...

Spirometry is the foundational pulmonary function test (PFT) to monitor general respiratory health. It is used for evaluating abnormal respiratory symptoms, for diagnosing of obstructive airway diseases like chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) and asthma, for monitoring response to therapeutic intervention and disease management, for assessing ...
