Combined Physiotherapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Functional Movement Disorders: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Importance: Functional movement disorders (FMDs) are frequent and disabling neurological disorders with a substantial socioeconomic impact. Few randomized studies have analyzed the effectiveness of combined physiotherapy and psychotherapy in patients' quality of life.

Objective: To assess the efficacy of multidisciplinary treatment (physiotherapy plus cognitive behavioral therapy) in FMDs.

3D simulation of conductive nanofilaments in multilayer h-BN memristors a circuit breaker approach.

A 3D simulation of conductive nanofilaments (CNFs) in multilayer hexagonal-BN memristors is performed. To do so, a simulation tool based on circuit breakers is developed including for the first time a 3D resistive network. The circuit breakers employed can be modeled with two, three and four resistance states; in addition, a series resistance and a module to account for quantum effects, by means of the quantum point contact model, are also included.

Optical Absorption in N-Dimensional Colloidal Quantum Dot Arrays: Influence of Stoichiometry and Applications in Intermediate Band Solar Cells.

We present a theoretical atomistic study of the optical properties of non-toxic InX (X = P, As, Sb) colloidal quantum dot arrays for application in photovoltaics. We focus on the electronic structure and optical absorption and on their dependence on array dimensionality and surface stoichiometry motivated by the rapid development of experimental techniques to achieve high periodicity and colloidal quantum dot characteristics. The homogeneous response of colloidal quantum dot arrays to different light polarizations is also investigated.

Band-like transport in "green" quantum dot films: The effect of composition and stoichiometry.

Two-dimensional quantum dot (QD) arrays are considered as promising candidates for a wide range of applications that heavily rely on their transport properties. Existing QD films, however, are mainly made of either toxic or heavy-metal-based materials, limiting their applications and the commercialization of devices. In this theoretical study, we provide a detailed analysis of the transport properties of "green" colloidal QD films (In-based and Ga-based), identifying possible alternatives to their currently used toxic counterparts.

Design and fabrication of CuInS/ZnS-based QLED for automotive lighting systems.

This work reports the design, manufacturing and numerical simulation approach of a 6-pixel (4.5 mm/pixel) electroluminescent quantum dot light emitting device (QLED) based on CuInS/ZnS quantum dots as an active layer. The QLED device was fabricated using a conventional multi-layer thin film deposition.
