Phase Diagram, Glassy Dynamics and Crystallization Kinetics of the Biobased Polyester Poly(ethylene 2,5-furanoate) (PEF).

We report the pressure-temperature (-) phase diagram, the origin of the subglass dynamics, and the crystallization kinetics of the biobased polyester poly(ethylene 2,5-furanoate) (PEF), through dielectric spectroscopy (DS) measurements performed as a function of temperature and pressure. The phase diagram comprises four different "phases"; glass, quenched melt, crystalline, and normal melt. The cold crystallization temperature, , increases linearly with pressure (according to the Clausius-Clapeyron equation) as / ∼ 240 K·GPa and is accompanied by a small change in specific volume (Δ = 0.

Super-resolution ultrasound imaging of ischaemia flow: An in silico study.

Super-resolution ultrasound (SRU) is a new ultrasound imaging mode that promises to facilitate the detection of microvascular disease by providing new vascular bio-markers that are directly linked to microvascular pathophysiology, thereby augmenting current knowledge and potentially enabling new treatment. Such a capability can be developed through thorough understanding as articulated by means of mathematical models. In this study, a 2D numerical flow model is adopted for generating flow adaptation in response to ischaemia, in order to determine the ability of SRU to register the resulting flow perturbations.

Aberrant encoding of event saliency in the orbitofrontal cortex following loss of the psychiatric-associated circular RNA, circHomer1.

CircHomer1 is an activity-dependent circular RNA (circRNA) isoform produced from back-splicing of the Homer1 transcript. Homer1 isoforms are well-known regulators of homeostatic synaptic plasticity through post-synaptic density scaffold regulation. Homer1 polymorphisms have been associated with psychiatric diseases including schizophrenia (SCZ) and bipolar disorder (BD).
