The effects of anodal transcranial direct current stimulation on psychological factors in athletes: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract Objective Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a safe, non-invasive neuromodulation method that delivers a low-intensity, constant direct current through electrodes positioned on the scalp. Therefore, the purpose of th...

Neural circuitry governing anxious individuals’ mis-allocation of working memory to threat

Abstract Dispositional anxiety is a trait-like phenotype that confers increased risk for a range of debilitating neuropsychiatric disorders. Like many patients with anxiety disorders, individuals with elevated levels of dispositional anxiet...

Thematic structure of clinically oriented prefrontal function assessment and intervention research: a keyword network analysis

Abstract Background The prefrontal cortex (PFC) has been extensively investigated in relation to higher-order cognition, emotional regulation, and behavioural control, particularly within clinically oriented studies addressing psychiatric s...

Malay and Cebuano ditransitives: A minimalist perspective

In the tradition of the generative school of thought in linguistics, the Universal Grammar (UG) is in the forefront in shifting linguistics from behavioral to cognitive science making linguistics an integral part of the study of cognition (...

Psychological Components of Disease Stigma Across Illnesses: Associations with Cultural and Personal Factors

Understanding public stigma against patients (also known as disease stigma)—negative attitudes or discriminatory responses toward individuals with a disease—is essential for improving health outcomes and fostering inclusive communities. In ...

Identification of Lichen Based on Substrate in Bale Village, Tanantovea District, Donggala Regency

Lichens are associations between fungi and photosynthetic symbionts, such as algae or cyanobacteria, that form stable and specialized thallus structures. The fungi that predominantly compose the lichen body belong to the Ascomycetes, while ...

Glass-fiber catalysts for selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides by CO and hydrocarbons

Glass-fiber catalysts (GFCs) are investigated in the process of the catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides by hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide contained in waste and flue gases. Studies show that the platinum-based GFCs prepared by surface ...

Characterization of thermally treated polypropylene powders with wide sintering window for powder bed fusion of polymers

One key issue restricting semi-crystalline polymers to be widely applied in powder bed fusion (PBF) of polymers is lack of good powder processability, especially a wide sintering window. In this work, a thermal treatment method with mixed d...

Engineered Bacterial Cellulose Nanostructured Matrix for Incubation and Release of Drug-Loaded Oil in Water Nanoemulsion

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a highly pure form of cellulose produced by bacteria, which possesses numerous advantages such as good mechanical properties, high chemical flexibility, and the ability to assemble in nanostructures. Thanks to th...

Triple‐State Invisible Photonic Crystal Pattern Encrypted in Hollow‐Silica/Polyurethane Film for Anticounterfeiting Applications

An invisible photonic crystal (PC) pattern encrypted at the dry state and decrypted by solvent is a new anticounterfeiting material system, but its diversity and complexity in response are still required to be increased to enhance the antic...

Advances and Prospects of China's Premium Deepwater Drilling and Production Equipment

China is now witnessing vigorous offshore exploration and development， corresponding to an increasing demand for localized offshore equipment. To achieve the goal of high-quality development of premium offshore drilling and production equip...

Socioeconomic Determinants of Sustainable Technology Adoption and Its Influence on Brazilian Agricultural GVP

Brazil’s agricultural sector is characterized by persistent productive duality: a technologically advanced export-oriented segment coexists with a large stratum of smallholders generating low economic returns. Understanding the economic det...
