Optically detected magnetic resonance spectroscopic analyses on the role of magnetic ions in colloidal nanocrystals by Dehnel, Joanna, Harchol, Adi, Barak, Yahel, Meir, Itay, Horani, Faris, Shapiro, Arthur, Strassberg, Rotem, de Mello Donegá, Celso, Demir, Hilmi Volkan, Gamelin, Daniel R., Sharma, Kusha, Lifshitz, Efrat

“…The information extracted from the analyses of the ODMR spectra in those studies exposes fundamental physical parameters, such as g-factors, exchange coupling constants, and hyperfine interactions, together providing insights into the nature of the carrier (electron, hole, dopant), its local surroundings (isotropic/anisotropic), and spin dynamics. The findings illuminate the importance of ODMR spectroscopy in advancing our understanding of the role of magnetic ions in semiconductor nanocrystals and offer valuable knowledge for designing magnetic materials intended for various spin-related technologies.…”

Motor adaptation with passive machines: A first study on the effect of real and virtual stiffness by Tommasino, Paolo, Melendez-Calderon, A., Burdet, E., Campolo, Domenico

“…In particular, we tested 20 healthy subjects under two different real stiffness conditions (Stiff Channel vs Compliant Channel) and two different virtual conditions (Viscous vs Springy). Our main finding is that compliance of the channel favours a better adaptation featured with less lateral errors and longer retention of the after-effect. …”

Modeling the change of beach profile under tsunami waves : a comparison of selected sediment transport models by Li, Linlin, Huang, Zhenhua

“…For real tsunamis, high suspended sediment concentration may occur, and density stratification and hindered settling effect play an important role; therefore, Delft3D, with both hindered settling and density stratification being considered, may perform better than XBeach. The findings reported here will be useful for researchers and practitioners working on tsunami hazard mitigation.…”

Use of Mid Upper-Arm Circumference (MUAC) as screening tool in an urban township in the Eastern Cape: rationale for testing changed cut-off values to identify malnutrition by McLaren, Shawn, Steenkamp, Liana, Venter, Danie

“…The least squares regression formula (Y = 15.409 + 0.803x (males); Y = 15.13 + 0.83x (females)) was then used to predict where WHZ = -2 is most likely to correspond with a MUAC value in cm. The new predicted MUAC values of 13.8 cm (males) and 13.5 cm (females) were subsequently tested for sensitivity and specificity. …”
