Live Birth of a Healthy Child in a Couple with Identical mtDNA Carrying a Pathogenic c.471_477delTTTAAAAinsG Variant in the MOCS2 Gene

Molybdenum cofactor deficiency type B (MOCODB; #252160) is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder that has only been described in 37 affected patients. In this report, we describe the presence of an in-frame homozygous variant (c.471_477delTTTAAAAinsG) ...

Kinesthetic motor-imagery training improves performance on lexical-semantic access

Sylvain Jean-François Harquel

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of Motor Imagery (MI) training on language comprehension. In line with literature suggesting an intimate relationship between the language and the motor system, we proposed that a MI-training could imp ...

Analysing the effects of residential mobility behaviours on the composition of personal network in Switzerland

Vincent Kaufmann, Guillaume Simon Joseph Drevon, Gil Viry

Individual life courses are marked by residential mobility often associated with family and workplace changes and therefore likely to be related to the types of personal relationships people develop and maintain. Evidence about the relationship between res ...

Rethinking student-teacher relationships in higher education: a multidimensional approach

Roland John Tormey

Student-teacher relationships play an important role in both teacher and student experiences in higher education and have been found to be linked to learning, classroom management, and to student absenteeism. Although historically conceptualised in terms o ...

Local excitations in amorphous solids

Wencheng Ji

Amorphous solids are structurally disordered. They are very common and include glasses, colloids, and granular materials, but are far less understood than crystalline solids. Key aspects of these materials are controlled by the presence of excitations in w ...

China’s construction industry-linked economy-resources-environment flow in international trade

Qinli Lu

During construction, a large number of resources are consumed; concurrently, a large amount of greenhouse gas is emitted, which contributes to air pollution. There exist close interactions among construction regions. This study examined the main economy-re ...

Integrative decision-making strategy for fluvial neighborhoods in transition

Emmanuel Rey, Martine Laprise, Sara Sonia Formery Regazzoni

The changing relationships between cities and their waters over the centuries lead today – after a clear sidelining of rivers in the city – to question their potential for building new interactions. Current densification objectives of the existing built fa ...

Theory for the density of interacting quasilocalized modes in amorphous solids

Matthieu Wyart, Thomas Willem Jan de Geus, Marko Popovic, Wencheng Ji

Quasilocalized modes appear in the vibrational spectrum of amorphous solids at low frequency. Though never formalized, these modes are believed to have a close relationship with other important local excitations, including shear transformations and two-lev ...

Meandering particle bunches and a link between averages of time series of particle counts and higher-order moments

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Paolo Ricci, Marcelo Baquero Ruiz, Fabian Manke

Time-averaged spatially resolved measurements are used in many fields of physics to determine spatial distributions of a physical quantity. Although one could think that time averaging suppresses all information on time variation, there are some situations ...

Modeling knee osteoarthritis pathophysiology using an integrated joint system (IJS): a systematic review of relationships among cartilage thickness, gait mechanics, and subchondral bone mineral density

Julien Favre, Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli

Objective: To introduce an integrated joint system (IJS) model of joint health and osteoarthritis (OA) pathophysiology through a systematic review of the cross-sectional relationships among three knee properties (cartilage thickness, gait mechanics, and su ...

Short-range phase coherence and origin of the 1T-TiSe2 charge density wave

Helmuth Berger

The impact of variable Ti self-doping on the 1T-TiSe2 charge density wave (CDW) is studied by scanning tunneling microscopy. Supported by density functional theory, we show that agglomeration of intercalated-Ti atoms acts as preferential nucleation centers ...
