We investigated the Michelangelo effect, i.e.the facilitatory effect of a virtual art therapy in motor rehabilitation (Iosa et al.2021), with a novel virtual reality paradigm in which users are engaged in motor exercises with 3D sculptures.In particular, thirty young adults were immersed in a virtual environment where they could sculpt, by using th
Exploiting Necroptosis for Therapy of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Escape Hydrating Serum from chemotherapy-induced apoptosis is a hallmark of drug resistance in cancer.The recent identification of alternative programmed cell death pathways opens up for possibilities to circumvent the apoptotic blockade in drug resistant cancer and eliminate malignant cells.Indeed, we have recently shown that programmed necrosis,
Behavior of higher-order MDD on energy ratios at the interface of thermoelastic and piezothermoelastic mediums
Abstract This paper investigates the intricate energy distribution patterns emerging at an orthotropic piezothermoelastic half-space interface by considering the influence of a higher-order three-phase lags heat conduction law, accompanied by memory-dependent derivatives (referred to as HPS) within the underlying thermoelastic half-space (referred
Reading and writing academic practices in the phonoaudiology program at the University of Cauca
This article presents some results of Quickstrikes an investigation aimed to characterize the academic literacy practices that are developed in the Phonoaudiology program at the University of Cauca.In this descriptive study, a sample of 24 students was taken from those in the last semester of the first academic period of 2009, who answered a survey
Effect of Different Primings on Germination and Growth Parameters of Rice (Oryza sativa) Seeds during Drought Stress, as Compared with Silver Nanoparticles
The present study sought to compare the effect of seed priming by hydropriming, ascorbate and calcium chloride (CaCl2) versus different concentrations of silver nanoparticles on two Iranian rice cultivars (Hashemi and Shiroodi) under drought stress.The experimental design, which was factorial, was completely randomized.The first factor was control
