Textiles are a vital and indispensable part of our clothing that we use daily.They are very flexible, often lightweight, and have a variety of application uses.Today, with the rapid developments in small and flexible sensing materials, textiles can be enhanced and used as input devices for interactive systems.Clothing-based wearable interfaces are
Dark matter self-interactions from spin-2 mediators
Abstract We propose a new Jersey mechanism for rendering dark matter self-interacting in the presence of a massive spin-2 mediator.The derived Yukawa-type potential for dark matter is independent of the spins of dark matter in the leading order of the momentum expansion, so are the resulting non-perturbative effects for the dark matter self-scatter
Why conspiracy theorists are not always paranoid: Conspiracy theories and paranoia form separate factors with distinct psychological predictors.
Paranoia and belief in conspiracy theories both involve suspiciousness about the intentions of others but have rarely been studied together.In three studies, one with a mainly student sample (N = 496) and two with more representative UK population samples (N = 1,519, N = 638) we compared single and two-factor BODY LOTION models of paranoia and cons
Effects of an Endocrine Disruptor Triclosan on Ruditapes decussatus: Multimarker and Histological Approaches
The aim of this Dairy Cheese work was to study the ecotoxicological effects of an endocrine disruptor triclosan on the clam Ruditapes decussatus.The bivalves were exposed to three concentrations of this biocide (C1 = 100 ng/L, C2 = 200 ng/L and C3 = 500 ng/L) for three and seven days.The impact was assessed at the gills and digestive glands, throug
