Words that are more predictable given a previous context show facilitated processing over low predictable ones. Such facilitation has been traditionally viewed as associated with reduced amplitudes in the N400 component. However, this effect is observed during the presentation of the target word, and it does not provide direct information about the prediction processes engaged before. To overco...

Collagen is extensively used in fabrication of hydrogels for biomedical applications but needs improvement after its isolation from tissues due to slow gelation and poor mechanical properties. Crosslinking could tailor such has previously been crosslinked by chemical or photochemical methods. Chemical crosslinkers are often toxic, the crosslinking reaction difficult control. Photochemical usual...

The dimensional stability and rheological properties of a series of comb-like copolymers of N-isopropyl acrylamide (NIPAAm) and methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate (mPEGMA), poly(NIPAAm-co-mPEGMA), with varying poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) graft densities and molecular weights were studied. The thermoresponsive character of the copolymer solutions was investigated by kinetic and equilibri...
