Film clips are an important tool for evoking emotional responses in the laboratory. When compared with other emotionally potent visual stimuli (e.g., pictures), film clips seem to be more effective in eliciting emotions for longer periods of time at both the subjective and physiological levels. The main objective of the present study was to develop a new database of affective film clips without...

Suicide attempt linked to breakdown he Golgi apparatus breaks down temporarily to segregate into daughter cells during mitosis, but during apoptosis the organelle fragments irreversibly. On page 637, Chiu et al. report that cleavage of a critical tethering protein during apoptosis not only drives the fragmentation of the Golgi apparatus, but also appears to help propagate the apoptotic signal. ...

Fatigue crack growth in different panels, made of AA6156 T6, was investigated experimentally and numerically. Three types panels were used, simple one, so-called base metal (BM), panel with 4 welded stringers 3 clips. Experimental investigation indicated benefits stringers, especially respect to residual life, since the number cycles more than doubled (420 Kcyc vs 195 for initial length 14 mm),...

Introduction Low dose rate brachytherapy sources have been widely used for interstitial implants in tumor sites, particularly in prostate. Dosimetric characteristics of a new IrSeed 125I brachytherapy source have been determined using the LiF thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) chips. Materials and Methods Dose rate constant, radial dose function, and anisotropy function around the IrSeed 125I so...

When we look at our hands we are immediately aware that they belong to us and we rarely doubt about the integrity, continuity and sense of ownership of our bodies. Here we explored whether the mere manipulation of the visual appearance of a virtual limb could influence the subjective feeling of ownership and the physiological responses (Skin Conductance Responses, SCRs) associated to a threaten...
