Experiences of youth in natural mentoring relationships: Qualitative exploratory study
Natural mentoring relationships (NMRs) can positively affect children's cognitive and socio-emotional development, well-being, and authentic agency.In addition, NMRs contribut...
Improving stress memory and salt tolerance in barley
The improvement of crop salt tolerance is a pressing agricultural challenge because salt stress poses a major threat to global food supply. The problem is topical in India where sa...
Ethnicity-Based Parenting for Child’s Online Safety/Risks
Ethnic vulnerability to risk factors, such as stigmatisation, is inhibitory to parental self-efficacy, either inflating or deflating their confidence in how much they are aware of...
Objectual Memory: Remembering Objects by Simulating the Past
Much attention in our theorizing about the mind has been devoted to episodic memory.In episodic memory, a subject remembers an event from their personal past in a way accompanied b...
Catalysis toward platinum substrates for drug delivery
Flavins can act as efficient photocatalysts for the conversion of Pt(IV) complexes into Pt(II) anticancer drugs such as cisplatin and carboplatin (Chem. Sci., 2017, 8, 4619; Angew....
Robustness in sparse random-like graphs
Sparse, highly connected, random-like graphs are currently a focal point in discrete mathematics, theoretical computer science and network science, motivated by the insight that ne...
Library of inedited bio-based multicomponent resins for the 3D-printing of self-healing, recyclable thermosets.
With the increasing concerns on the environmental issues and with the depletion of fossil-based resources, sustainable chemistries for the development of resins from bio-based mole...
Genetic contributions to inequality of opportunity
Equal access to college education is a hallmark of egalitarian societies.This is not the case in both the United Kingdom and United States: children from low income households with...
The role of functional redundancy on stability mechanisms in multi-level ecosystem processes face to climatic extremes
The present proposal, SMILE, aims to answer core questions on the current climatic and biodiversity crisis. Together with Dr.Francesco de Bello, a prominent authority on functional...
Interactions between chromatin and transposable elements in rapid adaptation to environmental stress
Understanding how organisms adapt to the environmental perturbations, including those caused by human activity, is a key question in evolutionary biology.Some organisms appear to a...
Modelling undiagnosed muscular dystrophies using patients's stem cells
Neuromuscular Diseases (NMDs), affecting both children and adults with a prevalence of 1 in a 1000 people, form a large and heterogeneous group of genetic diseases causing progress...
Nations Reversed. National Imaginaries, Images of Migration in Greece and Mexico
As migratory movements surge around the world, Greece and Mexico, two countries located at the doorstep of Europe and the United States, face the challenges of demographic changes....
Metabolites Inducers of Cross-tolerance to Biotic Stress
Ensuring food security and accessibility represents a global challenge since world population grows exponentially while crop quality and productivity is restricted by limitations o...
Mimicking the dynamic and complex ECM: designing bioprinted immune-instructive hydrogels
Tissue and organ shortage is the limiting factor in treating many patients with chronic organ failure and has led to over 18 patients deaths every day just in Europe.Recreating the...
Construction and Demolition Waste-based “Green” Demountable Structural Components
Generation of high volumes of construction and demolition waste (CDW) is seriously problematic from environmental, economic and societal perspectives.Furthermore, CDW is generally...
Computational Design of Materials for Photocatalytic Hydrogen Generation and Separation
Hydrogen energy is treated as a promising renewable green energy source for the worldwide growing energy demands. To produce this sustainable energy, photocatalytic water splitting...
Smart Proxy Models for Reservoir Simulation
Despite the progress in renewable energies, oil and gas remain the primary source of energy. Recovery from hydrocarbon reservoirs is subjected to three steps: primary, secondary an...
Transitioning to a Low Carbon Economy: Trade Unions and the Jobs Versus Environment Dilemma
Tackling the global crisis of human-induced climate change is the most urgent and immense challenge of the twenty-first century.To help surmount this challenge, the European Union...
Multi-Axial Magnetic Field RHEology
The full rheological response of magnetorheological (MR) fluids will be investigated under unsteady multiaxial magnetic fields for the first time. Such fields are able to drive the...
Historical East African Archaeology and Theory: A framework for historical archaeology and identity formation
HEAAT aims to develop a multidisciplinary, theory-focused and data-driven research framework and agenda for East African historical archaeology that will privilege the research of...
