Relativistic and Dynamic effects in Computational NMR Spectroscopy of transition-metal complexes

The current proposal aims to established a computational protocol for the rational calculation of NMR parameters in transition-metal complexes by accurately taking into consideration relativistic effects and conformational dynamics. Despite the advances attained in theoretical chemistry methods, ...

SPatial variability and Implications of the Timing of FIsh Responses to the Environment

Prediction of fish production is hindered by the lack of high-resolved data, and the complexity of the bio-physical systems affecting fish survival. A key factor determining the survival of larval fish is the relationship between predator recruitment and prey-predator overlap (match-mismatch hypo...

Affirmative Post-Cinema: Narrative and Aesthetic Responses to Gender and Power

The power dynamics and the effects of gender on social, spatial and political behaviour have regained major interest in public debates in the last years. If media (and new media) play an important role in relaying this debate, it does also in producing and reinforcing normative gendered practices...

The Unknown Science: Understanding the Epistemology of Logic through Practice

We take ourselves to know certain logical claims, for example that no contradictions are true. However, we currently fail to have an adequate account of how we possess logical knowledge. Historical attempts to explain this knowledge, such as appeals to intuition, have been found to be ultimately ...

Transgenic dissection of the neural circuitry of memory and dementia

Our memories are arguably what make us who we are, making dementia a particularly cruel disease. Decades of research have revealed that two interconnected brain regions, the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) and hippocampus (HP), are required for successful spatial memory formation in mammals. Each ...

Network representations of contextual memory in a neocortical circuit

How are memories formed and how do we remember them? Despite decades of memory research, these are still unanswered questions. There is consensus that the hippocampus is a key circuit for forming new memories. According to the classical model, memories that initially depend on the hippocampus, ma...
