IntroductionThe ingestion of nanomaterials (NMs) may impair the intestinal barrier, but the underlying mechanisms remain evasive, and evidence has not been systematically gathered or produced.A mechanistic-based approach would be instrumental in assessing whether relevant NMs disrupt the intestinal barrier, thereby supporting the NM risk assessment
What if becoming information literate were an adventure? This question was posed in a keynote for the Top Creating Knowledge Conference 2021.It was answered in a thought piece by examining adventure-based ways to prepare students to be information literate adults through the principles and mechanisms that people find arousing and pleasurable and th

BackgroundThe high levels of variation characterising the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) molecule are due ultimately to its high average mutation rate; moreover, mtDNA variation is deeply structured in different populations and ethnic groups.There AAKG is growing interest in selecting a reduced number of mtDNA single nucleotide polymorphisms (mtSNPs) th
Image representations in the form of neural activations derived from intermediate layers of deep neural networks are the state-of-the-art descriptors for instance based retrieval.However, the problem that persists consists of how to retrieve identical images as the most relevant ones from a large image or video corpus.In this work, we introduce col
