Mobility of antifreeze proteins as a key factor in their use to control ice growth on surfaces and polymers by Laura Hoebus, Miisa J. Tavaststjerna, Santiago J. Garcia

“…Freezing experiments monitored through thermal imaging reveal that the degrees of freedom of the proteins significantly influence their functionality. Specifically, we demonstrate that when the degrees of freedom of anti-freeze proteins (AFPs) are restricted by their functionalization on surfaces using short linkers or when they are present in restricted volumes in polymers, they behave as ice-nucleating proteins (INPs) promoting ice accretion. …”

Time-Normalization Approach for fNIRS Data During Tasks with High Variability in Duration by Anna Falivene, Charlotte Johnson, Katrijn Klingels, Pieter Meyns, Evi Verbecque, Ann Hallemans, Emilia Biffi, Caterina Piazza, Alessandro Crippa

“…In such cases, the trials’ duration may vary depending on the experimental conditions or the participant’s response, therefore a comparison of hemodynamic responses across repetitions cannot be properly performed. In this work, we present a MATLAB (R2023a) function (<i>TaskNorm.m</i>) developed for time-normalizing fNIRS data recorded during trials with different durations. …”
