Determine Factors of NFC Mobile Payment Continuous Adoption in Shopping Malls
Near Field Communication (NFC) mobile payment systems allow users to utilize services through smartphones. There is insufficient literature exploring the adoption of NFC with payment scenarios in developing countries. This study...
Person-task fit:

We investigated how people high (vs. low) in the Need for Cognitive Closure (NFC) experience working on divergent and convergent thinking tasks. Based on the notion of person-task fit, we hypothesized that individuals high in...

The role of affective and cognitive individual differences in social perception
Three studies explored the connection between social perception processes and individual differences in the use of affective and cognitive information in relation to attitudes. Study 1 revealed that individuals high in need for...

Affective and cognitive orientations in group perception
Three studies examined the role of Need for Affect (NFA) and Need for Cognition (NFC) in intergroup perception. We hypothesized that NFA predicts a preference for stereotypically warm groups over stereotypically cold groups...

Fine-scale computations for adaptive processing in the human brain
Adapting to the environment statistics by reducing brain responses to repetitive sensory information is key for efficient information processing. Yet, the fine-scale computations that support this adaptive processing in the...
Immunocapture of <i>Escherichia coli</i> in a fluoropolymer microcapillary array
Isabel P. Alves, Nuno Reis
Jan 25, 2019
This study presents novel experimental insights into the direct quantitation and immunocapture of bacteria cells in a fluoropolymer microcapillary array, using Escherichia coli as work model, a pathogen responsible for around...
Microfluidic smartphone quantitation of <i>Escherichia coli</i> in synthetic urine
Isabel P Alves, Nuno M Reis
Dec 01, 2019

In spite of the clinical need, there is a major gap in rapid diagnostics for identification and quantitation of E. coli and other pathogens, also regarded as the biggest bottleneck in the fight against the spread of...

A high-throughput multi-microfluidic crystal generator (MMicroCryGen) platform for facile screening of polymorphism and crystal morphology for pharmaceutical compounds

In this work, a novel multi-microfluidic crystallization platform called MMicroCryGen is presented, offering a facile methodology for generating individual crystals for fast and easy screening of the polymorphism and crystal...

Antibody Surface Coverage Drives Matrix Interference in Microfluidic Capillary Immunoassays

The performance of biosensors is often optimized in buffers, which brings inconsistencies during applications with biological samples. Current strategies for minimizing sample (matrix) interference are complex to automate and...

Analysis of an iteration method for the algebraic Riccati equation
We consider a recently published method for solving algebraic Riccati equations. We present a new perspective on this method in terms of the underlying linear-quadratic optimal control problem: we prove that the matrix obtained...
The ADI method for bounded real and positive real Lur'e equations
We propose an algorithm for the numerical solution of the Lur'e equations in the bounded real and positive real lemma for stable systems. The algorithm provides approximate solutions in low-rank factored form. We prove that the...

High order splitting methods for SDEs satisfying a commutativity condition

In this paper, we introduce a new simple approach to developing and establishing the convergence of splitting methods for a large class of stochastic differential equations (SDEs), including additive, diagonal, and scalar...

Transparent, Hydrophobic Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene Offers Rapid, Robust, and Irreversible Passive Adsorption of Diagnostic Antibodies for Sensitive Optical Biosensing

Current literature data is scarce and somehow contradictory in respect to the suitability of "nonstick" fluoropolymer surfaces for immobilization of biomolecules. We have previously shown empirically that transparent Teflon...

A lower bound for the balanced truncation error for MIMO systems
Mark Opmeer, Timo Reis
Jul 24, 2015
We show that for a class of systems which includes state space symmetric systems, the balanced truncation error is bounded from below by twice the sum of the tail of the Hankel singular values (including multiplicities) divided...
