A new spin for oxide interfaces
The variety of emergent phenomena occurring at oxide interfaces has made these systems the focus of intense study in recent years. We argue that spin–orbit effects in oxide interfaces provide a versatile handl...

Open AccessCirculating CCL20 as a New Biomarker of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
Autoimmunity appears to play a role in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) pathology. Although the chemokine CCL20 has been involved in autoimmune diseases, its relationship with the pathogenesis of AAA is unclear...

Open AccessGiant magnetoresistance in lateral metallic nanostructures for spintronic applications
In this letter, we discuss the shift observed in spintronics from the current-perpendicular-to-plane geometry towards lateral geometries, illustrating the new opportunities offered by this configuration. Using...

Open AccessEvidence for spin-to-charge conversion by Rashba coupling in metallic states at the Fe/Ge(111) interface
The spin–orbit coupling relating the electron spin and momentum allows for spin generation, detection and manipulation. It thus fulfils the three basic functions of the spin field-effect transistor. However, t...

Highly efficient and tunable spin-to-charge conversion through Rashba coupling at oxide interfaces
The spin–orbit interaction couples the electrons’ motion to their spin. As a result, a charge current running through a material with strong spin–orbit coupling generates a transverse spin current (spin Hall e...

The nature of domain walls in ultrathin ferromagnets revealed by scanning nanomagnetometry
The capacity to propagate magnetic domain walls with spin-polarized currents underpins several schemes for information storage and processing using spintronic devices. A key question involves the internal stru...

Open AccessElementary depinning processes of magnetic domain walls under fields and currents
The probability laws associated to domain wall depinning under fields and currents have been studied in NiFe and FePt nanowires. Three basic domain wall depinning processes, associated to different potential l...

Spin-to-charge conversion using Rashba coupling at the interface between non-magnetic materials
The Rashba effect is an interaction between the spin and the momentum of electrons induced by the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in surface or interface states. Its potential for conversion between charge and spin ...

Non-adiabatic spin-torques in narrow magnetic domain walls
There is considerable debate over the size and direction of the non-adiabatic component of the spin-torque generated when a current flows across a domain wall in a ferromagnet. Measurements of this property in...

Immediate peritoneal response to bacterial contamination during laparoscopic surgery
Several studies have shown that laparoscopic surgery (LS) minimizes surgical trauma and the immune function is better preserved. Another major advantage of LS is the lower incidence of septic complications. Ho...

The inflammatory properties of electronegative low-density lipoprotein from type 1 diabetic patients are related to increased platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase activity
Chemical and biological characteristics of LDL(−) from type 1 diabetic subjects were analysed. The diabetic patients were studied during poor and optimised glycaemic control.

Incidence of Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus in Catalonia, Spain
The incidence of Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus was prospectively evaluated in Catalonia, Spain in patients up to 30 years of age during the period 1987–1990. The population at risk (0–29 years) ...

Metabolism of exogenous arachidonic acid by polymorphonuclear leukocytes from psoriatic patients
We evaluated the metabolism of exogenous arachidonic acid in polymorphonuclear leukocytes from psoriatic patients in comparison with those from normal subjects. The leukocytes were incubated with 10 ΜM labelled a...

Correlations between cytogenetics and morphology in myelodysplastic syndromes
In order to detect possible relationships between cytogenetic abnormalities and morphologic features in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), 48 patients with MDS were investigated. Clonal cytogenetic abnormalities...
