Afterglow is an important phenomenon in luminescent materials and can be desired (e.g., persistent phosphors) or undesired (e.g., scintillators). Understanding and predicting afterglow is often based on analysis of thermally stimulated luminescence ...

The main target of this thesis is to use density functional theory (DFT)-based simulations to study electrochemical CO2 reduction reactions (CO2RR) on transition metal oxides (TMOs) employing thermochemical model and computational hydrogen electrode. ...

In order to accurately anticipate the proficiency of downdraft biomass gasification linked with a water–gas shift unit to produce biohydrogen, a model based on an artificial neural network (ANN) approach is established to estimate the specific mass ...

Converting CO2 into value-added products via hydrogenation is of interest due to its potential to reduce and reuse excess atmospheric CO2 and deal with global warming. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are of great interest in this conversion process due ...

The core objective of VALUMICS project www.valumics.eu is to develop approaches and tools to analyse the structure, dynamics, resilience and impact of food chains on food security, economic development and the environment. This article presents the ...

The population dynamics of marine fish are driven by many top-down and bottom-up processes operating across multiple life-history stages. The majority of teleosts produce large quantities of offspring which experience high mortality rates early in ...

Therapeutic vaccination offers great promise as an intervention for a diversity of infectious and non-infectious conditions. Given that most chronic health conditions are thought to have an immune component, vaccination can at least in principle be ...

Molards have been defined in the past as conical mounds of debris that can form part of a landslide's deposits. We present the first conclusive evidence that molards in permafrost terrains are cones of loose debris that result from thawing of frozen ...

As industries expand in sub-Arctic and Arctic waters there are increased conflicts between these industries and cetaceans. The aim of this work was to investigate the issue of cetacean bycatch/entanglement in Iceland, with a particular focus on the ...

Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) is an asymptomatic disorder caused by the accumulation of monoclonal immunoglobulin secreting cells in the bone marrow. The main clinical implication of MGUS is that it’s the precursor of multiple ...
