Several economic models predict that effort may decline as retirement approaches. These models are reviewed and data from the University of Iceland used to measure how research productivity of members of staff depends on age. We find support for the ...

There is increased emphasis on donor engagement in the world’s poorest and most fragile states, but aid modalities tend to differ depending on the recipient countries’ governance. In fragile states, donors often bypass governments and collaborate with ...

The conventional magnetic proximity effect and double-proximity effects were studied in a set of fully coherent high-quality Fe/Fe0.32V0.68 superlattices. Applying a simple model to the saturation magnetization, it is seen that the magnetic proximity ...

Human economic activities and following carbon emissions have been recognized to be a real threat to the environment. The current levels of consumption-based carbon footprints in all developed economies grossly exceed the sustainable level. Scientists ...

Fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy is extensively used for the treatment of solid cancers, including colorectal cancer. However, fluoropyrimidine-driven toxicities are a major problem in the management of the disease. The grade and type of the ...

In this study we have developed biodegradable polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) containing the cytostatic drugs mertansine (MRT) or cabazitaxel (CBZ). The NPs are based on chitosan (CS) conjugate polymers synthesized with different amounts of the photosensitizer ...

Various transitions that a magnetic Skyrmion can undergo are found in calculations using a method for climbing up the energy surface and converging onto first order saddle points. In addition to collapse and escape through a boundary, the method ...
