Vegetation change has consequences for terrestrial ecosystem structure and functioning and may involve climate feedbacks. Hence, when monitoring ecosystem states and changes thereof, the vegetation is often a primary monitoring target. Here, we summarize ...

Coastal marine Vibrio cholerae populations usually exhibit high genetic diversity. To assess the genetic diversity of abundant V. cholerae non-O1/non-O139 populations in the Central European lake Neusiedler See, we performed a phylogenetic analysis ...

Basalts are recognized as one of the major habitats on Earth, harboring diverse and active microbial populations. Inconsistently, this living component is rarely considered in engineering operations carried out in these environments. This includes ...

Highly nonlinear optical materials with strong effective photon-photon interactions are required for ultrafast and quantum optical signal processing circuitry. Here we report strong Kerr-like nonlinearities by employing efficient optical transitions ...

The European Union (EU) has made climate change mitigation a high priority though a policy framework called "Clean Energy for all Europeans ". The concept of primary energy for energy resources plays a critical role in how different energy technologies ...

Macrobrachium rosenbergii, the giant freshwater prawn, is an important source of high quality protein and occurs naturally in rivers as well as commercial farms in South and South-East Asia, including Bangladesh. This study investigated the genetic ...

Objective: To study the self-reported prevalence of experienced violence among a cohort of women about two years after giving birth, their health during pregnancy, pregnancy outcomes and their experience of their child ’ s health. Setting and ...

Grein þessi fjallar um skynjun borgarheimsins, birtingarmyndir hans í bókmenntum og æviskrifum, og um borgina sem stað framandleika og ferðalaga í ýmsum skilningi, m.a. í heimsmynd hvers og eins. Borgir einkennast af þéttleika og innri tengslum en ...

„Loftslagsbreytingar er vandamál sem ekki er hægt að leysa!“ Það eru orð guðfræðingsins og siðfræðingsins Willis Jenkins sem þessi grein beinir sjónum að. Hvað sem þessum orðum líður heldur Jenkins því fram að kristin siðfræði á tímum loftslagsbreytinga ...

Hnútar í skjaldkirtli eru algengt vandamál og nýgengi þeirra hefur aukist mikið. Kerfisbundin nálgun við uppvinnslu er nauðsynleg til að greining fáist fljótt en ekki síður til að koma í veg fyrir ofgreiningu og ofmeðhöndlun sjúklinga. Það er mikilvægt ...
