Green Alternative Cosolvents to N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone in Water Polyurethane Dispersions
(Royal Society Of Chemistry, 2021-06-05)N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone is a toxic dipolar aprotic solvent widely used in the synthesis of polyurethane dispersions (PUD). Since legislation strongly restricts this substance, green alternatives are essential. Dihydrolevo ... -
Greenhouse gas observation network design for Africa
(TELLUS SERIES B-CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL METEOROLOGY, 2020)An optimal network design was carried out to prioritise the installation or refurbishment of greenhouse gas (GHG) monitoring stations around Africa. The network was optimised to reduce the uncertainty in emissions across ... -
Growth and resilience responses of Scots pine to extreme droughts across Europe depend on predrought growth conditions
(GLOBAL CHANGE BIOLOGY, 2020)Global climate change is expected to further raise the frequency and severity of extreme events, such as droughts. The effects of extreme droughts on trees are difficult to disentangle given the inherent complexity of ... -
Guidelines for modeling and reporting health effects of climate change mitigation actions
(Environmental Health Perspectives, 2020-11-01)BACKGROUND: Modeling suggests that climate change mitigation actions can have substantial human health benefits that accrue quickly and locally. Documenting the benefits can help drive more ambitious and health-protective ... -
Guidelines for small ruminant production systems under climate emergency in Europe
(SMALL RUMINANT RESEARCH, 2020)Projected climate change will involve an additional threat for the sustainability of small ruminant production systems in Europe. Aiming to understand its implications, we conducted a literature review on climate change ... -
Guiding cities under increased droughts: The limits to sustainable urban futures
(Ecological Economics, 2021-11-01)Climate change is likely to increase droughts. The vulnerability of cities to droughts is increasing worldwide. Policy responses from cities to droughts lack consideration of long-term climatic and socio-economic scenarios, ... -
Habitat fragmentation and food security in crop pollination systems
(Journal of Ecology, 2021-08-01)Ensuring stable food supplies is a major challenge for the 21st century. There is consensus that increased food production is necessary, but not sufficient, to achieve food security, and that agriculture should also aim ... -
Hardy's uncertainty principle and unique continuation property for stochastic heat equations
(EDP Sciences, 2020-02-14)The goal of this paper is to prove a qualitative unique continuation property at two points in time for a stochastic heat equation with a randomly perturbed potential, which can be considered as a variant of Hardy’s ... -
Health co-benefits and mitigation costs as per the Paris Agreement under different technological pathways for energy supply
(Elsevier, 2020)This study assesses the reductions in air pollution emissions and subsequent beneficial health effects from different global mitigation pathways consistent with the 2 °C stabilization objective of the Paris Agreement. We ... -
Health co-benefits from air pollution and mitigation costs of the Paris Agreement: a modelling study
(Elsevier, 2018)Background: Although the co-benefits from addressing problems related to both climate change and air pollution have been recognised, there is not much evidence comparing the mitigation costs and economic benefits of air ... -
Health Information Counselors Help Avoid Automatized Decisions in Health Care

Heterogeneous Preferences for Public Goods Provided by Agriculture in a Region of Intensive Agricultural Production: The Case of the Marchfeld
(MDPI, 2018-06)The aim of this paper is to elicit the marginal willingness to pay (MWTP) for the improved provision of public goods (PGs) by agriculture in a region of intensive agricultural production, embodying many of the environmental ... -
High Harmonics and Isolated Attosecond Pulses from MgO
(American Physical Society, 2021-01-08)On the basis of real-time ab initio calculations, we study the nonperturbative interaction of two-color laser pulses with MgO crystal in the strong-field regime to generate isolated attosecond pulses from high-harmonic ... -
High-Harmonic Generation from Spin-Polarised Defects in Solids
(Nature, 2020-01-31)The generation of high-order harmonics in gases enabled to probe the attosecond electron dynamics in atoms and molecules with unprecedented resolution. Extending these techniques to solids, which were originally developed ... -
High-Performance All-Organic Aqueous Batteries Based on a Poly(Imide) Anode and Poly(Catechol) Cathode
(RSC, 2021-01-07)Aqueous all-polymer batteries (AqPBs) are foreseen as promising solutions for safe, sustainable, and high-performance energy storage applications. Nevertheless, their development is still challenging as it demands precise ... -
Holo-Omics: Integrated Host-Microbiota Multi-omics for Basic and Applied Biological Research
(Cell Press, 2020-08-21)From ontogenesis to homeostasis, the phenotypes of complex organisms are shaped by the bidirectional interactions between the host organisms and their associated microbiota. Current technology can reveal many such interactions ... -
Homelessness and self-rated health: evidence from a national survey of homeless people in Spain
(BMC, 2019-08-10)Background: Internationally, acute homelessness is commonly associated with complex health and social care needs. While homelessness can be understood as an outcome of structural housing exclusion requiring housing led ... -
Homotypic targeting and drug delivery in glioblastoma cells through cell membrane-coated boron nitride nanotubes
(Elsevier, 2020-07)Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is one of the most aggressive types of brain cancer, characterized by rapid progression, resistance to treatments, and low survival rates; the development of a targeted treatment for this ... -
How Circular Dichroism in Time and Angle-Resolved Photoemission Can Be Used to Spectroscopically Detect Transient Topological States in Graphene
