Leaves play a central role in the adaptation of nitrogen and sulfur metabolism to ammonium nutrition in oilseed rape ( Brassica napus )
(Biomed Central, 2017-09-20)Background: The coordination between nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) assimilation is required to suitably provide plants with organic compounds essential for their development and growth. The N source induces the adaptation ... -
Legacies of past forest management determine current responses to severe drought events of conifer species in the Romanian Carpathians
(Science of the Total Environment, 2021-01-10)Worldwide increases in droughts- and heat-waves-associated tree mortality events are destabilizing the future of many forests and the ecosystem services they provide. Along with climate, understanding the impact of the ... -
Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment of European beef production systems based on a farm-level optimization model
(Journal of Cleaner Production, 2022)The European Union (EU) is among the largest beef producers in the world. Besides the economic turnover, beef production causes adverse environmental impacts such as climate change. The sector is known for high heterogeneity ... -
Light-Driven Extremely Nonlinear Bulk Photogalvanic Currents
(American Physical Society, 2021-09-13)We predict the generation of bulk photocurrents in materials driven by bichromatic fields that arc circularly polarized and corotating. The nonlinear photocurrents have a fully controllable directionality and amplitude ... -
Light-Powered Reactivation of Flagella and Contraction of Microtubule Networks: Toward Building an Artificial Cell
(American Chemical Society, 2021-06-18)Artificial systems capable of self-sustained movement with self-sufficient energy are of high interest with respect to the development of many challenging applications, including medical treatments, but also technical ... -
Light-responsive Materials for Microfluidic Applications
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018-03-07)While the microfluidic device itself may be small, often the equipment required to control fluidics in thechip unit is large e.g. pumps, valves and mixing units, which can severely limit practical use and functionalscalability. ... -
Light−Matter Response in Nonrelativistic Quantum Electrodynamics
(American Chemical Society, 2019-11)We derive the full linear-response theory for nonrelativistic quantum electrodynamics in the long wavelength limit and provide a practical framework to solve the resulting equations by using quantum-electrodynamical ... -
Lime mud waste from the paper industry as a partial replacement of cement in mortars used on radiant floor heating systems
(Elsevier Ltd., 2021-03-13)[EN] In order to mitigate climate change, reductions of energy consumption are required on heating systems for residential and non-residential buildings. Despite radiant floor heating systems are being widely used due to ... -
Linear Polyethyleneimine-Based and Metal Organic Frameworks (DUT-67) Composite Hydrogels as Efficient Sorbents for the Removal of Methyl Orange, Copper Ions, and Penicillin V
(MDPI, 2023-11-16)This research explores the integration of DUT-67 metal organic frameworks into polyethyleneimine-based hydrogels to assemble a composite system with enough mechanical strength, pore structure and chemical affinity to work ... -
Linking multisectoral economic models and consumption surveys for the European Union
(Economic Systems Research, 2020)Multisectoral models usually have a single representative household. However, more diversity of household types is needed to analyse the effects of multiple phenomena (i.e. ageing, gender inequality, distributional income ... -
Listeners’ Spectral Reallocation Preferences for Speech in Noise
(MDPI, 2023-07-28)Modifying the spectrum of recorded or synthetic speech is an effective strategy for boosting intelligibility in noise without increasing the speech level. However, the wider impact of changes to the spectral energy ... -
Listening to Laryngectomees: A study of Intelligibility and Self-reportedListening Effort of Spanish Oesophageal Speech
(International Speech Communication Association, 2018-11-23)Oesophageal speakers face a multitude of challenges, such asdifficulty in basic everyday communication and inability to in-teract with digital voice assistants. We aim to quantify the diffi-culty involved in understanding ... -
Liver metastases of intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma: implications for an updated staging system
(Wiley, 2021-06-18)[EN] BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) with liver metastases is perceived to have a poor prognosis, but the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) classifies them as early stage in the absence ... -
Local mortality impacts due to future air pollution under climate change scenarios

Local perceptions of ecosystem services across multiple ecosystem types in Spain
(Land, 2020)Combining socio-cultural valuations of ecosystem services with ecological and monetary assessments is critical to informing decision making with an integrative and multi-pronged approach. This study examined differences ... -
Local Perceptions of Ecosystem Services Across Multiple Ecosystem Types in Spain
(MDPI, 2020-09-18)Combining socio-cultural valuations of ecosystem services with ecological and monetary assessments is critical to informing decision making with an integrative and multi-pronged approach. This study examined differences ... -
Locus coeruleus norepinephrine activity mediates sensory-evoked awakenings from sleep
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2020-04-08)A defining feature of sleep is reduced responsiveness to external stimuli, but the mechanisms mediating sensory-evoked arousal remain unclear. We hypothesized that reduced locus coeruleus (LC) norepinephrine (NE) activity ... -
Long-lived oscillatory incoherent electron dynamics in molecules: trans-polyacetylene oligomers
(IOP Publishing, 2013-04)We identify an intriguing feature of the electron-vibrational dynamics of molecular systems via a computational examination of trans-polyacetylene oligomers. Here, via the vibronic interactions, the decay of an electron ... -
Long-term hippocampal interneuronopathy drives sex-dimorphic spatial memory impairment induced by prenatal THC exposure
(Nature, 2020-04)Prenatal exposure to Delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the most prominent active constituent of cannabis, alters neurodevelopmental plasticity with a long-term functional impact on adult offspring. Specifically, THC ... -
Loop decay in Abelian-Higgs string networks
(APS. American Physical Society, 2021-08-16)We study the decay of cosmic string loops in the Abelian-Higgs model. We confirm earlier results that loops formed by intersections of infinite strings formed from random-field initial conditions disappear quickly, with ...
