(American Chemical Society, 2020-09-17)In recent years tremendous progress in the field of lightmatter interactions has unveiled that strong coupling to the modes of an optical cavity can alter chemistry even at room temperature. Despite these impressive advances, ... -
Cholangiocarcinoma 2020: the next horizon in mechanisms and management
(Springer Nature, 2020-06-30)[EN] Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) includes a cluster of highly heterogeneous biliary malignant tumours that can arise at any point of the biliary tree. Their incidence is increasing globally, currently accounting for ~15% ... -
Cholangiocarcinoma landscape in Europe: Diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic insights from the ENSCCA Registry
(Elsevier, 2022-05)Background & Aims: Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a rare and heterogeneous biliary cancer, whose incidence and related mortality is increasing. This study investigates the clinical course of CCA and subtypes (intrahepatic ... -
Cholesterol Constrains the Antigenic Configuration of the Membrane-Proximal Neutralizing HIV-1 Epitope
(ACS, 2020-06-25)The envelope glycoprotein (Env) enables HIV-1 cell entry through fusion of host-cell and viral membranes induced by the transmembrane subunit gp41. Antibodies targeting the C-terminal sequence of the membrane-proximal ... -
Cities4ZERO: Overcoming Carbon Lock-in in Municipalities through Smart Urban Transformation Processes
(MDPI, 2020-04-28)How can local authorities effectively address the decarbonization of urban environments in the long run? How would their interests and expertise be aligned into an integrated approach towards decarbonization? This paper ... -
Classification and categorization of the constrained environments in nuclear/radiological installations under decommissioning and dismantling processes
(Pergamon-Elsevier, 2020-06)INSIDER is an EU Horizon 2020 research project, within the topic NFRP-7 of the EURATOM programme, that aims to develop and validate a new and improved integrated characterization methodology and strategy for the nuclear ... -
Climate and sustainability co-governance in Kenya: A multi-criteria analysis of stakeholders' perceptions and consensus
(Energy for Sustainable Development, 2022)The Paris Agreement and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development embody highly intertwined targets to act for climate in conjunction with sustainable development. This, however, entails different meanings and challenges ... -
Climate change induced socio-economic tipping points: Review and stakeholder consultation for policy relevant research
(IOP Publishing, 2020)Tipping points have become a key concept in research on climate change, indicating points of abrupt transition in biophysical systems as well as transformative changes in adaptation and mitigation strategies. However, the ... -
Climate change perception: Driving forces and their interactions
(Environmental Science and Policy, 2020-06-01)Public perception of climate change can either facilitate or hinder the implementation of climate policies. This perception is dependent on a number of influencing factors, called drivers, in ways that are still not clearly ... -
