Coastal gradients of small microplastics and associated pollutants influenced by estuarine sources
(Elsevier, 2022)Small microplastics (SMPs) in the gulf of Cadiz was sampled at 5 m depth by pumping it through the ship's pipe system and filtered through a 45 mu m mesh size net. Our study reveals that higher densities have been found ... -
Coexistence of Superconductivity and Spin-Splitting Fields in Superconductor/Ferromagnetic Insulator Bilayers of Arbitrary Thickness
(American Physical Society, 2021-05-19)Ferromagnetic insulators (FI) can induce a strong exchange field in an adjacent superconductor (S) via the magnetic proximity effect. This manifests as spin splitting of the BCS density of states of the superconductor, an ... -
Coherent coupling between vortex bound states and magnetic impurities in 2D layered superconductors
(Nature, 2021-08-03)Bound states in superconductors are expected to exhibit a spatially resolved electron-hole asymmetry which is the hallmark of their quantum nature. This asymmetry manifests as oscillations at the Fermi wavelength, which ... -
COLAEVA: Visual Analytics and Data Mining Web-Based Tool for Virtual Coaching of Older Adult Populations
(MDPI, 2021-10-30)The global population is aging in an unprecedented manner and the challenges for improving the lives of older adults are currently both a strong priority in the political and healthcare arena. In this sense, preventive ... -
Colorectal Cancer Genetic Variants Are Also Associated with Serrated Polyposis Syndrome Susceptibility
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2020-10)Background Serrated polyposis syndrome (SPS) is a clinical entity characterised by large and/ormultiple serrated polyps throughout the colon and increased risk for colorectal cancer (CRC). The basis for SPS genetic ... -
Combined analysis of Belle and Belle II data to determine the CKM angle phi(3) using B+ -> D(K(S)(0)h(+)h(-))h(+) decays
(Springer, 2022)[EN] We present a measurement of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa unitarity triangle angle phi(3) (also known as gamma) using a model-independent Dalitz plot analysis of B+ -> D(K(S)(0)h(+)h(-))h(+), where D is either a D-0 ... -
Combined effects of life-history traits and human impact on extinction risk of freshwater megafauna.
(CONSERVATION BIOLOGY, 2020)Megafauna species are intrinsically vulnerable to human impact. Freshwater megafauna (i.e., freshwater animals ≥30 kg, including fishes, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians) are subject to intensive and increasing threats. ... -
Combustion of a Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF) Produced from the Polymeric Fraction of Automotive Shredder Residue (ASR)
(MDPI, 2021-11-03)The use of alternative fuels derived from residues in energy-intensive industries that rely on fossil fuels can cause considerable energy cost savings, but also significant environmental benefits by conserving non-renewable ... -
Common Variants in Alzheimer’s Disease and Risk Stratification by Polygenic Risk Scores
(Springer, 2021-06-07)Genetic discoveries of Alzheimer's disease are the drivers of our understanding, and together with polygenetic risk stratification can contribute towards planning of feasible and efficient preventive and curative clinical ... -
Comparative analysis of the socio-economic characteristics of Delta and Non-Delta spaces of Ghana: An input-output approach
(African Review of Economics and Finance, 2019-07-08)This paper provides insights into the current socioeconomic and biophysical state of the Volta Delta, Ghana. We employed non-survey methods, notably the Flegg Location Quotient (FLQ) method of regionalization and ... -
Comparative assessment of control strategies for the biradial turbine in the Mutriku OWC plant
(Pergamon-Elsevier, 2020-02)To be competitive against other renewable energy sources, energy converted from the ocean waves needs to reduce its associated levelised cost of energy. It has been proven that advanced control algorithms can increase power ... -
Comparing the microstructure and photovoltaic performance of 3 perylene imide acceptors with similar energy levels but different packing tendencies
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2022-02-03)While it is widely recognized that microstructure plays an important role in the performance of organic photovoltaics (OPV), systematic studies are often challenging, as varying the molecular packing through typical chemical ... -
Comparison between Energy Simulation and Monitoring Data in an Office Building
(MDPI, 2021-12-30)One of the most important steps in the retrofitting process of a building is to understand its pre-retrofitting stage energy performance. The best choice for carrying this out is by means of a calibrated building energy ... -
Complex plasmon-exciton dynamics revealed through quantum dot light emission in a nanocavity
(Nature, 2021-02-26)Plasmonic cavities can confine electromagnetic radiation to deep sub-wavelength regimes. This facilitates strong coupling phenomena to be observed at the limit of individual quantum emitters. Here, we report an extensive ... -
Conditional Wave Function Theory: A Unified Treatment of Molecular Structure and Nonadiabatic Dynamics
(American Chemical Society, 2021-11-09)[EN] We demonstrate that a conditional wave function theory enables a unified and efficient treatment of the equilibrium structure and nonadiabatic dynamics of correlated electron-ion systems. The conditional decomposition ... -
