Understanding risks in the light of uncertainty: low-probability, high-impact coastal events in cities
(Environmental Research Letters, 2017-01-17)
A quantification of present and future mean annual losses due to extreme coastal events can be crucial for adequate decision making on adaptation to climate change in coastal areas around the globe. However, this approach ...
Significant implications of permafrost thawing for climate change control
(Climatic Change, 2016-04-11)
Large amounts of carbon are stored as permafrost within the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions. As permafrost thaws due to climate warming, carbon dioxide and methane are released. Recent studies indicate that the pool of carbon ...
Multiple Sensor Monitoring of CFRP Drilling to Define Cutting Parameters Sensitivity on Surface Roughness, Cylindricity and Diameter
(MDPI, 2020-06-21)
Machining parameters affects the final quality of components made in carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) composite materials. In this framework, the work here presented aims at studying the right combination of cutting ...
Parameter-Free Hybridlike Functional Based on an Extended Hubbard Model: DFT Plus U Plus V
(American Physical Society, 2020-10-13)
In this paper, we propose an energy functional at the level of DFT U + V that allows us to compute self-consistently the values of the onsite interaction, Hubbard U and Hund J, as well as the intersite interaction V. This ...
Microfluidics and materials for smart water monitoring: A review
(Elsevier, 2021-03-13)
Water quality monitoring of drinking, waste, continental and seawaters is of great importance to ensure safety and wellbeing for humans, fauna and flora. Researchers are developing robust water monitoring microfluidic ...
rs641738C>T nearMBOAT7is associated with liver fat, ALT and fibrosis in NAFLD: A meta-analysis
(Elsevier, 2021-01)
Background & Aims: A common genetic variant near MBOAT7 (rs641738C>T) has been previously associated with hepatic fat and advanced histology in NAFLD; however, these findings have not been consistently replicated in the ...
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 ...
The Promotion of Sustainable Diets in the Healthcare System and Implications for Health Professionals: A Scoping Review
(MDPI, 2021-02-26)
The impacts of the current global food system are already visible in the environment and in the health of the population. The promotion of sustainable diets is key to counter the negative consequences. The healthcare system ...
Acceptance of Near-Natural Greenspace Management Relates to Ecological and Socio-Cultural Assigned Values Among European Urbanites
(Elsevier, 2021-02)
Grasslands are widespread elements of urban greenspace providing recreational, psychological and aesthetic benefits to city residents. Two urban grassland types of contrasting management dominate urban greenspaces: frequently ...
Phosphorus-Functionalized Graphene for Lithium-Ion Capacitors with Improved Power and Cyclability
(Wiley, 2021-03)
Herein, we report an easy approach for the preparation of graphene-based materials suitable as electrodes for lithium-ion capacitors (LICs). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that phosphorus-functionalized ...
