The Costs of Sea-Level Rise: Coastal Adaptation Investments vs. Inaction in Iberian Coastal Cities
(MDPI, 2020-04-24)
Iberian coastal cities are subject to significant risks in the next decades due to climate change-induced sea-level rise. These risks are quite uncertain depending on several factors. In this article, we estimate potential ...
Engineering Three-Dimensional Moire Flat Bands
(American Chemical Society, 2021-09-22)
Twisting two adjacent layers of van der Waals materials with respect to each other can lead to flat two-dimensional electronic bands which enables a wealth of physical phenomena. Here, we generalize this concept of so-called ...
Towards a High-Power Si@graphite Anode for Lithium Ion Batteries through a Wet Ball Milling Process
(MDPI, 2020-05-27)
Silicon-based anodes are extensively studied as an alternative to graphite for lithium ion batteries. However, silicon particles suffer larges changes in their volume (about 280%) during cycling, which lead to particles ...
Introducing the H2020 AQUACROSS project: Knowledge, Assessment, and Management for AQUAtic Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services aCROSS EU policies
(Elsevier, 2019)
The AQUACROSS project was an unprecedented effort to unify policy concepts, knowledge, and management of freshwater, coastal, and marine ecosystems to support the cost-effective achievement of the targets set by the EU ...
Exposure to green areas: Modelling health benefits in a context of study heterogeneity
(Elsevier, 2020)
Although the beneficial health effects of green areas are gaining recognition, epidemiological studies show mixed results with significance varying considerably by study and context, indicating that there is no unique and ...
Infants' Perception of Repetition-Based Regularities in Speech: a Look from the Perspective of the Same/Different Distinction
(Elsevier, 2021-02)
We review the existing evidence, behavioral and neural, of infants' ability to encode repetition- ('same') and diversity-('different') based regularities in speech. These studies show that, from birth, infants exhibit a ...
Energy, Environmental and Economic Analysis of Air-to-Air Heat Pumps as an Alternative to Heating Electrification in Europe
(MDPI, 2020-08-01)
Heat pumps (HP) are an efficient alternative to non-electric heating systems (NEHS), being a cost-effective mean to support European building sector decarbonization. The paper studies HP and NEHS performance in residential ...
Imidazolium-based co-poly(ionic liquid) membranes for CO2/N2 separation
(ACS, 2019-01-04)
The development of efficient carbon dioxide capture and separation technologies is at the fore front of the priorities in the climate change policies. Poly(ionic liquid)s (PILs) have been emerging as extremely promising ...
Measurment of branching fractions and search for CP violation in D-0 -> pi(+)pi(-)eta, D-0 -> K+K-eta, and D-0 -> phi eta at Belle
(Springer, 2021-09-13)
We measure the branching fractions and CP asymmetries for the singly Cabibbo-suppressed decays D-0 -> pi(+)pi(-)eta, D-0 -> K+K-eta, and D-0 -> phi eta, using 980 fb(-1) of data from the Belle experiment at the KEKB e(+)e(-) ...
Out-of-Plane Transport of 1T-TaS2/Graphene-Based van der Waals Heterostructures
(American Chemical Society, 2021-07-27)
Due to their anisotropy, layered materials are excellent candidates for studying the interplay between the inplane and out-of-plane entanglement in strongly correlated systems. A relevant example is provided by 1T-TaS2, ...
