The role of artificial intelligence in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals
(Springer Nature, 2020)
The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and its progressively wider impact on many sectors requires an assessment of its effect on the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. Using a consensus-based expert ...
Genetic and phenotypic spectrum associated with IFIH1 gain‐of‐function
(Wiley, 2020-01)
IFIH1 gain-of-function has been reported as a cause of a type I interferonopathy encompassing a spectrum of autoinflammatory phenotypes including Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome and Singleton Merten syndrome. Ascertaining ...
Homotypic targeting and drug delivery in glioblastoma cells through cell membrane-coated boron nitride nanotubes
(Elsevier, 2020-07)
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is one of the most aggressive types of brain cancer, characterized by rapid progression, resistance to treatments, and low survival rates; the development of a targeted treatment for this ...
Influence of MUC5B gene on antisynthetase syndrome
(Nature, 2020-01-29)
MUC5B rs35705950 (G/T) is strongly associated with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and also contributes to the risk of interstitial lung disease (ILD) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA-ILD) and chronic hypersensitivity ...

Measurement-induced, spatially-extended entanglement in a hot, strongly-interacting atomic system
(Nature, 2020-05-15)
Quantum technologies use entanglement to outperform classical technologies, and often employ strong cooling and isolation to protect entangled entities from decoherence by random interactions. Here we show that the opposite ...
Bilinguals processing noun morphology: Evidence for the Language Distance Hypothesis from event-related potentials
(Pergamon-Elsevier, 2020-08)
Evidence shows that second language (L2) processing depends on the Age of Acquisition (AoA), proficiency and differences between L1 and L2 grammar. Here we focus on the influence of the latter factor on L2 processing. To ...
Reconciling global-model estimates and country reporting of anthropogenic forest CO 2 sinks
(Springer, 2018)
Achieving the long-term temperature goal of the Paris Agreement requires forest-based mitigation. Collective progress towards this goal will be assessed by the Paris Agreement s Global stocktake. At present, there is a ...
Landscape-scale modelling of agroforestry ecosystems services in Swiss orchards: a methodological approach
(Springer, 2018)
Context: Agroforestry systems in temperate Europe are known to provide both, provisioning and regulating ecosystem services (ES). Yet, it is poorly understood how these systems affect ES provision at a landscape scale in ...
Stakeholders perspectives on the operationalisation of the ecosystem service concept: Results from 27 case studies
(Elsevier, 2018)
The ecosystem service (ES) concept is becoming mainstream in policy and planning, but operational influence on practice is seldom reported. Here, we report the practitioners perspectives on the practical implementation ...
