Nature of Alkali- and Coinage-Metal Bonds Versus Hydrogen Bonds
(Wiley, 2021-01)
We have quantum chemically studied the structure and nature of alkali- and coinage-metal bonds (M-bonds) versus that of hydrogen bonds between A-M and B- in archetypal [A-M center dot center dot center dot B](-) model ...
Even-odd Effect in Aliphatic Polycarbonates with Different Chain Lengths: from Poly (hexamethylene carbonate) to Poly (dodecamethylene carbonate)
(ACS, 2020-12-17)
We have characterized a series of aliphatic polycarbonates synthesized by organocatalysis containing a variable number of methylene groups (nCH2) in their repeat units ranging from nCH2 = 6 to 12. The melting and crystallization ...
Metal Nanoparticles/MoS2 Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering-Based Sandwich Immunoassay for a-Fetoprotein Detection
(American Chemical Society, 2021-02-24)
The detection of cancer biomarkers at an early stage of tumor development is vital for effective diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Current diagnostic tools can often detect cancer only when the biomarker levels are already ...
Long-acting injectable aripiprazole in pregnant women with schizophrenia: a case-series report
(Sage, 2021-01)
Antipsychotic long-acting formulations (LAI-AP) have emerged as a new therapeutic choice to treat patients presenting a severe mental disorder. Despite that, to date, there is a lack of safety data and studies regarding ...
Comparing urban coastal flood risk in 136 cities under two alternative sea-level projections: RCP 8.5 and an expert opinion-based high-end scenario
(Elsevier, 2020)
The high degree of uncertainty associated with the extent of future sea-level rise stems primarily from the potential mass loss of the Greenland and Antarctica ice-sheets. We explore the impact of this uncertainty on ...
Transnationalization of climate adaptation by regional governments and the RegionsAdapt initiative
(Cambridge University Press, 2020)
Adaptation to climate change has traditionally been framed as a local problem. However, in recent years, and particularly since the 2015 Paris Agreement established a global goal on adaptation, adaptation has risen on the ...
Multiple perspectives of resilience: A holistic approach to resilience assessment using cognitive maps in practitioner engagement
(Elsevier, 2020)
Resilience has become a regulatory concept influencing investment decisions in the water and wastewater sector. However, current assessments predominantly focus on technical resilience and on engineering solutions. Here ...
How Circular Dichroism in Time and Angle-Resolved Photoemission Can Be Used to Spectroscopically Detect Transient Topological States in Graphene
(American Physical Society, 2020-10-19)
Pumping graphene with circularly polarized light is the archetype of light-tailoring topological bands. Realizing the induced Floquet-Chern-insulator state and demonstrating clear experimental evidence for its topological ...
Analysis of the Evolution and Collaboration Networks of Citizen Science Scientific Publications
(Springer, 2021-01)
The termcitizen sciencerefers to a broad set of practices developed in a growing number of areas of knowledge and characterized by the active citizen participation in some or several stages of the research process. ...
Picturing Organisms and Their Environments: Interaction, Transaction, and Constitution Loops
(Frontiers Media, 2020-07-30)
Changing conceptions of the relation between organisms and their environments make up a crucial chapter in the history of psychology. This may be approached by a comparative study of how schematic diagrams portray this ...
