Understanding the reaction mechanisms involved during the early stage of atomic layer deposition (ALD) of HfO2 on InAs is a key requirement for improving interfaces in III-V semiconductor-based devices. InAs is an excellent candidate to outperform silicon regarding speed and power consumption, and combined with HfO2, it gives promise for a new generation of ultra-fast MOSFETs. However, an improved
SAR images are important data for observing the earth in all weather conditions. But the speckle noise contaminated the SAR images, obstructs their application. Speckle noise is primarily due to the phase fluctuations of the electromagnetic return signals. In this paper, we investigate the effect of speckles on the change detection result. Two cost functions are used in our change detection algori
Hailstorms develop over the La Plata Basin, in south-eastern South America, more often during later winter and early austral spring, between September and October. These systems have significant socioeconomic impacts over the region. Thus, a better understanding of how atmospheric drivers modulate the formation of hailstorms is important to improve the forecast of such phenomena. In this study, we
Nitroxyl (HNO) is a redox sibling of nitric oxide (NO) that targets distinct signalling pathways with pharmacological endpoints of high significance in the treatment of heart failure. Beneficial HNO effects depend, in part, on its ability to release calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) through an unidentified mechanism. Here we propose that HNO is generated as a result of the reaction of the two
Spectacular long-distance migration has evolved repeatedly in animals enabling exploration of resources separated in time and space. In birds, these patterns are largely driven by seasonality, cost of migration, and asymmetries in competition leading most often to leapfrog migration, where northern breeding populations winter furthest to the south. Here, we show that the highly aerial common swift
BackgroundSymptom severity cutoffs for body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) are lacking, hindering communication between professionals and with the patient community.MethodWe pooled data from 11 clinical trials or high-quality cohort studies from specialist clinics, totaling 804 individuals with BDD (80 % girls/women, 67 % adults). All participants had baseline scores on the adult or adolescent versions
Following the adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, multi-stakeholder partnerships (MSPs) have received renewed political attention. In several policy fields, MSPs have been criticized for a lack of accountability, resulting in efforts to redress this problem. However, it is still unclear how accountability challenges and shortcomings differ across partnerships operating within

The development of recyclable crosslinked thermosetting fibres is an challenging research topic. In the present work, we have designed and synthesized polyurethane fibers from fructose-derived 5-chloromethylfurfural (CMF) and lignin-derived monomeric phenols. The greenhouse gas emissions associated with the production of CMF showed comparable results to that of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), a hig
The structure of the N = Z nuclei Zn-60, Ga-62, Ge-64 and Kr-72 has been investigated at GASP. Total Routhian surface (TRS) calculations have been performed for the N = 36, 38 and 40 Kr isotones. In the case of Kr-72 the four quasi-particle g(9/2) alignment is observed to be significantly delayed in rotational frequency with respect to the heavier Kr isotopes. Such a delay contradicts the predicti
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a genetic disorder caused by dysfunction of low density lipoprotein receptors (LDLr), resulting in elevated plasma cholesterol levels. FH patients frequently exhibit cognitive impairment, a finding recapitulated in LDLr deficient mice (LDLr-/-), an animal model of FH. In addition, LDLr-/- mice are more vulnerable to the deleterious memory impact of amyloid-β (
Capacity-building in international cooperation projects is typically founded on a conceptualisation of transmission or transfer, and thus also typically contributes to the international diffusion of certain models, systems or technologies. In European policy, this approach has been part of the strategy to strengthen the position of European HE by making HE structures in other parts of the world co
