Due to regulatory and institutional developments, changes in consumer behaviour and the emergence of new technologies during the last two decades, incumbent postal operators in Europe had to face new challenges, threats but also opportunities. The incumben ...
Oligomers with well-defined chain lengths are of interest as foldamers, are important as model compounds for high-molecular-weight polymers and find application in electrooptic and sensory devices. This account presents an overview of the strategies that a ...
This paper presents two main contributions: semi-passive replication and Lazy Consensus. The former is a replication technique with parsimonious processing. It is based on the latter; a variant of Consensus allowing the lazy evaluation of proposed values. ...
The present paper presents an overview of the work of the RILEM Technical Committee 159-ETC on the engineering of the interfacial transition zone in cementitious composites. The object of this committee was to resolve the practical influences of the interf ...
Several approaches are described with the aim of producing near-field optical probes with improved properties. Focused ion beam milling allows the fabrication of small apertures in a controlled fashion, resulting in probes with excellent polarization prope ...
The invention relates to human O6-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase (hAGT) mutants showing, when compared to the wild type human AGT, two or more advantageous properties selected from (a) reduced DNA interaction; (b) localization of the expressed protein i ...

When silicon thin films are deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition in a plasma regime close to that of the formation of powder, a new type of material, named polymorphous silicon (pm-Si:H) is obtained. pmSi:H exhibits enhanced transport pro ...
A new type of material consisting of an amorphous silicon matrix, in which silicon nanoparticules are embedded, has recently been obtained. This material, named polymorphous silicon (pm-Si), exhibits enhanced transport and stability properties with respect ...
Electrical-transport properties of mesoscopic junctions consisting of a ballistic two-dimensional electron gas coupled at two sides to overlaying superconducting contacts are presented, The properties suggest that, despite the presence of transport limitin ...
