The mechanism of formation of rhodium nanocubes in the presence of tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide and polyvinylpyrrolidone in ethylene glycol was studied in situ by XAFS, in conjunction with other ex situ techniques including MALDI-TOF MS, XRD, TEM, a ...
With a span as long as the history of polymer science itself, post-polymerization modification represents a versatile platform for the preparation of diversely functionalized polymers from a single precursor. Starting with the initial efforts by Staudinger ...
The resource-based view suggests that firms' heterogeneous resource endowments are important for explaining interfirm performance differences. To date, however, the literature provides little insight on the factors that shape the identification of markets ...
We review the historical and recent development of experimental techniques that are based on the combination of photoemission spectroscopy and high lateral resolution. The discussion specifically deals with the essential features of the two main classes of ...
We have analyzed data from a multi-site campaign to observe oscillations in the F5 star Procyon. The data consist of high-precision velocities that we obtained over more than three weeks with 11 telescopes. A new method for adjusting the data weights allow ...
We study the longitudinal linear optimal perturbations (which maximize the energy gain up to a prescribed time T) to inviscid parallel shear flow, which present unbounded energy growth due to the lift-up mechanism. Using the phase invariance with respect t ...
Culture-independent molecular methods based on the amplification, cloning and sequencing of small-subunit ribosomal RNA genes (SSU rDNAs) are powerful tools to study the diversity of microorganisms. Despite so, the eukaryotic microbial diversity of many ec ...
The operation of the Large Hadron Collider calls for a thorough analysis of the thermo-electric behavior of the 13 kA superconducting bus-bars connecting its dipole and quadrupole main magnets. This presentation reports a synthesis of the work performed jo ...
How do neurons dynamically encode and treat information? Each neuron communicates with its distinctive language made of long silences intermitted by occasional spikes. The spikes are prompted by the pooled effect of a population of pre-synaptic neurons. To ...
The areal modeling of the extremes of a natural process such as rainfall or temperature is important in environmental statistics; for example, understanding extreme areal rainfall is crucial in flood protection. This article reviews recent progress in the ...
