In order to meet demands for crops, pasture and firewood, the rate of land use change from forested to agricultural uses steadily increased over several decades, resulting in an increased release of nutrients towards groundwater and surface water bodies. I ...
Diffusion of carbon is the crucial step in chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) On metal nanoparticles. Using first principles techniques we model the binding and diffusion of carbon atoms and dimers on late transition (Ni, Pd, ...
The main obstacles in the widespread use of hydrogen as energetic alternative to fossil fuels are storage problems intrinsically linked to its extremely light and explosive nature. Since no ideal storage systems currently exist, reversible fixation of hydr ...
The problem of efficiently representing and approximating digital data is an open challenge and it is of paramount importance for many applications. This dissertation focuses on the approximation of natural signals as an organized combination of mutually c ...
The temperature-dependent thermo-physical and mechanical properties of a pultruded E-glass fiber-reinforced polyester (GFRP) composite are investigated in this paper. Fitting of theoretical models of the material properties to results of TGA, DSC, hot disk ...
As geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) are becoming integral components of modern municipal solid waste landfill lining systems, increased interest is directed at investigating their behaviour under different environmental stresses such temperature, chemical c ...

Understanding and forecasting changes in plant communities, ecosystem properties, and their associated services requires a mechanistic link between community shifts and modifications in ecosystem properties. In this study, we test the hypothesis that plant ...
Dynamic textures are sequences of images showing temporal regularity, such as smoke, flames, flowing water, or moving grass. Despite being a multidimensional signal, existing models reshape the dynamic texture into a 2D signal for analysis. In this article ...
One embodiment of this invention relates to a substrate (3) having a crystalline tin (IV) oxide film grown thereon, the film comprising a plurality of nanorods each of hick includes crystals grown along the c-axis of the tin (IV) oxide crystal. Another emb ...
A combined synchrotron X-ray diffraction, Raman scattering, and infrared spectroscopy study of the pressure-induced changes in H3BO3 to 10 GPa revealed a new high-pressure phase transition between 1 and 2 GPa followed by chemical decomposition into cubic H ...
