A Two-Wired High Input Impedance and High CMRR Active Electrode Insensitive to Component Mismatch

This article proposes a new two-wired amplifying active electrode (AE), presenting a high input impedance and a high common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR). In the proposed structure, the input impedance and the CMRR of the system are considerably increased by ...

Provision of housing services within planetary limits: A methodological framework for the urban circular economy

Ankita Singhvi

The provision of decent housing for all is a core sustainable development goal (SDG) and a fundamental human right. However, the construction sector is the world's largest consumer of raw materials, and 40% of global CO2 emissions are attributed to housing ...

Dispassionate Borders: Common Patterns of Belonging in European Cross-Border Regions

Alexis Gumy, Ander Audikana Arriola, Garance Clément

Cross-border regions are seen as specific spaces where both cosmopolitanism and nationalistic attitudes can spread. It is commonly argued that due to the physical proximity to a neighbouring country, the development of cross-border encounters and interacti ...

Presence of algal symbionts affects denitrifying bacterial communities in the sea anemone Aiptasia coral model

Anders Meibom, Nils Rädecker, Claudia Isabella Pogoreutz

The coral-algal symbiosis is maintained by a constant and limited nitrogen availability in the holobiont. Denitrifiers, i.e., prokaryotes reducing nitrate/nitrite to dinitrogen, could contribute to maintaining the nitrogen limitation in the coral holobiont ...

First-person experience cannot rescue causal structure theories from the unfolding argument

Michael Herzog, Adrien Christophe Doerig, Aaron Schurger

We recently put forward an argument, the Unfolding Argument (UA), that integrated information theory (IIT) and other causal structure theories are either already falsified or unfalsifiable, which provoked significant criticism. It seems that we and the cri ...
