The electronics industry is one of the most successful in the world (Veit & Bernardes, 2015). Computers, mobile phones, television screens, touch pads are now part of the daily lives of many people of this planet. The advent of more and more sophisticated ...
Studying the response of streamwater chemistry to changes in discharge can provide valuable insights into how catchments store and release water and solutes. Previ- ous studies have determined concentration–discharge (cQ) relationships from long-term, low- ...
The mechanical strength of metals depends on their resistance against various microscopic
deformation processes. In ductile metals, the most important process is shearing of the crystal
lattice by dislocations. One of the fundamental aspects of dislocation ...
The extraction, supply, market price and recycling of the metals used for superalloys were modelled using the systems dynamics model WORLD6. Peak production per capita (Supply Security) and stock-in-use per capita (Utility of Use) as well as resource stock ...

The accelerating rate of accumulation of electronic waste or waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is a global problem due to the environmental and health consequences. Recycling of WEEE is a sustainable solution to overcome this problem. Use of ...
This is the first account of the history of our understanding of, and ability to model, solidification microstructures. Its objective is to retrace the scientific steps made, from the earliest observations of the eighteenth century to our present-day under ...
Cell-based biosensors have great potential to detect various toxic and pathogenic contaminants in aqueous environments. However, frequently they cannot meet practical requirements due to insufficient sensing performance. To address this issue, we investiga ...
Recently, it was noted that losses in plasmonics can also enable several useful optical functionalities. One class of structures that can maximize absorption are metal insulator metal systems. Here, we study 3-layer systems with a nano-composite metal laye ...
This paper presents the coupling of freeze-core sampling with X-ray CT scanning for the analysis of the soil structure of fine-grained, low-cohesive soils. We used a medical scanner to image the 3D soil structure of the frozen soil cores, providing X-ray C ...
The strong affinity of phosphorus (P) to iron (Fe) oxides and hydroxides in highly weathered tropical soils limits P availability and therefore plant productivity in tropics. In flooded soils, however, P fixed by Fe oxides and hydroxides can be released in ...
