This makes the Mg-doped Al oxides not only much more susceptible to further corrosion but also much less protective against H embrittlement17. Moreover, we find that the aging temper affects the composition of the oxide during corrosion, i.e. the Mg content of the surface oxide decreases by...

Commercialization is widely believed to be achievable for metal halide perovskite solar cells with high efficiency and low fabrication cost. However, stability remains a key obstacle for them to compete with established photovoltaic technologies. The pho
How much do 68Ga-, 177Lu- and 131I-based radiopharmaceuticals contribute to the global radiation exposure of nuclear medicine staff? L. Struelens, E. Aalbersberg, L. Beels, N. Cherbuin, Y. D’Asseler, F. De Monte, A. Lopez Medina, M. del Carmen Riveira Martin, W. Sc...
All this adds up to a question for historians: With machines set to play a greater role in the future, how much should we cede to them of the past? At the outset, Valleriani says, the text defied algorithmic interpretation. For one thing, typefaces varied widely; early modern print shop...
(3). If we improve the ESQ in appointed regions, how much will it narrow the regional economic development gap? To answer the above three questions, we firstly introduce the Gini index to evaluate the ESQ inequality in China. Then, we develop an ESQ-adjusted Cobb–Douglas function t...
Following massive persecution and eradication, strict legal protection facilitated a successful reestablishment of wolf packs in Germany, which has been ongoing since 2000. Here, we describe this recolonization process by mitochondrial DNA control-region
Our second experimental question sought to explain why this is the case i.e., why do some individuals have a higher level of overall alertness “set-point” common across all days? A prominent genetic influence would at first seem logical. However, twin-pair analyses indicated that the ...
