Strain-restricted transfer of ferromagnetic electrodes for constructing reproducibly superior-quality spintronic devices (2014)
Journal Article

Spintronic device is the fundamental platform for spin-related academic and practical studies. However, conventional techniques with energetic deposition or boorish transfer of ferromagnetic metal inevitably introduce uncontrollable damage and undesi...

A comparison of dilute acid- and alkali-catalyzed hydrothermal pretreatments for bioethanol production from brewers' spent grains (2014)
Journal Article

Acid- or alkali-catalyzed hydrothermal (121°C, 30 min) processing of brewers' spent grains were evaluated as pretreatments for subsequent bioethanol production. At 1% (w/v), HCl was the most effective acid and NaOH the most effective alkali pretreatm...

Surveying the development of biometric user authentication on mobile phones (2014)
Journal Article

© 1998-2012 IEEE. Designing reliable user authentication on mobile phones is becoming an increasingly important task to protect users' private information and data. Since biometric approaches can provide many advantages over the traditional authentic... Read More about Surveying the development of biometric user authentication on mobile phones.

CO2 Conversion into Valuable Fuels Using Chromium Based Supports (2014)
Journal Article

CO2 utilization by direct catalytic conversion of CO2 driven by solar energy is an attractive approach for producing alternative value added products suitable for end-use infrastructure. In order to fully harness the solar spectrum and increase photo... Read More about CO2 Conversion into Valuable Fuels Using Chromium Based Supports.

Dynamic portfolio optimization with transaction costs and state-dependent drift (2014)
Journal Article

© 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. The problem of dynamic portfolio choice with transaction costs is often addressed by constructing a Markov Chain approximation of the continuous time price processes. Using this approximation, we present an e... Read More about Dynamic portfolio optimization with transaction costs and state-dependent drift.

China in Islam: Turki Views from the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries (2014)
Journal Article

This article questions dominant understandings of “China,” “Islam,” and the relationship between the two. It does so by uncovering an alternative understanding of China, one held by a group of people living within the Qing Empire and, later, the Repu...

Configurations of capacity for change in entrepreneurial threshold firms: imprinting and strategic choice perspectives (2014)
Journal Article

Imprinting theory suggests that founding conditions are 'stamped' on organizations, and these imprinted routines often resist change. In contrast, strategic choice theory suggests that the firm can overcome organizational inertia and deliberately cho...

Debris flows: experiments and modelling (2014)
Journal Article

Debris flows and debris avalanches are complex, gravity-driven currents of rock, water and sediments that can be highly mobile. This combination of component materials leads to a rich morphology and unusual dynamics, exhibiting features of both granu... Read More about Debris flows: experiments and modelling.

Vibrations of the S1 state of fluorobenzene-h5 and fluorobenzene-d5 via resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) spectroscopy (2014)
Journal Article

We report resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization spectra of the isotopologues fluorobenzeneh5 and fluorobenzene-d5. By making use of quantum chemical calculations, the changes in the wavenumber of the vibrational modes upon deuteration are examine...

PEGASO: a personalised and motivational ICT system to empower adolescents towards healthy lifestyles (2014)
Journal Article

Unhealthy alimentary behaviours and physical inactivity habits are key risk factors for major non communicable diseases. Several researches demonstrate that juvenile obesity can lead to serious medical conditions, pathologies and have important psych...

Applying the ex turpi causa principle in tort actions (2014)
Journal Article

An appropriate basis for denying the recovery of damages in tort on the ground that the plaintiff has been guilty of illegal wrongdoing has for long been a matter of debate in the common law courts. We can find a number of different justifications in... Read More about Applying the ex turpi causa principle in tort actions.

Study of NAP adsorption and assembly on the surface of HOPG (2014)
Journal Article

NAP is an octapeptide that has demonstrated a neuroprotective/therapeutic efficacy at very low concentrations in preclinical studies and in a number of clinical trials. Yet little is known about its structural organization at low concentrations. Here... Read More about Study of NAP adsorption and assembly on the surface of HOPG.

Distractions during critical phases of anaesthesia for caesarean section: an observational study (2014)
Journal Article

Aviation's 'sterile cockpit' rule holds that distractions on the flight deck should be kept at a minimum during critical phases of flight. To assess current practice at comparable points during obstetric regional anaesthesia, we measured ambient nois...

Corticosterone protects against memory impairments and reduced hippocampal BDNF levels induced by a chronic low dose of ethanol in C57BL/6J mice (2014)
Journal Article

Acute low doses of ethanol can produce reversible memory deficits, but it is unknown whether they persist upon chronic use. We investigated whether the chronic intake of a low dose of ethanol induces memory impairments in the ethanol-preferring C57BL...
