Automated extraction of single H atoms with STM: tip state dependency (2017)
Journal Article

The atomistic structure of the tip apex plays a crucial role in performing reliable atomic-scale surface and adsorbate manipulation using scanning probe techniques. We have developed an automated extraction routine for controlled removal of single hy... Read More about Automated extraction of single H atoms with STM: tip state dependency.

Evolution of plasticity-based wear damage in gross sliding fretting of a Ti-6Al-4V non-conforming contact (2017)
Journal Article

This paper examines the evidence for a plasticity based wear mechanism in the fretting wear of Ti-6Al-4V. Driven by near-surface plastic strain accumulation, the generation of wear debris evolves from coarse metallic debris towards loose fine oxide d...

Picosecond acoustics in single quantum wells of cubic GaN/(Al,Ga)N (2017)
Journal Article

A picosecond acoustic pulse is used to study the photoelastic interaction in single zinc-blende GaN/AlxGa1−xN quantum wells. We use an optical time-resolved pump-probe setup and demonstrate that tuning the photon energy to the quantum well’s lowest e...

Spontaneous extrusion of gallstones after percutaneous drainage (2017)
Journal Article

There have been reports of late discharge of gallstones through operative wounds after spillage into the peritoneal cavity during laparoscopic cholecystectomy and after the development of spontaneous cholecystocutaneous fistulae. However, spontaneous... Read More about Spontaneous extrusion of gallstones after percutaneous drainage.

Investor reaction to IFRS for financial instruments in Europe: the role of firm-specific factors (2017)
Journal Article

We examine the market reaction to events related to the standard-setting process of International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 9 for over 3,000 European firms that have adopted IFRS. We find that the market reaction to IFRS 9 is largely affect... Read More about Investor reaction to IFRS for financial instruments in Europe: the role of firm-specific factors.

Pain prediction by serum biomarkers of bone turnover in people with knee osteoarthritis: an observational study of TRAcP5b and cathepsin K in OA (2017)
Journal Article

“I’m a Red River local”: rock climbing mobilities and community hospitalities (2017)
Journal Article

With individuals continually on the move, mobility fosters constellations of places at which individuals collectively moor and perform community. By focusing on one climbing destination – the Red River Gorge – this paper works across scales to highli...

Mixed discretization of the time-domain MFIE at low frequencies (2017)
Journal Article

Solution of the magnetic field integral equation, which is obtained by the classical marching-on-in-time (MOT) scheme, becomes inaccurate when the time-step is large, i.e., under low-frequency excitation. It is shown here that the inaccuracy stems fr... Read More about Mixed discretization of the time-domain MFIE at low frequencies.
