The question at which energy the transition from Galactic to extragalactic cosmic rays takes place has been a long-standing conundrum in cosmic ray physics. In the past, the transition energy has been usually associated ...

We investigate the behavior of drainage displacements in heterogeneous porous media finding a transition from viscous fingering to foam-like region. A pore network model incorporating the formation of blobs is adopted to ...

Transition metal carbides are used for various applications such as hard coating, heterogeneous catalysis, catalyst support material or coatings in fuel cell applications. However, little is known about the stability of ...

Even though Japan and Switzerland are characterised by comparatively low youth unemployment rates, non-standard forms of employment are on the rise, posing a risk to the stable integration of young labour market entrants. ...

Companies are increasingly faced with the challenge of how to implement sustainability strategies in their business performances. This chapter discusses transition processes, presents mechanisms, and clarifies how tools ...

This study reports a green, inexpensive, and highly versatile procedure to synthesize well-dispersed transition-metal nanoparticles anchored on carbon supports. The resulting metal loadings are 26 wt % or above. Achieving ...

Background The Three Delays Framework was instrumental in the reduction of maternal mortality leading up to, and during the Millennium Development Goals. However, this paper suggests the original framework might be ...

Following the growing global focus on deinstitutionalisation in the past 50 years, accessible community mental health services was a highlighted commitment in the European Mental Health Action Plan 2013–2020 to improve ...

Background: The post cardiac arrest syndrome (PCAS) is responsible for the majority of in-hospital deaths following cardiac arrest (CA). The major elements of PCAS are anoxic brain injury and circulatory failure. Objective: ...

Bipolar disorder (BD) is a major healthcare and socio-economic challenge. Despite its substantial burden on society, the research activity in BD is much smaller than its economic impact appears to demand. There is a consensus ...
