Understanding the impact of Cu surface pre-treatment on Octadecanethiol-derived self-assembled monolayer as a mask for a...
Atomic layer deposition (ALD) combined with self-assembled monolayer (SAM) passivation allows selective deposition on patterned substrates at the nanoscale, enabling bottom-up material fabrication for various applications. Selective chemisorption of 1-octadecanethiol (ODT) on Cu over SiO2 is exploited to achieve area selective deposition (ASD). Alt...

Existing anonymity systems sacrifice anonymity for efficient communication or vice-versa. Onion-routing achieves low latency, high bandwidth, and scalable anonymous communication, but is susceptible to traffic analysis attacks. Designs based on DC-Nets, on the other hand, protect the users against traffic analysis attacks, but sacrifice bandwidth. ...
Magnetoacoustic wave energy dissipation in the atmosphere of solar pores
The suitability of solar pores as magnetic wave guides has been a key topic of discussion in recent years. Here, we present observational evidence of propagating magnetohydrodynamic wave activity in a group of five photospheric solar pores. Employing data obtained by the Facility Infrared Spectropolarimeter at the Dunn Solar Telescope, oscillations...

The size of terroir: a theoretical note on economics and politics of geographical indications
Geographical indications (GI) certify the geographical origins of a product and delineate the specific area in which the certified product must be produced. Despite a large literature on the economics of GIs, few papers have explored the question of the optimal size of GI regions. This note presents a flexible conceptual framework to explore the ec...
The continuous heart failure spectrum: moving beyond an ejection fraction classification.
...Published in European heart journal
Randomized clinical trials initially used heart failure (HF) patients with low left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) to select study populations with high risk to enhance statistical power. However, this use of LVEF in clinical trials has led to oversimplification of the scientific view of a complex syndrome. Descriptive terms such as 'HFrEF' (...
Reviewing the thermo-chemical recycling of waste polyurethane foam
The worldwide production of polymeric foam materials is growing due to their advantageous properties of light weight, high thermal insulation, good strength, resistance and rigidity. Society creates ever increasing amounts of poly-urethane (PU) waste. A major part of this waste can be recycled or recovered in order to be put into further use. The P...
