As a matrix extension of the Fukui function, a reactivitydescriptorgrounded within Conceptual Density Functional Theory, the Fukui matrixextends Frontier Molecular Orbital Theory to correlated regimes withits eigendecomposition in Fukui occupations and Fukui naturals. Despitesuccessful applications, the questions remain as to whether replacinga qua...

Cultivation of Robusta coffee is likely to gain importance because of its high disease resistance and climate envelope. Robusta coffee genetic resources conserved in field genebanks can play an important role to further improve its cupping quality and other agronomic traits, but such Coffea canephora collections are limited and still poorly charact...
This study describes an interlaboratory comparison (ILC) among nine (9) laboratories to evaluate and validate the standard operation procedure (SOP) for single-particle (sp) ICP-TOFMS developed within the context of the Horizon 2020 project ACEnano. The ILC was based on the characterization of two different Pt nanoparticle (NP) suspensions in terms...
Previous studies have demonstrated problems with implant-supported overdenture attachments, such as denture base fracture and retention loss of the attachment's nylon insert. In this study, three implants were surgically inserted at the anterior mandibular region of 16 completely edentulous men (mean age: 50 years), divided into two groups dependin...

The emergence of drug-resistant strains of the parasite Leishmania infantum infecting dogs and humans represents an increasing threat. L. infantum genomes are complex and unstable with extensive structural variations, ranging from aneuploidies to multiple copy number variations (CNVs). These CNVs have recently been validated as biomarkers of Leishm...
Electrical conductivity and piezoresistivity of carbon nanotube (CNT) nanocomposites are analyzed by nodal analysis for aligned and random CNT networks dependent on the intrinsic CNT conductivity and tunneling barrier values. In the literature, these parameters are assigned with significant uncertainty; often, the intrinsic resistivity is neglected...
For a Schrödinger operator on the plane R2 with electric potential V and an Aharonov–Bohm magnetic field, we obtain an upper bound on the number of its negative eigenvalues in terms of the L1(R2)-norm of V. Similar to Calogero’s bound in one dimension, the result is true under monotonicity assumptions on V. Our method of proof relies on a generalis...
Around 5 % of anthropogenic radiative forcing (RF) is attributed to aviation CO2 and non-CO2 impacts. This paper quantifies aviation emissions and contrail climate forcing in the North Atlantic, one of the world's busiest air traffic corridors, over 5 years. Between 2016 and 2019, growth in CO2 (+3.13 % yr−1) and nitrogen oxide emissions (+4.5 % yr...
