Poster Prizes at the 2018 Polymer Crystallization Workshop in Genova
Three exceptional young scientists were awarded poster prizes from the new journal Polymer Crystallization at the 2018 Polymer Crystallization Workshop that took place in September in Genova.
Tracing the Sources of the Nile Water
From the West African rain forest to the Ethiopian highlands, implications of changes in the West African rainforest with respect to the rain and available water resources of the Nile basin.
Achieving Climate Targets by Increasing Electricity Consumption
The effects of following an extensive electrification strategy in Germany until 2030 are analyzed by using the energy system model “ISAaR.”
The Complex Enzymology Of mRNA Decapping
Single stranded RNAs with a free 5′ monophosphate end are susceptible to rapid degradation. Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) and ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) are stabilized by hairpin structures and by “hiding” their 5′ ends within complex protein structures.
Political Impacts of Adaptation Actions: Social Contracts, A Research Agenda
A case on expanded research agenda on social contracts is made, arguing they can help identify and then situate the competing interests, voices and expectations at work in adaptation decision-making – an understanding that could help improve the equity outcomes of negotiated and imposed risk management settlements.
Water and Film: Fluidity of Time and Space and Its Somatic Perception
A recent WIREs Water review analyses the close relationship between water and moving images.
Context-Dependent Regulation of Receptor Tyrosine Kinases
Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are cell membrane proteins that provide cells with the ability to sense proteins in their environments. Many RTKs are essential to development and organ growth. Derangement of RTKs—by mutation or by overexpression—is central to several developmental and adult disorders including cancer, short stature, and vascular pathologies.
Beyond the Horizon of CMOS
For decades the density of integrated circuits has grown exponentially, according to the empirical Moore´s law published in 1965. In this period, the storage density has increased by a factor of about 100 million. Yet, this rapid development is approaching fundamental...
