Abstract A numerical method based on a finite element approach for modelling interface conditions in the context of diffusive transport is presented. Such interface conditions may result in concentration jumps due to drug partitioning and/or mass transfer effects. The p...

Abstract Models of a 36MW submerged arc ferrosilicon (FeSi) furnace have been developed for the simulation and evaluation of different control schemes in Hauksdottir et al. (1995, IEEE Trans. Control System Technol, 3(4), 377–387) and (Hauksdottir and Gestsson, 1996, Pr...

Le métabolisme des écosystèmes aquatiques fluviaux joue un rôle critique dans les cycles biogéochimiques planétaires. La complexité des habitats benthiques et l’aire disponible pour les microbes par rapport au volume d’eau qui s’écoule sont considérées comme des facteur...

The waste management issue in Ireland reached crisis proportions in the late 1990s. Reflecting on an all-Ireland empirical study of waste, this article develops a broader governance perspective and takes up the challenge of contributing to the sociology of waste. It si...

The incorporation of polarization in multiscale quantum-mechanics/molecular-mechanics (QM/MM) simulations is important for a variety of applications, for example, charge-transfer reactions. A recently developed formalism based on a density functional theory description ...

Origins of replication are activated throughout the S phase of the cell cycle such that some origins fire early and others fire late to ensure that each chromosome is completely replicated in a timely fashion. However, in response to DNA damage or replication fork stall...

We present both experimental and theoretical studies of the sticking of water molecules on ice. The sticking probability is unity over a wide range in energy (0.5 eV–1.5 eV) when the molecules are incident along the surface normal, but drops as the angle increases at hi...

Abstract Discharges of freshwater into the Arctic Ocean from rivers in Eurasia and North America account for approximately 11% of the global riverine freshwater input, and contain weathering products including dissolved continental boron. Much of this freshwater flows i...

Abstract We demonstrate applying synchrotron radiation based high resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy as a versatile in-situ tool to study the step-wise formation and nitridation of indium gallium (InGa) composite droplets on Si(1 1 1)7 × 7. This includes analys...

Despite the image of gender equality in Iceland, a highly gender-segregated labour market persists, which to a limited extent has been challenged by employment-related migration and ethnification in part of the labour market in recent years. The article, which is based ...
