The main objective of the BIOREMA (Reference Materials for Biofuel Specifications) project is the development of two test materials (one bio-ethanol material
Each year, wildland fires threaten structures and occupants of the wildland-urban interface (WUI). Currently, wildfire ignition estimates largely exclude

This manuscript describes a new method to generate purely diffusive chemical gradients that can be modified in time. The device is simple in its design and easy
We develop a metric to quantify the accuracy with which measured scattering parameters can be cascaded. We use the metric to compare four rectangular-waveguide
We consider general weighted surface energies, where the energies have the form of weighted integrals over a closed surface and the weight depends on the normal

We report surface plasmon polariton (SPP) mediated Raman microscopy on dielectric films in contact with a Ag layer at 785 nm with spatial resolution approaching
The effect of the charged lidocaine on the structure and dynamics of DMPC/DMPG (mass fraction of 95/5}) unilamellar vesicles has been investigated. Changes in

A metafilm is a type of metasurface---a two-dimensional equivalent of a metamaterial, and is essentially a surface distribution of electrically small scatterers
Seismic risk has social and physical aspects: although very different in nature, they are intertwined and share striking similarities. Seismic risk assessment
