Global Biodiversity Scenarios for the Year 2100

Scenarios of changes in biodiversity for the year 2100 can now be developed based on scenarios of changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide, climate, vegetation, and land use and th...

Molecular mechanisms of cell death: recommendations of the Nomenclature Committee on Cell Death 2018

Over the past decade, the Nomenclature Committee on Cell Death (NCCD) has formulated guidelines for the definition and interpretation of cell death from morphological, biochemic...

Theory of the Residual Resistivity of Bloch Walls I. Paramagnetic Effects

Abstract The contribution of Bloch‐wall electron‐scattering to the electrical resistivity of a ferromagnetic metal is calculated. Calculations are carried out for various cases ...

Theory of the Residual Resistivity of Bloch Walls. II. Inclusion of Diamagnetic Effects

Abstract Diamagnetic effects are included in the calculation of the electrical resistivity of a Bloch wall in a ferromagnetic metal. The resulting electron orbits, which are con...

Confidence limits of evolutionary synthesis models

Evolutionary synthesis models are a fundamental tool to interpret the properties of observed stellar systems. In order to achieve a meaningful comparison between models and real...

Implantation of the Human Embryo: Research Lines and Models

Infertility is an increasing problem all over the world, and it has been estimated that 10–15% of couples in fertile age have fertility problems. Likewise induced unsafe abortio...

Prewhitening of Climatological Time Series

The most common procedures to prewhite a climatological time series are considered and compared with those based on Fourier analysis. In particular, advantages and shortcomings ...

A Computationally Efficient and Reliable Bond Order Measure

Bond order indexes are useful measures that connect quantum mechanical results with chemical understanding. One of these measures, the natural bond order index, based on the nat...
