complement the commonly reported transfer from the ligands to the metal cores. The second goal is to examine the deficiencies of simplified models in predicting VCD spectra of these clusters, which have been commonly applied in previous pioneering research reports, by using the experimental data and the full

states. Considerable theoretical modelling, coupled with symmetry consideration in vibronic coupling, was carried out to extract structural information and gain further insights into the enhancement mechanisms.

As a result, regular preventive maintenance of the drainage system is extremely important since replacement is not only costly, but, more importantly, can disturb the

Traditionally, rock masses are considered as a continuous, homogeneous, isotropic and linear elastic material in engineering practice. However, they commonly occur as discontinuous, inhomogeneous, anisotropic

Biot effective stress coefficient, disregarded in most numerical coupling methods, is rigorously included in the thermo-poromechanical coupling formulation. The small and large scale structural features present in the reservoir such as joints and major faults are represented by a DFN. The complex fluid

The ability of cancer cells to metastasize is often preceded by a process called epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), an extensive cellular rearrangement, which confers structural and molecular features to cells, enabling them to leave their

that the ability of CRMP2A to regulate these important cell fate decisions relies on the remodeling of the cytoskeleton, which in turn regulates several EMT-related processes, such as transcription factor trafficking and ciliogenesis. This is one of the very few reports that a single MAP, like CRMP2A

structural analysis indicates that the production and emplacement of alkalic and tholeiitic magmas are spatially segregated by the tectonic domains of the Sverdrup Basin. Six U-Pb and four Ar/Ar ages obtained in the present study range from 122 ± 2 Ma to 78.5 ± 1.8 Ma, within the range of previously

published results for the HALIP. The U-Pb ages are the first reported on mafic intrusive sheets on Axel Heiberg and Ellesmere Islands, including two coincident age determinations at ~117 Ma, which is an age that previous studies have yet to report. In addition, the discovery of a xenocrystic zircon, within

It has been argued that HEAs exhibit high configurational entropy features that arise from compositionally complex mixing, which enable them to stabilize a single-phase solid solution structure. Owing to the solid solution phase formations, these alloys have shown immense structural properties

exploration of high entropy alloys in conjunction with thermal spraying techniques to address numerous challenges in extreme engineering environments is still in their early stage of development. Only a few studies were attempted to develop thermal-sprayed HEA coatings to protect against wear and corrosion

Wellbores provide access to a reservoir and may serve as preferential flow paths by allowing upward migration of injected CO2. This migration, unlike

The methodology presented systematically identifies and estimates the effect of each of the physical and chemical processes responsible for the alteration of the transport properties
