Gravitational waves from compact binary mergers are now routinely observed by Earth-bound detectors. These observations enable exciting new science, as they have opened a new window to the Universe. However, extracting ...

In the past century, the development of gravimeters with low uncertainty and long-term stability has led to new fields of research in geodesy and geoscience. Decreasing the instrumental measurement uncertainty further will ...

For applications in optical communication, sensing or information projection in automotive lighting, polymer based optical devices are of keen interest. Optical structures such as waveguides and gratings are basic blocks ...

The exploitation of nonlinear effects in multi-layer thin films allows for optics with novel functions, such as all-optical switching and frequency conversion. In this contribution, an improved interferometric setup for ...

Researchers and practitioners employ a variety of time-series processes to forecast betas, using either short-memory models or implicitly imposing infinite memory. We find that both approaches are inadequate: beta factors ...

Novel high-throughput cultivation techniques create a demand to pre-select strains for in-depth follow-up studies. We report a workflow to identify promising producers of novel natural products by systematically characterizing ...

Background: With the introduction of biologics the treatment landscape for patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has rapidly expanded; however, according to German and European treatment guidelines the use of biologic ...

The coordination polymer CPO-27-Mg was rapidly synthesized under microwave irra-diation. This material exhibits a sufficiently high drug loading towards aspirin (~8% wt.) and paracetamol (~14% wt.). The binding of these ...

The discovery of spatio-temporal dependencies within urban road networks that cause Recurrent Congestion (RC) patterns is crucial for numerous real-world applications, including urban planning and the scheduling of public ...
