We report on impedance measurements of nano- and microcrystalline composites of the Li ion conductor Li2O and the ionic insulator B2O3 as well as their interpretation in the frame of percolation models. In the experimental ...

Celitement is a new type of cement that is based on hydraulic calcium-hydrosilicate (hCHS). It is produced by mechanochemical activation of Calcium-Silicate-Hydrates (C-S-H) in a grinding process. Due to the lack of typical ...

Microinfiltrometers to assess soil water repellency (SWR) are limited to small tension ranges and have different technical setups, hindering a comparison between results from different laboratories. Hence, a microinfiltrometer ...

In this work, we have explored 3-D co-culture of vasculogenic cells within a synthetically modified fibrin hydrogel. Fibrinogen was covalently linked with PEG-NHS in order to improve its degradability resistance and ...

Edible mushrooms are widely appreciated for their appealing flavours, low caloric values and high content of presumably health-protecting metabolites. Their long history of safe use together with the looming worldwide food ...

Environmental hazards are caused by uranium mining legacies and enhanced radioactivity in utilized groundwater and surface water resources. Knowledge of uranium speciation in these waters is essential for predicting ...
