471. Coseismic liquefaction phenomenon analysis by COSMO-SkyMed: 2012 Emilia (Italy) earthquake
Date: 12-08-15 

The liquefaction phenomenon that occurred in the coseismic phase of the May 20, 2012 Emilia (Italy) earthquake (ML 5.9) is investigated. It was induced by the water pressure increase in the buried

472. Hybrid improper ferroelectricity in multiferroic superlattices: finite-temperature properties and electric-field-driven switching of polarization and magnetization
Date: 25-06-15 

The so-called hybrid improper ferroelectricity (HIF) mechanism allows to create an electrical polarization by assembling two nonpolar materials within a superlattice. It may also lead to the control

473. Improvement of the photocatalytic degradation property of atomic layer deposited ZnO thin films: the interplay between film properties and functional performances
Date: 05-06-15 

In this work, we have evidenced the impact of stoichiometry on the photocatalytic properties of ZnO nanofilms grown by atomic layer deposition (ALD). We point out the importance of hydrogen

474. Synthesis and magnetic properties of Ta/NdFeB-based composite microwires
Date: 05-06-15 

Magnetic NdFeB-based microwire composites have been prepared by the direct current magnetron sputtering technique in a specifically designed sputtering chamber for thin-film deposition in wire

475. Preserving prediction accuracy on incomplete data streams
Date: 02-06-15 

Model tree is a useful and convenient method for predictive analytics in data streams, combining the interpretability of decision trees with the efficiency of multiple linear regressions. However,

476. Comparison of ozone deposition measured with the dynamic chamber and the eddy covariance method
Date: 02-04-15 

Nowadays, eddy covariance is the state-of-the-art method to quantify turbulent exchange fluxes in the surface boundary layer. In the absence of instruments suitable for high-frequency measurements,

477. A comparison of HONO budgets for two measurement heights at a field station within the boreal forest in Finland
Date: 27-01-15 

Atmospheric concentrations of nitrous acid (HONO), one of the major precursors of the hydroxyl radical (OH) in the troposphere, significantly exceed the values predicted by the assumption of a

478. Plasma polymerisation of an allyl organophosphate monomer by atmospheric pressure pulsed-PECVD: Insights into the growth mechanisms
Date: 15-01-15 

Atmospheric plasma deposition of DiEthylAllyl Phosphate (DEAP) has been performed to study the behaviour of an allylic phosphate-based monomer in a nitrogen Atmospheric Pressure-Dielectric Barrier

479. Using atmospheric plasma to design multilayer film from polylactic acid and thermoplastic starch: a screening Life Cycle Assessment
Date: 16-01-15 

The accumulation of plastic waste and the increasing awareness of the environmental implications and technical challenges associated to their treatment and recycling have led to a constant increase

480. Single second laser annealed CuInSe2 semiconductors from electrodeposited precursors as absorber layers for solar cells
Date: 31-12-14 

Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGSe) is a polycrystalline absorber layer in thin film solar cells with solar conversion efficiencies exceeding 20%. High temperature annealing for periods of minutes to hours is
