461. Influence of fluid flow and heat transfer on crack propagation in SOFC multi-layered like material with anisotropic porous layers
Date: 20-01-16 

An advanced numerical model based on the eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM) is developed and used to investigate the effect of heat transfer and fluid flow on crack propagation in multi-layered

462. Electrical phase diagram of bulk BiFeO3
Date: 04-01-16 

We study the electrical behavior of multiferroic BiFeO3 by means of first-principles calculations. We do so by constraining a specific component of the electric displacement field along a variety of

463. The fourth phase of the radiative transfer model intercomparison (RAMI) exercise: Actual canopy scenarios and conformity testing
Date: 17-11-15 

The RAdiative transfer Model Intercomparison (RAMI) activity focuses on the benchmarking of canopy radiative transfer (RT) models. For the current fourth phase of RAMI, six highly realistic virtual

464. Tailoring the room temperature ferroelectric/paraelectric state in polycrystalline (Ba0.70Sr0.30)TiO3 thin films for silicon compatible integration
Date: 07-10-15 

Polycrystalline (Ba0.70Sr0.30)TiO3 (BST) thin films were prepared by ion beam sputtering and postdeposition annealing method, and their crystallization kinetics was monitored in situ. It was found

465. Micromechanics-based multi-site modeling of elastoplastic behavior of composite materials
Date: 07-10-15 

The Multi-Site Mori–Tanaka (MSMT) scheme is used to derive the macroscopic response of elastoplastic composites with ordered microstructures. The key point of the multi-site modeling remains the

466. Bismuth-based perovskites as multiferroics
Date: 18-09-15 

This review devoted to multiferroic properties of bismuth-based perovskites is divided into two parts. The first one focuses on BiFeO3BiFeO3 and summarizes the recent progress made in the studies of

467. Proteomic analysis of apoplastic fluid of Coffea arabica leaves highlights novel biomarkers for resistance against Hemileia vastatrix
Date: 17-09-15 

A proteomic analysis of the apoplastic fluid (APF) of coffee leaves was conducted to investigate the cellular processes associated with incompatible (resistant) and compatible (susceptible) Coffea

468. Comparative proteomic analysis of lung tissue from guinea pigs with leptospiral pulmonary haemorrhage syndrome (LPHS) reveals a decrease in abundance of host proteins involved in cytoskeletal and cellular organization
Date: 21-08-15 

Leptospiral pulmonary haemorrhage syndrome (LPHS) is a particularly severe form of leptospirosis. LPHS is increasingly recognized in both humans and animals and is characterized by rapidly

469. Cosesimic liquefaction phenomena from DInSAR after the May 20, 2012 Emilia earthquake
Date: 19-08-15 

In this paper, we have investigated the capability of Differential Interferometry Synthetic Aperture Radar (DInSAR) technique to detect the ground effects induced by liquefaction phenomena occurred

470. Mind the gap-deficits in our knowledge of aspects impacting the bioavailability of phytochemicals and their metabolites-a position paper focusing on carotenoids and polyphenols
Date: 19-08-15 

Various secondary plant metabolites or phytochemicals, including polyphenols and carotenoids, have been associated with a variety of health benefits, such as reduced incidence of type 2 diabetes,
