Black Lipid Membranes at Bifaces [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of General Physiology, 1968
Black lipid membranes (BLM) less than 90 A thick have been shown to be the most realistic approach to biological membrane models. This paper describes the formation characteristics, optical properties, and thermodynamics of BLM at water/oil/water bifaces.

Degradation of Crystalline Si‐Based Solar Modules With Varying Material Combinations—Part I: Encapsulant Degradation

open access: yesProgress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, EarlyView.
This work deals with the degradation of solar modules with varying material combinations under accelerated aging conditions. By in situ moisture measurements and simulations of oxygen ingress, the consumption of stabilizing additives and polymer degradation can be correlated spatially resolved with the penetrating stressors.

Technological variability during the Early Middle Palaeolithic in Western Europe. Reduction systems and predetermined products at the Bau de l'Aubesier and Payre (South-East France).

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
The study of the lithic assemblages of two French sites, the Bau de l'Aubesier and Payre, contributes new knowledge of the earliest Neanderthal techno-cultural variability.

Synergistic benefits of agrivoltaics for grape production and solar energy efficiency in a Mediterranean vineyard

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Grapevine production is increasingly challenged by global warming, with global wine output falling to a six‐decade low in 2024. At the same time, the vine and wine sector faces growing pressure to reduce its carbon footprint. Agrivoltaics, which integrates solar photovoltaic (PV) modules into plant production systems, offers a potential pathway to ...

A note on handaxe knapping products and their breakage taphonomy: an experimental view

open access: yesJournal of Lithic Studies, 2015
The notion that broken artifacts provide a good indication of the taphonomic history of lithic assemblages is commonly accepted in prehistoric archaeology.

Chiral Bifacial Indacenodithiophene‐Based Hole‐Transport Materials With Chirality‐Induced Spin Selectivity: Chirality‐Spin Polarity Correspondence and Perovskite Passivation

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Homochiral bifacial indacenodithiophene (IDT)‐based hole‐transport materials form amorphous spin‐coated films showing pronounced chirality‐induced spin selectivity (CISS) with spin polarization ≈ 60%, and reveal a robust chirality–spin‐polarity correspondence.

A reappraisal of the Middle to Later Stone Age prehistory of Morocco Réévaluer la préhistoire du Maroc, du Middle Stone Age au Later Stone Age

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Over the last 25 years, perceptions of the early prehistory of Northwest Africa have undergone radical changes due to new fieldwork projects and a corresponding growth in scientific interest in the region. Much of this work has been focused in Morocco, known for its extremely rich fossil and archaeological records in caves and rock shelters.

The role of the Eastern Mediterranean in human evolution: recent results from Greece Le rôle du Bassin méditerranéen oriental dans l’évolution humaine : résultats récents en Grèce

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
The Eastern Mediterranean lies directly on the principal migration route for human groups dispersing across Africa, Europe, and Asia. It also encompasses the Balkans, where fauna and flora, as well as hominin populations, are thought to have persisted through glacial periods.

High handaxe symmetry at the beginning of the European Acheulian: The data from la Noira (France) in context.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
In the last few decades, new discoveries have pushed the beginning of the biface-rich European Acheulian from 500 thousand years (ka) ago back to at least 700 ka, and possibly to 1 million years (Ma) ago.

Lithic analysis in African archaeology: Advances and key themes

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Stone artifacts (lithics) preserve for extended periods; thus they are key evidence for probing the evolution of human technological behaviors. Africa boasts the oldest record of stone artifacts, spanning 3.3 Ma, rare instances of ethnographic stone tool‐making, and stone tool archives from diverse ecological settings, making it an anchor for ...
