Rainfall erosivity mapping for Santiago Island, Cape Verde [PDF]

, 2014
Erosivity, the potential of rainfall to detach soil particles, is a parameter used in several models to link rainfall and soil losses. Erosivity is usually calculated from high temporal resolution rainfall during a long period of time, and data is not ...

Functional Disorder at the Neural Interface: How Disordered Nanostructures Promote Proper Growth and Differentiation in In Vitro Neural Cultures

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work provides a practical guide for neuroengineers to design advanced neural interfaces, embracing and tailoring the concept of functional disorder. By bridging 2D and 3D in vitro models, this work highlights how non‐periodic, spatially heterogeneous, multiscale nanotopography can enable more physiologically relevant platforms for studying neural ...
