Looking at Soil as It Is: Evolution of Microscopic Soil Characterization From Kubiëna to Artificial Intelligence

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
We provide a historic overview of microscopic soil structure characterization from its founding father, Walter Kubiëna, to several technical revolutions like automation, digitalization, and artificial intelligence. In addition to technical advancements, we explore how concepts and research questions have evolved in time.

Gait Stability Training in a Virtual Environment Improves Gait and Dynamic Balance Capacity in Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury Patients

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2018
Many patients with incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI) have impaired gait and balance capacity, which may impact daily functioning. Reduced walking speed and impaired gait stability are considered important underlying factors for reduced daily ...

In Pursuit of the Holy Grail

open access: yesJACC: Cardiovascular Imaging, 2015
Imaging of the right ventricle (RV) has gained popularity. Terms such as “the forgotten ventricle” or “difficulties in assessing RV function attributed to its shape” are frequently used as opening statements in new research.

Application of Magnesium Metal as Anode in Batteries

open access: yesMetalMat, EarlyView.
When used as an anode, magnesium metal offers several advantages, including a high volumetric capacity, environmental friendliness, abundant natural reserves, and a low tendency for dendrite growth. Battery types employing magnesium as the anode include rechargeable magnesium‐ion batteries, aqueous magnesium‐ion batteries, magnesium–air batteries, and ...

Asymmetric transferability of trait–environment relationships between native and exotic plant species in Singaporean forests differing in land‐use history

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Functional traits allow ecologists to synthesise general rules of community assembly. In joint species distribution modelling, traits are increasingly used to explain species–environment relationships, with the intention of being able to generalise predictions to other species in other systems.

Real‐Time Conformal Maps and Parameterizations

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We present a simple algorithm to conformally map between two simple and bounded planar domains based on the concept of harmonic measure, which is a conformal invariant. With suitable preprocessing, the algorithm is fast enough to compute all possible conformal maps (having three real degrees of freedom) between the two domains in real time in

Child First Collaboration: Reconceptualising the Child‐Adult Relationship in Youth Justice Contexts

open access: yesChildren &Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Collaboration with justice‐involved children is a central tenet of the ‘Child First’ guiding principle for the Youth Justice System of England and Wales. However, exactly what constitutes ‘collaboration’ is moot in policy, practice and research with vulnerable children in contact with support systems, and currently neglected within youth ...

Pursuing the “Holy Grail” [PDF]

open access: yesCirculation: Cardiovascular Imaging, 2012
Over the past decade, several large, randomized trials have allowed us to better define the appropriate population for primary prevention implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) placement, saving thousands of lives every year. MADIT II (Multicenter Automatic Defibrillator Implantation Trial II) and SCD-HeFT (Sudden Cardiac Death in Heart Failure ...

The road to hell is paved with good intentions: A review and research agenda on rebound effects and win–win strategies

open access: yesInternational Journal of Management Reviews, EarlyView.
Abstract Rebound effects describe how efficiency improvements in energy or resource use can increase demand, thereby partially or fully offsetting expected environmental savings. This dynamic complicates win–win strategies that aim to improve environmental and financial performance.
