Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.This study investigates the antifungal efficacy of ultrashort pulsed laser‐induced periodic surface structures (USP‐DLIP) on copper, brass, and steel surfaces. Using Aspergillus niger as a model, the research highlights a 99% reduction in spore viability on 9 µm structured copper surfaces due to enhanced copper ion release. Scanning electron microscopy

A General Equilibrium Theorem for the Economy of Giving [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 In [1] we presented a model for transactions when goods are given away in the expectation of a later settlement. In settings where people keep track of their social accounts we were able to redefine concepts like account balance, yield curve and the law of diminishing returns. In this paper we establish a general equilibrium theorem, conjectured in [1],

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.The design, optimization and characterization of a new bilayer painting system is presented. The underlying layer is engineered to provide exceptional thermal insulation through the synergistic effect of hollow perlite microspheres and micrometer‐sized cellulose particles. The external painting layer is designed to induce the formation of a homogeneous

Capturing the power options smile by an additive two-factor model for overlapping futures prices [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 In this paper we introduce an additive two-factor model for electricity futures prices based on Normal Inverse Gaussian L\'evy processes, that fulfills a no-overlapping-arbitrage (NOA) condition. We compute European option prices by Fourier transform methods, introduce a specific calibration procedure that takes into account no-arbitrage constraints ...

Dynamics and Spatial Distribution of Global Nighttime Lights [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 Using open source data, we observe the fascinating dynamics of nighttime light. Following a global economic regime shift, the planetary center of light can be seen moving eastwards at a pace of about 60 km per year. Introducing spatial light Gini coefficients, we find a universal pattern of human settlements across different countries and see a global ...
