Drivers of migration intentions in the Volta Delta: Investigating the effect of climate-related hazards and adaptation strategies

open access: yesFrontiers in Climate, 2022
The decision to migrate involves multiple causes and motivations with environmental factors subsumed by economic and other dimensions. Deltas are rich in natural resources but are also vulnerable to environmental hazards making them a hotspot for out ...

Assessing climate change projections in the Volta Basin using the CORDEX-Africa climate simulations and statistical bias-correction

open access: yesEnvironmental Challenges, 2022
Climate change potential impacts are evaluated through the changes in the local and regional climate. However, Global and Regional Climate simulated outputs do not often capture these changes well, hampering their direct applicability.

Structure and Volta Potential of Lipid Multilayers: Effect of X-ray Irradiation

open access: yesLangmuir, 2012
The effect of hard X-ray radiation on the structure and electrostatics of solid-supported lipid multilayer membranes is investigated using a scanning Kelvin probe (SKP) integrated with a high-energy synchrotron beamline to enable in situ measurements of the membranes' local Volta potential (V(p)) during X-ray structural characterization.

Dead or “undead”? The curious and untidy history of Volta’s concept of “contact potential”

open access: yesScience in Context, 2021
ArgumentMuch of the long controversy concerning the workings of electric batteries revolved around the concept of the contact potential (especially between different types of metals), originated by Alessandro Volta in the late eighteenth century. Although Volta’s original theory of batteries has been thoroughly rejected and most discussions in today’s ...

Contrasting changes in hydrological processes of the Volta River basin under global warming [PDF]

open access: yesHydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2022
A comprehensive evaluation of the impacts of climate change on water resources of the West Africa Volta River basin is conducted in this study, as the region is expected to be hardest hit by global warming.

Volta potential phase plate for in-focus phase contrast transmission electron microscopy [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014
Significance Biological electron cryomicroscopy is limited by the radiation sensitivity of the samples and the consequent need to minimize exposure to the beam. This, in turn, results in low-contrast images with a poor signal-to-noise ratio.

Impact of grain orientation and phase on Volta potential differences in an additively manufactured titanium alloy

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2021
This work introduces a method for co-localized multi-modal imaging of sub-μm features in an additively manufactured (AM) titanium alloy. Ti-6Al-4V parts manufactured by electron beam melting powder bed fusion were subjected to hot isostatic pressing to ...
