Intrastate conflicts in Sub-Saharan Africa are a development tragedy and a security dilemma that requires more prevention and better intervention from the international community. Such engagement necessitates a robust ...

Traditional underwater communication technology includes either the propagation of energy in the form of acoustic pressure waves or extremely low frequency electromagnetic radiation. Although today’s acoustic technology ...

Modern research on the phenomena of attention has motivated an increasingly nuanced view of its subsystems and their relations. However, popular tools for the measurement thereof are limited in their design in ways that ...

Aging in biological organisms is a complex process, involving changes at all levels of functioning. No single pathway or mechanism is responsible for aging, leading to the current understanding that aging is due to a number ...

The wood turtle, Glyptemys insculpta, is listed as threatened federally in Canada and provincially in Nova Scotia (NS) and New Brunswick (NB). Historic surveying for G. insculpta in these provinces has been arbitrary ...

Conventional building design is not aligned with modern housing requirements. Growing energy demand, international pressure to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and increasing cost of energy motivate the building energy ...

In the pursuit of increasingly efficient and/or new chemical transformations, homogeneous transition metal catalysts are proving to be invaluable components of the synthetic chemist’s toolbox. Notwithstanding the many ...

Despite significant progress made in the last twenty years, the crystal structure prediction (CSP) of organic molecular solids remains challenging, as the demand to predict more complex crystal structures increases. On ...

Density-functional theory has become an indispensible tool for studying matter on the atomic level, being routinely applied across diverse disciplines from solid-state physics to chemistry and molecular biology. Its ...
