WACline: A Software Product Line to harness heterogeneity in Web Annotation
(Elsevier, 2022-06)[EN] A significant amount of research project funding is spent creating customized annotation systems, reinventing the wheel once and again, developing the same common features. In this paper, we present WACline, a Software ... -
Wage stickiness and unemployment fluctuations: an alternative approach
(Springer, 2012-09)Erceg et al. (J Monet Econ 46:281-313, 2000) introduce sticky wages in a New-Keynesian general-equilibrium model. Alternatively, it is shown here how wage stickiness may bring unemployment fluctuations into a New-Keynesian ... -
Walker-like domain wall breakdown in layered antiferromagnets driven by staggered spin-orbit fields
(Nature, 2020-10-29)Within linear continuum theory, no magnetic texture can propagate faster than the maximum group velocity of the spin waves. Here, by atomistic spin dynamics simulations and supported by analytical theory, we report that a ... -
Wannier90 as a community code: new features and applications
(IOP Science, 2020-04-17)Wannier90 is an open-source computer program for calculating maximally-localised Wannier functions (MLWFs) from a set of Bloch states. It is interfaced to many widely used electronic-structure codes thanks to its independence ... -
Waste tyre valorization by catalytic pyrolysis – A review
(Elsevier, 2020-06-05)[EN] The environmental concern associated with waste tyre disposal and the necessity of sustainable waste management policies has promoted the development of waste tyre valorization processes in the last decades. Within ... -
Watch out, Sweetie: The Impact of Gender and Offence Type on Parents’ Altruistic Fear of Crime
(Springer, 2017-03-16)Altruistic fear of crime, that is, the fear that another person will become a victim of crime, is frequent and relevant, especially among parents for their children, but it has received much less attention than personal ... -
Water Adsorption on the β-Dicalcium Silicate Surface from DFT Simulations
(MDPI, 2018-09-04)beta-dicalcium silicate (beta-Ca2SiO4 or beta-C2S in cement chemistry notation) is one of the most important minerals in cement. An improvement of its hydration rate would be the key point for developing environmentally-friendly ... -
Water diversion and pollution interactively shape freshwater food webs through bottom-up mechanisms
(Wiley, 2022-02)[EN] Water diversion and pollution are two pervasive stressors in river ecosystems that often co-occur. Individual effects of both stressors on basal resources available to stream communities have been described, with ... -
Water Reuse Study from Urban WWTPs via c-Ultrafiltration and Ozonation Technologies: Basis for Resilient Cities and Agriculture
(MDPI, 2021-02-12)The water–development nexus is essential for the advancement and progress of cities in the face of problems such as climate change, water security and increasing environmental stress in the agricultural sector. Aiming for ... -
Water Sculpts the Distinctive Shapes and Dynamics of the Tumor-Associated Carbohydrate Tn Antigens: Implications for Their Molecular Recognition
(ACS, 2018-07-13)The tumor-associated carbohydrate Tn antigens include two variants, αGalNAc-O-Thr and αGalNAc-O-Ser. In solution, they exhibit dissimilar shapes and dynamics and bind differently to the same protein receptor. Here, we ... -
Water Uptake Behavior and Young Modulus Prediction of Composites Based on Treated Sisal Fibers and Poly(Lactic Acid)
(MDPI, 2016-05)The main aim of this work was to study the effect of sisal fiber surface treatments on water uptake behavior of composites based on untreated and treated fibers. For this purpose, sisal fibers were treated with different ... -
Water-Based Suspensions of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles with Electrostatic or Steric Stabilization by Chitosan: Fabrication, Characterization and Biocompatibility
(MDPI, 2017-11-13)Present day biomedical applications, including magnetic biosensing, demand better understanding of the interactions between living systems and magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). In this work spherical MNPs of maghemite were ... -
Waterborne Acrylate-Based Hybrid Coatings with Enhanced Resistance Properties on Stone Surfaces
(MDPI, 2018-08)The application of coating polymers to building materials is a simple and cheap way to preserve and protect surfaces from weathering phenomena. Due to its environmentally friendly character, waterborne coating is the most ... -
Waterborne hybrid polyurethane coatings containing Casein as sustainable green flame retardant through different synthesis approaches
(Elsevier, 2023-01)Waterborne polyurethane (WPU) dispersions were prepared for flame retardant coatings. Specifically, alkoxysilane-capped polycaprolactone-based WPUs were synthesized employing the acetone process, and Casein, as a green and ... -
We can work it out: an enactive look at cooperation
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2014-08-08)The past years have seen an increasing debate on cooperation and its unique human character. Philosophers and psychologists have proposed that cooperative activities are characterized by shared goals to which participants ... -
We should not vaccinate the young to protect the old: a response to Giubilini, Savulescu, and Wilkinson.
(Oxford University Press, 2021-05-19)A recent article by Giubilini, Savulescu, and Wilkinson1 exposes an ethical issue that deserves careful analysis: should we vaccinate children to save the old? The answer provided by the authors is ‘yes’ under the condition ... -
