Information Systems (IS) outsourcing is a growing phenomenon in present-day firms that has generally been characterised with an insufficient level of detail and analysis. This is mainly due to the fact that outsourcing has been studied as a set of…

The aim of this paper is the characterization of a carbon felt (Le Carbone
Lorraine, RVC 4002) to be used as three-dimensional electrode. A wide
group of very different techniques were used in the physical and structural
characterization of this…

Despite increased numbers of female researchers, women still face more difficulties than their male counterparts when it comes to publishing their work and having it read and cited. In this editorial, the main recommendations are detailed in order to promote…

The mass transport rates to planar electrodes, in a series of electrochemical laboratory filter-press reactors were measured to quantify the effects of the inlet and outlet design manifolds on the fluid flow. In small reactors, entrance/exit effects are especially important…

The electroreflectance (ER) technique has been applied to the study of a Pt(111) electrode in different acidic and alkaline electrolytes. The variation in the normalised potential derivative of the reflectance signal, 1/R(dR/dE) is observed in sulphuric and perchloric acid media…

A comparison between different emission rates of various pollutants obtained from various wastes is presented. The studied wastes were the following: polyethylene (PE), tyres, sewage sludges, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), cotton textiles, polyester textiles, meat and bone meals (MBMs), varnish wastes,…

PURPOSE: To compare the visual results of presbyLASIK patients to the best theoretical pseudoaccommodation that could be achieved using a multifocal refractive intraocular lens (IOL) model based on the optical
structure of a simulated AMO Array multifocal IOL.
METHODS: The…

Public health draws from a range of academic disciplines, social, medical and statistical, and answers questions relevant to improving the health of populations. We have initiated a Europe-wide study, Strengthening Public Health Research in Europe, to assess the development and…

In a solvable linear optimization problem, a constraint is saturated if it is binding at a certain optimal solution and it is weakly saturated if it is binding at a proper subset of the optimal set. Nonsaturation and weak saturation…

Electrocrystallisation of lead dioxide on glassy carbon electrodes was studied in 1 M HNO3+ 0.1 M Pb(NO3)2 in the presence of ultrasound using chronoamperometry and scanning electron microscopy. In order to compare these results with those obtained in the absence…
