The development of affordable and earth-abundant electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) has attracted great attention in recent years. The effective production of molecular hydrogen is of crucial ...

Due to the ageing population, the rate of the eye diseases has increased globally. Thus, there is a great need to develop more effective ophthalmic drugs and dosing methods. Ocular diseases are often treated with eye-drops ...

Nonlinear light-matter interactions can lead to second-harmonic generation (SHG) or frequency doubling of light. Previously, we have measured SHG from nanoparticle arrays using just one incident wavelength. In order to ...

In spite of the extensive studies, which have been carried out on the selective deoxygenation of secondary alcohols, it still poses a formidable challenge. The recent discovery of the reduction of salicylaldehydes with a ...

The purpose of this study was to investigate and evaluate the current technical performance of ultrasound imaging device displays in the Hospital District of South Ostrobothnia and in Pirkanmaa Hospital District. Ultrasound ...

A mixed lattice group is a generalization of a lattice ordered group. The theory of mixed lattice semigroups dates back to the 1970s, but the corresponding theory for groups has been relatively unexplored. In this thesis ...

Vulcanization is the process of cross-linking rubber to form a three-dimensional network giving rubber its characteristic properties. The most common form of vulcanization is sulfur vulcanization, where sulfur atoms form ...

Plastics have, in imaging applications, mostly replaced glass as the most common optical material. However, as there is a constant demand for better and better cameras, manufacturers are starting to hit limits of optical ...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are organic compounds that are emitted into the atmosphere mainly through incomplete combustion of fossil fuels and biomass. The lifecycle of PAHs especially in urban atmosphere is ...

The performance of machine learning methods depends on the data they are given. Real life data sets can be incomplete and consist of various types of data. However, many methods are capable of handling only nominal and ...
