Uncertainties in the rate of sea level rise, coupled with ongoing urban expansion, are a challenge for city planners designing flood risk adaptation strategies. This study quantifies flood exposure in Rotterdam's unembanked areas from 1970 to 2150. We modelled flood hazards for 10-, 100-, and 1000-year …

In nature, resources necessary for reproduction and survival are often spatially distributed or scarce. Parasitoid wasps are insects that develop as larvae in or on a single invertebrate resource (often another insect), while the adults are free-living and rely on carbohydrates, for example, floral nectar, …

Adsorbed natural gas (ANG) storage using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is a promising alter- native for efficient natural gas storage at moderate pressures. However, the presence of higher alkanes in natural gas mixtures can significantly affect storage performance by reducing methane adsorption capacity. …

Family breakup dynamics in mammals can be complex due to competing interests between parents and offspring. Parents need to balance their own as well as their offspring's fitness through either terminating care early or extending care. Yet, males can disrupt this trade-off as they may force females to …

Psychosocial ascriptions in psychosomatic therapy invite the patient not only to confirm and elaborate on their mental feelings, but also make relevant certain therapy goals. Establishing a shared understanding, or “common ground” regarding therapy-relevant topics are appointed by therapist and patient …

Clinical outcomes in ROS1-fusion positive (ROS1+) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by fusion partner and resistance mechanisms are limited. This cohort study included 56 ROS1+ patients (FISH or NGS confirmed); fusion partners were identified in 27 cases, including CD74 (n = 10), EZR (n = 7), and SDC4 …

Student success is a critically important concept in educational assessment and research, yet a comprehensive synthesis of its defining elements remains absent. To address this gap, a scoping review was conducted, identifying 274 peer-reviewed studies published between 2011 and 2022. From these studies, …

Extreem weer is een groeiende uitdaging voor agrariërs. Ze hebben vaker te maken met droogte en wateroverlast. Om klimaatrisico’s te beperken, investeren steeds meer agrariërs in water- en bodembeheer. Dit artikel presenteert praktijkervaringen en onderzoekt verschillen in de perceptie van klimaatrisico’s, …

To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, countries around the world are pursuing electrification policies. In residential areas, electrification will increase electricity supply and demand, which is expected to increase grid congestion at a faster rate than grids can be reinforced. Battery energy storage …

A novel synthetic approach to 2,6-bis(acrylamido)pyridine (BAAPy) has been developed, producing a dual-function monomer able to self-crosslink while providing functional binding sites through its amide and pyridine groups. The monomer's structure and purity were confirmed through NMR, FTIR, and HPLC …
