The Euro Area Crisis: Politics over Economics
(Springer US, 2014-07)This paper explores the dominant role of politics in decisions made by euro area governments during the crisis. Decisions that appear to have been driven by local political considerations to the detriment of the euro area ... -
The Europa Clipper Magnetometer
(Springer Netherlands, 2023-09-07)Abstract Global-scale properties of Europa’s putative ocean, including its depth, thickness, and conductivity, can be established from measurements of the magnetic field on multiple close flybys of the moon ... -
European emissions of the powerful greenhouse gases hydrofluorocarbons inferred from atmospheric measurements and their comparison with annual national reports to UNFCCC
(Elsevier BV, 2017-06)Hydrofluorocarbons are powerful greenhouse gases developed by industry after the phase-out of the ozone depleting chlorofluorocarbons and hydrochlorofluorocarbons required by the Montreal Protocol. The climate benefit of ... -
European sea bass show behavioural resilience to near-future ocean acidification
(Royal Society, 2016-11)Ocean acidification (OA)—caused by rising concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO₂)—is thought to be a major threat to marine ecosystems and has been shown to induce behavioural alterations in fish. Here we show behavioural ... -
EUV detection of high-frequency surface acoustic waves
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2009-08)We use coherent extreme ultraviolet radiation to probe surface acoustic wave propagation in nickel-on-sapphire nanostructures. We observe no acoustic dispersion over SAW wavelengths down to 200 nm, meaning the SAW propagation ... -
eV-Scale Sterile Neutrino Search Using Eight Years of Atmospheric Muon Neutrino Data from the IceCube Neutrino Observatory
(American Physical Society (APS), 2020)© 2020 authors. Published by the American Physical Society. Published by the American Physical Society under the terms of the "https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International ... -
Evaluated Crop Evapotranspiration over a Region of Irrigated Orchards with the Improved ACASA–WRF Model
(American Meteorological Society, 2014-04)Among the uncertain consequences of climate change on agriculture are changes in timing and quantity of precipitation together with predicted higher temperatures and changes in length of growing season. The understanding ... -
Evaluating air traffic flow management in a collaborative decision-making environment
(Transportation Research Board, 2011-07)The collaborative decision-making (CDM) framework introduced into ground delay programs in the late 1990s is an integral component of FAA's traffic flow management (TFM) procedures. CDM allows FAA to act as a mediator when ... -
Evaluating Alternatives to Water as Solvents for Life: The Example of Sulfuric Acid
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2021-04-27)The chemistry of life requires a solvent, which for life on Earth is water. Several alternative solvents have been suggested, but there is little quantitative analysis of their suitability as solvents for life. To support ... -
Evaluating an app-guided self-test for influenza: lessons learned for improving the feasibility of study designs to evaluate self-tests for respiratory viruses
(BioMed Central, 2021-06-29)Abstract Background Seasonal influenza leads to significant morbidity and mortality. Rapid self-tests could improve access to influenza testing in community settings. We ... -
Evaluating and clustering retrosynthesis pathways with learned strategy
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2021)With recent advances in the computer-aided synthesis planning (CASP) powered by data science and machine learning, modern CASP programs can rapidly identify thousands of potential pathways for a given target molecule. ... -
Evaluating and validating emotion elicitation using English and Arabic movie clips on a Saudi sample
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2019-05-14)With the advancement of technology in both hardware and software, estimating human affective states has become possible. Currently, movie clips are used as they are a widely-accepted method of eliciting emotions in a ... -
Evaluating anesthetic protocols for functional blood flow imaging in the rat eye
(SPIE, 2017-01)The purpose of this study is to evaluate the suitability of five different anesthetic protocols (isoflurane, isoflurane–xylazine, pentobarbital, ketamine–xylazine, and ketamine–xylazine–vecuronium) for functional blood ... -
Evaluating Angiogenic Potential of Small Molecules Using Genetic Network Approaches
(Springer International Publishing, 2018-09)Control of microvascular network growth is critical to treatment of ischemic tissue diseases and enhancing regenerative capacity of tissue engineering implants. Conventional therapeutic strategies for inducing angiogenesis ... -
Evaluating assumptions of scales for subjective assessment of thermal environments – Do laypersons perceive them the way, we researchers believe?
(Elsevier BV, 2020)© 2020 People's subjective response to any thermal environment is commonly investigated by using rating scales describing the degree of thermal sensation, comfort, and acceptability. Subsequent analyses of results collected ... -

Evaluating atmospheric mercury (Hg) uptake by vegetation in a chemistry-transport model
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2022)<jats:p>We study the uptake of atmospheric mercury by vegetation in a chemical transport model and available observations. Due to the importance of this sink in the global mercury cycle, perturbations to forested areas can ... -
Evaluating Autonomous Urban Perception and Planning in a 1/10th Scale MiniCity
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2022-09-08)We present the MiniCity, a multi-vehicle evaluation platform for testing perception hardware and software for autonomous vehicles. The MiniCity is a 1/10th scale city consisting of realistic urban scenery, intersections, ...
