Arat, K.T. (author), Klimpel, Thomas (author), Hagen, C.W. (author)Background: Charging of insulators is a complex phenomenon to simulate since the accuracy of the simulations is very sensitive to the interaction of electrons with matter and electric fields. Aim: In this study, we report model improvements for a previously developed Monte-Carlo simulator to more accurately simulate samples that charge....journal article 2019

Rems, L. (author), Viano, Marilyne (author), Kasimova, Marina A. (author), Miklavčič, Damijan (author), Tarek, Mounir (author)Electroporation or electropermeabilization is a technique that enables transient increase in the cell membrane permeability by exposing cells to pulsed electric field. However, the molecular mechanisms of the long-lived cell membrane permeability, which persists on the minutes time scale after the pulse treatment, remain elusive. Experimental...journal article 2019

Sarasua, Alvaro (author), Urbano, Julián (author), Gómez, Emilia (author)Metaphors are commonly used in interface design within Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). Interface metaphors provide users with a way to interact with the computer that resembles a known activity, giving instantaneous knowledge or intuition about how the interaction works. A widely used one in Digital Musical Instruments (DMIs) is the conductor...journal article 2019

Jia, Jinhao (author), Bai, Shuxin (author), Xiong, Degan (author), Wang, Jie (author), Chang, J. (author)Tungsten coatings were deposited on diamond particles by vacuum magnetron sputtering. The coated diamond particles were firstly heat treated at different temperatures, and diamond/copper (Cu) composites were fabricated by using a pressureless infiltration method afterwards.

Jarai, Antal A. (author), Ruszel, W.M. (author), Saada, Ellen (author)We show that in Abelian sandpiles on infinite Galton–Watson trees, the probability that the total avalanche has more than t topplings decays as t<sup>- 1 / 2</sup>. We prove both quenched and annealed bounds, under suitable moment conditions. Our proofs are based on an analysis of the conductance martingale of Morris (Probab Theory Relat...journal article 2019

van Wee, G.P. (author)In addition to a code of conduct for researchers, it is desirable to implement a code of conduct for funders of research. This is because researchers often behave unethically as a result of direct and/or indirect pressure from funders. The paper provides an expansion of the first proposal for such a code of conduct and includes several...journal article 2019

Felter, K.M. (author), Caselli, V.M. (author), Gunbas, D.D. (author), Savenije, T.J. (author), Grozema, F.C. (author)Two of the key parameters that characterize the usefulness of organic semiconductors for organic or hybrid organic/inorganic solar cells are the mobility of charges and the diffusion length of excitons. Both parameters are strongly related to the supramolecular organization in the material. In this work we have investigated the relation...journal article 2019
