Abstract The need for policy makers to understand science and for scientists to understand policy processes is widely recognised. However, the science-policy relationship is sometimes…

Abstract We present a detailed experimental characterization of ultra-thin platinum-oxide films formed on metallic Pt surfaces using O2 plasma treatment. A monotonic consumption of the…

Abstract A method for fabricating ultra-flat template-stripped (TS) metal surfaces on standard silicon/silicon-oxide wafers by means of gold cold-welding is presented, and cold-welded template-stripped (CWTS)…

Abstract A facile method for the preparation of thin-film carbon electrodes by electron beam evaporation onto highly doped silicon is presented. The physical and electrochemical…

Abstract This paper provides a novel proof for the sufficiency of certain well-known criteria that guarantee the martingale property of a continuous, nonnegative local martingale.…

Abstract We report molecular dynamics calculations of the phase transition of copper precipitates in iron. We simulate a precipitate having undergone a phase transition from…

Abstract We study one-dimensional stochastic integral equations with non-smooth dispersion coe ̈fficients, and with drift components that are not restricted to be absolutely continuous with…

Abstract We study the distribution of the time to explosion for one-dimensional diffusions. We relate this question to the computation of expectations of suitable nonnegative…
