With increasing efficiencies of non-fullerene acceptor-based organic solar cells, thin-film technology is becoming a promising candidate for indoor light harvesting applications. However, the lack of standardized comparison methods makes it difficult to quantify progress and to compare indoor performance. [...]

Large artificial lakes and reservoirs affect the meteorological regime of the shore area and the local climate takes on a number of new features that were previously absent. This work focuses on the weather impact of the Alqueva reservoir, the largest artificial lake in Western Europe. [...]

The development of complex functional materials poses a multi-objective optimization problem in a large multi-dimensional parameter space. Solving it requires reproducible, user-independent laboratory work and intelligent preselection of experiments. [...]

Ionic liquids (IL) and aqueous ionic liquids (aIL) are attractive (co-)solvents for biocatalysis due to their unique properties. On the other hand, the incubation of enzymes in IL or aIL often reduces enzyme activity. [...]

BACKGROUND:Reduced activation of dopamine D1receptor signaling may be implicated in reward functioning as apotential driver of negative symptoms in schizophrenia. Phosphodiesterase 10A (PDE10A), an enzyme that is highlyexpressed in the striatum, modulates both dopamine D2- and D1-dependent signaling.METHODS:We assessed whether augmentation of D1signaling by the PDE10 inhibitor RG7203 enhances imagingand behavioral markers of reward functions in patients with schizophrenia and negative symptoms.
