During late gestation and early postnatal development a combination of intrinsic and extrinsic factors drive the maturation of the human cortex. This process is regionally heterogeneous, with cortical areas developing at different paces and trajectories. [...]

Humanity is progressing towards automated product development, a trend that promises faster creation of better products and thus the acceleration of technological progress. However, increasing reliance on non-human agents for this process introduces many risks. [...]

The limited intra-hour variability of globally available hourly renewable energy system data leads to inaccuracies in the modeling of renewable energy systems. This work, therefore, presents a methodology to increase the temporal resolution of the global horizontal irradiance from one hour to one minute using non-dimensional irradiance and parameters matching for arbitrary locations. [...]

In this study, a 148-day composting of vegetable waste, horse manure and wheat straw wasconducted to investigate the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and nitrogen (N) dynamics asinfluenced by the addition of biochar (bc). A special research focus has been placed on theretention of the N-forms by the bc. [...]
