Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors are a promising solution for the miniaturization of electronic devices and for the exploration of novel physics. However, practical applications and demonstrations of physical phenomena are hindered by high Schottky barriers at the contacts to 2D semiconductors. While the process of image-force barrier lowering (IFBL) can considerably decrease the Schottky barrier, IFBL is not fully understood for the majority ...

Retinal gene delivery via intravitreal injection is hampered by various physiological barriers present in the eye of which the vitreoretinal (VR) interface represents the most serious hurdle. In this study, we present a retinal explant model especially designed to study the role of this interface as a barrier for the penetration of vectors into the retina. In contrast to all existing explant models, the developed model is bovine-derived and more ...

Simple Summary Ensuring the welfare of donkeys in low-middle income countries (LMICs) requires a collective approach involving donkey owners, farriers, veterinarians and researchers. Faisalabad is an industrial city in the Punjab province of Pakistan, where donkeys are used for goods transportation. Working donkeys require regular farriery to avoid hoof and limb problems, including lameness. The perception of owners regarding the farriery needs ...

This report had been written but not finished in 2013 while executing the simulation study in the framework of the accessibility study of car carriers of Wallenius to the port of Zeebrugge. Two simulation models for a 227 m Car Carrier and a 200 m Car and Truck Carrier had been developed but finally only the 227 m Car Carrier was evaluated as being realistic. In this report the available data and the procedure for the scaling of the simulation ...
