Decoupling or delusion? Measuring emissions displacement in foreign trade
(2018)Global Environmental ChangeIn a world where climate goals are global but action remains firmly in the hands of states, reliable methods are needed to ensure that emissions reductions on a national level are not offset by carbon leakage. Appropriate indicators are needed to help policy makers set accurate targets for the carbon balance of their foreign trade and monitor the development of trade in a meaningful way. This paper proposes a new displacement indicator – ...Journal Article -

BRI1 controls vascular cell fate in the Arabidopsis root through RLP44 and phytosulfokine signaling
(2018)Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of AmericaMulticellularity arose independently in plants and animals, but invariably requires a robust determination and maintenance of cell fate that is adaptive to the environment. This is exemplified by the highly specialized water- and nutrient-conducting cells of the plant vasculature, the organization of which is already prepatterned close to the stem-cell niche, but can be modified according to extrinsic cues. Here, we show that the hormone ...Journal Article -
Formation and structure of insoluble particles in reconstituted model infant formula powders
(2018)International Dairy JournalPhase separation of insoluble particles, so called “white flecks”, is a physical defect in reconstituted milk obtained from spray-dried, fat-containing dairy powders. Compared with bulk powder particles, white flecks have quite different chemical and morphological characteristics. They consist mainly of proteins and fat, forming a dense network. Here, two concurrent formation mechanisms are suggested based on the structures revealed by ...Journal Article -

Finite-Size Effects of Binary Mutual Diffusion Coefficients from Molecular Dynamics
(2018)Journal of Chemical Theory and ComputationMolecular dynamics simulations were performed for the prediction of the finite-size effects of Maxwell-Stefan diffusion coefficients of molecular mixtures and a wide variety of binary Lennard–Jones systems. A strong dependency of computed diffusivities on the system size was observed. Computed diffusivities were found to increase with the number of molecules. We propose a correction for the extrapolation of Maxwell–Stefan diffusion ...Journal Article -
Reformulating the Split-Spectrum Method to Facilitate the Estimation and Compensation of the Ionospheric Phase in SAR Interferograms
(2018)Procedia Computer Science ~ CENTERIS 2018 - International Conference on ENTERprise Information Systems / ProjMAN 2018 - International Conference on Project MANagement / HCist 2018 - International Conference on Health and Social Care Information Systems and Technologies, CENTERIS/ProjMAN/HCist 2018Spatial and temporal variation of the free electron concentration in the ionosphere affects SAR interferograms, in particular at low radar frequencies. The split-spectrum method permits separating the ionospheric and the non-dispersive phase terms using spectral sub-band images. In this work a reformulation of the split-spectrum method facilitates the necessary processing steps. Reformulating the split-spectrum method permits determining ...Journal Article -
Guilty speculators? Range-based conditional volatility in a cross-section of wheat futures
(2018)Journal of Commodity MarketsIn response to the unusually high levels of price volatility during the world food price crisis of 2007/2008, US and EU regulators have introduced position limits that aim to protect commodity markets from exposure to excess speculation. Such regulatory initiatives presuppose that excess speculation is indeed responsible for excess volatility. Our results debunk this presupposition and show the opposite effect: speculative activity reduces ...Journal Article
