DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2017.08.027
Abstract: Desert biological soil crusts (BSC), among the harshest environments on Earth, are formed by the adhesion of soil particles to polysaccharides excreted mainly by filamentous cyanobacteria (see [1] and references therein). These species are the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.gloplacha.2018.07.001
Abstract: Abstract Widespread evaporites were deposited in large parts of the Central Paratethys during the so-called Badenian Salinity Crisis (BSC). The adverse environmental conditions that accompanied the BSC triggered a demise in the basin's marine fauna,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.1c06343
Abstract: In this research, we designed and fabricated an optofluidic chip for the detection and differentiation of single particles via the combination of backscattered (BSC) and forward-scattered (FSC) or side-scattered (SSC) light intensity. The high sensitivity… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-025-87725-x
Abstract: This paper investigates the application of Neural Network Backstepping Control (NN-BSC) for enhancing the rotational speed control of Oscillating Water Column (OWC) wave energy systems. Traditional control methods face limitations when dealing with nonlinearities, irregular… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/01431161.2023.2198653
Abstract: ABSTRACT As thick crustal layers form on dryland surfaces, they affect the spectral information that is originally dominated by sand or rock. The spectral characteristics of organic matter replace the mineral elements as prominent features.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/nsr/nwz220
Abstract: Abstract The biological species concept (BSC) is the cornerstone of neo-Darwinian thinking. In BSC, species do not exchange genes either during or after speciation. However, as gene flow during speciation is increasingly being reported in… read more here.

Rethinking balanced scorecard (BSC) measures: formative versus reflective measurement models
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "International Journal of Productivity and Performance Management"
DOI: 10.1108/ijppm-08-2015-0109
Abstract: Purpose Most empirical balanced scorecard (BSC) studies have shown a tendency to wrongly employ reflective indicators instead of the more theoretically suitable formative indicators. However, formative indicators are difficult to apply due to the lack… read more here.

Abstract: Background Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) and the rarer MDS/MPN overlap syndromes share biological features, poor prognosis (median survival 60%) CMML. Most were higher-risk by CPSS-Mol/IPSS-R; 73% had proliferative disease mandating cytoreduction. Arms were well balanced… read more here.
