TL;DR: The PREDICTS project as discussed by the authors provides a large, reasonably representative database of comparable samples of biodiversity from multiple sites that differ in the nature or intensity of human impacts relating to land use.
Abstract: The PREDICTS project—Projecting Responses of Ecological Diversity In Changing Terrestrial Systems (www.predicts.org.uk)—has collated from published studies a large, reasonably representative database of comparable samples of biodiversity from multiple sites that differ in the nature or intensity of human impacts relating to land use. We have used this evidence base to develop global and regional statistical models of how local biodiversity responds to these measures. We describe and make freely available this 2016 release of the database, containing more than 3.2 million records sampled at over 26,000 locations and representing over 47,000 species. We outline how the database can help in answering a range of questions in ecology and conservation biology. To our knowledge, this is the largest and most geographically and taxonomically representative database of spatial comparisons of biodiversity that has been collated to date; it will be useful to researchers and international efforts wishing to model and understand the global status of biodiversity.

TL;DR: In this article, a theoretical analysis of charge transfer in metal catalysts supported on a doped TiO2carrier is presented, which is based on the metal-semiconductor contact theory and has been used to calculate the amount of charge transferred to supported metal crystallites.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the results of an extensive experimental program on different combinations of basalt fibre textiles and inorganic matrices organized by RILEM TC 250-CSM (Composites for the Sustainable strengthening of Masonry) involving ten European laboratories.
Abstract: An increasing interest and application is nowadays found for composite systems in construction and rehabilitation industry. The consensus on fibre reinforced composite systems was mainly based on high tensile strength, light weight, relative ease of installation, and resistance to corrosion. However, some drawbacks related to the epoxy (hence, organic) matrices of Fiber-Reinforced Polymers (FRP) have been solved by inorganic ones yielding to novel fibre reinforced composites. In these materials the composite action is mainly achieved through mechanical interlock between the matrix (e.g. a cement- or a lime-based mortar or a geopolymer with the option of chopped fibres and/or low-content polymer addition) and the mesh-like fibrous structure (a textile) that allows the mortar to protrude through the grid's openings. Aiming at the investigation of the mechanical properties and the development of testing procedures for this new family of materials (termed herein as Fabric-Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM)) the present paper presents the results of an extensive experimental program on different combinations of basalt fibre textiles and inorganic matrices organized by RILEM TC 250-CSM (Composites for the Sustainable strengthening of Masonry) involving ten European laboratories. The tests involve more than 100 specimens: half are tensile tests and the other half are bond tests carried out on prisms made of clay bricks, on three different basalt-based FRCM configurations comprising readily available commercial systems provided by different producers. The scope of this work is aimed not only at presenting a comparative performance assessment of different Basalt FRCM systems, but also at providing meaningful criteria to reliably design and analyse retrofit applications. The relevant round robin test program provides valuable data generated during the experimental activity and statistical analysis thereof; then, based on the various testing approaches employed, the advantages/drawbacks of certain testing factors are summarized and critically assessed, reflecting the experience of involved institutions. It is believed that this represents a crucial step in improving knowledge on innovative retrofit applications and developing standard test methods.

TL;DR: In this paper, the contribution of the Interface Science to the preparation of supported catalysts during the last two decades is presented and illustrated how the concepts and the methodologies of the interface science could be effectively used for an in-depth understanding of the phenomena involved in the initial preparation step.
Abstract: The contribution of the Interface Science to the preparation of supported catalysts during the last two decades is presented. It is illustrated how the concepts and the methodologies of the Interface Science could be effectively used for an in‐depth understanding of the phenomena involved in the initial preparation step. This, extremely critical step, concerns the deposition of transition metal species containing the active elements, from an impregnation solution, onto the surface of common catalytic supports. Moreover, the aforementioned concepts and methodologies allow the regulation of the mode of interfacial deposition and the local structure of the deposited species and, thus, the surface characteristics and the catalytic behaviour of the resulted catalysts.
