Majorana fermions in a box
( American Physical Society , 2017 , Article)Motivated by potential applications to ultracold matter, we perform a theoretical study of Majorana fermions confined to a finite volume, whose boundary conditions are characterized by self-adjoint extension parameters. ... -
A MALDI-TOF study of bio-remediation in highly weathered oil contaminated soils
( Elsevier , 2018 , Article)We have shown that Bacillus cereus is dominating the bacterial population at three polluted oil-industry sites where weather and soil conditions are extreme in terms of temperature, UV-radiation and salinity. A minor ... -
Man-made impact on the geochemistry of the Nile delta lakes. A study of metals concentrations in sediments
( Kluwer Academic Publishers , 2004 , Article)Forty two sediment samples were collected from four River Nile northern delta lakes (Mariut, Edku, Burullus and Manzalah) to asses the man-made impact on their environment during the last 20 years. Due to the continuous ... -
