Detecting deterrence from patrol data

Conservation Biology, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 665-675, June 2019., 2019
Abstract The threat posed to protected areas by the illegal killing of wildlife is countered principally by ranger patrols that aim to detect and deter potential offenders. Deterring poaching is a fundamental conservation objective, but its achievement is difficult to identify, especially when the prime source of information comes in the form of the ...

White‐Light Flexible Crystal With 180° Folding Induced by Halogen‐Bond Network in Organic‐Inorganic Hybrid Perovskite

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Organic‐inorganic hybrid perovskites (OIHPs) with white‐light emission have significant potential in solid‐state lighting and display due to the designable structure and excellent luminescent properties. However, OIHPs are prone to damage during bending due to the brittleness of crystals, which limits their application in the field of flexible

NIR‐Responsive Nano‐Integrated Magnesium Phosphate Cement Promotes Bone Regeneration via Osteoblast‐Exosome‐Osteoclast Crosstalk

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The limited osteogenic capacity of magnesium phosphate cement (MPC) has constrained its biomedical applications, underscoring the necessity to develop MPC with enhanced physical properties and bone‐forming capabilities. In this study, a multifunctional MPC system was developed by incorporating zoledronic acid‐loaded near‐infrared (NIR ...

Surface‐Embedded Ag@Multilayer Graphene for Photothermal‐Enhanced Superhydrophobic Anti‐Icing Coatings

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Harnessing solar energy for self‐heating presents an effective strategy to suppress surface ice formation. In this paper, we fabricated nano‐silver‐modified multilayer graphene sheets (Ag@MGs) that integrate photothermal and superhydrophobic properties for anti‐icing applications.

Injectable Biomimetic Composite Hydrogel Scaffold With Tissue‐Engineered Cartilage Matrix for Articular Cartilage Regeneration

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Articular cartilage regeneration remains a significant challenge because of its limited intrinsic healing capacity and the inadequacy of conventional treatments for restoring structural and functional integrity. In this study, a novel injectable composite hydrogel scaffold was designed to mimic the extracellular matrix (ECM) of native ...

Unpacking the Antecedents of Boredom and Its Impact on University Learners’ Engagement in Languages Other Than English: A Qualitative Study in the Distance Online Learning Context

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 1121-1133, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Although psychological factors such as emotion and engagement have gained increasing attention for their role in language learning success, a substantial gap remains in understanding the sources of boredom and its impact on learners’ engagement, whether behavioural, affective or cognitive, in languages other than English (LOTE).

Research of Ge Junction Technology and Ge Lateral PIN Photodetector [PDF]

, 2015
锗材料因其具有比硅材料更高的载流子迁移率，在通信波段具有高的吸收系数，以及与主流硅工艺相兼容等优点，成为下一代高性能集成电路半导体MOSFET器件沟道的首选替代材料。经过十余年研发，当前Gep-MOSFET的性能已经取得实质性的进展，但相应Gen-MOSFET性能仍未取得突破，除了高k介质与Ge接触产生大量界面态外，还有以下两个原因：首先金属/n-Ge结界面强烈的费米能级钉扎效应和较高的接触势垒引入较大的器件串联电阻；其次Ge中n型杂质扩散严重，激活浓度低，不利于形成n+p浅结。因此，调制金属 ...
