DualGAN: Unsupervised Dual Learning for Image-to-Image Translation

open access: yes, 2017
Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) for cross-domain image-to-image translation have made much progress recently. Depending on the task complexity, thousands to millions of labeled image pairs are needed to train a conditional GAN. However,

Dual‐Mode Electrophoretic Displays Enabled by Quantum Dot‐Decorated PR48:2 Pigment Particles and TiO2 for All‐Weather Visibility, Excellent Bistability, and Enhanced Readability

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This study presents a novel quantum dot electrophoretic display (QDEPD), which combines electro‐controlled reflection and optically‐triggered emission to achieve efficient multi‐modal switching within a single pixel. By incorporating multi‐component nanostructures, the system enhances functional integration and multi‐modal response capabilities.

Gender Mainstreaming in Urban Food Policies: Governance Processes and Policy Designs From Three Spanish Cities

open access: yesEuropean Policy Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper explores the integration of gender mainstreaming in urban food policies (UFPs) through three Spanish case studies: Barcelona, Valencia, and Zaragoza. While UFPs are pivotal for addressing sustainability in urban food systems, attention to gender disparities within them remains insufficient.
