A Scoping Review of Construction and Demolition Waste Management and the Sustainable Development Goals: Evidence From Brazil

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Construction and demolition waste (CDW) management poses significant challenges but also offers opportunities for advancing sustainable development, especially in rapidly urbanizing countries such as Brazil. This scoping review examines the relationship between CDW management practices in Brazil and the United Nations Sustainable Development ...

From Membrane Composition to Antimicrobial Strategies: Experimental and Computational Approaches to AMP Design and Selectivity

Small, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising candidates for next‐generation antibiotics, acting through mechanisms such as membrane disruption and intracellular targeting. This review examines how variations in bacterial membrane composition critically influence AMP activity.

Formation Mechanism of BN Flakes on MWCNTs

Small, EarlyView.
This work presents a novel heterostructured h‐BN flake‐coating on multi‐wall carbon nanotubes synthesized via CVD. It details structural characterization supported by molecular dynamics simulations. The mechanism of BN flake formation, stress‐induced buckling, and van der Waals heterostructure design is discussed, highlighting applications in thermal ...

Micropatterned Surfaces with Unidirectional Wetting Properties for Liquid Transport

Small Structures, EarlyView.
Micropatterned surfaces that guide droplets in a single direction are gaining attention for their role in liquid transport. This review explores how surface designs enable such behavior, from gravity‐driven flow to stimulus‐responsive movement. It also discusses fabrication techniques, design challenges, and emerging strategies to advance directional ...

Highly Reversible and Safe Zinc‐Metal Anodes Enabled by a Functional and Antibacterial Interfacial Layer

SusMat, EarlyView.
A functional artificial interfacial layer, containing special carbonyl oxygen groups, is spontaneously constructed in situ on Zn anode by an etching method with malic acid and achieves the long‐term stability of aqueous ZIBs. The carbonyl oxygen with high nucleophilicity and strong zincophilicity can inhibit the side reactions, while enhancing ion ...

The Impact of Environmental Pollution and Climate Change on Allergic Rhinitis and Lung Diseases

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental pollution and climate change seriously affect human health, leading to the onset and exacerbation of chronic respiratory diseases, such as allergic rhinitis and lung diseases. Over the past several decades, increasing air pollution and environmental exposure owing to global urbanization, industrialization, and rapid economic ...

Does a decision support tool designed to depict West Nile virus risk explain variation in ruffed grouse Bonasa umbellus use of managed forests?

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Infectious diseases are commonly cited as significant contributors to wildlife population declines. It is, therefore, important to investigate the extent to which tools designed to mitigate the effects of infectious diseases explain wildlife responses to habitat management.

Pre-Islamic Symbols in Pictorial Carpets of Iranian Kings:Persian carpet/Iranian carpet [PDF]

, 2023
Introduction: Many Iranian carpets with motifs of pre-Islamic mythological kings are available in museums, almost all of which have the same structure. These kings are depicted with their ancient names and with metaphysical beings, which have three levels. First, the position of the king and Farrah Kiani, second, Goblin/Divan place, and third, soldiers'

Nonhomogeneous distributions and optimal quantizers for Sierpi\'nski carpets

, 2016
The purpose of quantization of a probability distribution is to estimate the probability by a discrete probability with finite support. In this paper, a nonhomogeneous probability measure $P$ on $\mathbb R^2$ which has support the Sierpi\'nski carpet ...
