Bioinspired Polypeptide Dendrimer‐Modified Thin‐Film Composite Membranes for Selective Lithium‐Magnesium Separation with DFT Insights

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We fabricated a biomimetic dendrimer‐modified thin‐film nanocomposite membrane with a coordination‐assisted ion‐selective interface. pH‐responsive polypeptide sites preferentially bind Mg2+ and promote Li+ permeation, as predicted by density functional theory calculations of metal‐ligand interactions.

From Clinic to Computation: Multiscale Bioengineering Strategies for Durable Biological Aortic Valve Replacements

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bioprosthetic aortic valves have revolutionized the treatment of aortic stenosis, but their durability is limited by structural valve deterioration (SVD). This review focuses on the pericardial tissue at the heart of these valves, examining how its mechanical properties and calcification drive fatigue and failure.

Forms of Children’s Participation in Polish Non-contentious Civil Proceedings [PDF]

Societas et Iurisprudentia
In the legal literature, involvement is often equated with a children’s participation in non-contentious civil proceedings. The basic research thesis of the paper is that the participation of children in the Polish non-contentious civil proceedings does ...

Wither participatory banking?: experiences with village banks in South Africa [PDF]

, 2009
Microfinance is widely advocated as a powerful tool to reduce poverty and improve social inclusion. How best to achieve these outcomes has been the focus of considerable debate, between supporters of minimalist finance-only and services-plus approaches ...

Ti6Al4V‐Bioglass‐Copper Composites for Load‐Bearing Implants

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
We have designed and manufactured a novel Ti64‐based composite by adding 45S5 bioglass (BG) and copper (Cu). Adding BG on titanium improves wear resistance and biocompatibility, whereas Cu addition improves mechanical strength while providing inherent lifelong bacterial resistance.

Civil society participation in EU governance [PDF]

Living Reviews in European Governance, 2012
For the longest time, the participation of civil society has not been an area of interest for neither EU researchers nor political decision-makers. This changed with a rising interest in the democratic credentials of the European Union. With the end of the initial permissive consensus on EU integration, civil society emerged as a possible remedy to ...

In the balance? Civil society and the peace process 2002-2008 [PDF]

, 2010
As Sri Lanka slid back towards open hostilities in 2006, existing patterns of civil society engagement in peace negotiations came under widespread criticism on the grounds that they had failed to broaden participation and that they had largely excluded ...

Bulk and Surface Dual‐Modification for Stabilizing RuO2 Anode in 2 A cm−2 PEMWE Operation

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The high‐current‐density stability of the RuO2‐based anode in PEMWE could be taken care of by a bulk and surface dual modification strategy developed in this work, where Cr doping modulates the Ru valence state in the bulk phase, suppressing Ru overoxidation, whereas Si modification stabilizes the reaction interface by inhibiting catalyst ...

Suppressing Metal–Molecule Charge Transfer With a Phosphorus Interlayer

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Phosphorus forms stable reconstructions with remarkable properties on various metal substrates. Here, using a spectroscopic approach, its role as an effective buffer layer on Cu(110) is demonstrated, preventing charge transfer to adsorbed Zn‐tetraphenylporphyrins (ZnTPP).
