Ti6Al4V‐Bioglass‐Copper Composites for Load‐Bearing Implants

open access: yesAdvanced 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.

Hydrogel Thermostat Inspired by Photoprotective Foliage Using Latent and Radiative Heat Control

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Guided by Populus alba foliage, this hydrogel latent‐radiative thermostat (LRT) actively balances latent and radiative heat fluxes. An LRT switches solar reflectance, maintains high mid‐IR emissivity, and reversibly evaporates/regenerates water, while titanium oxide (TiO2) nanoparticles toughen the film.

Detection and Prediction of Internal Damage in the Ancient Timber Structure Based on Optimal Combined Model

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2019
It is currently known that using stress wave and drilling resistance to detect the internal damage in the ancient timber structure is not a highly precise process.

The Role of Internal Third-Party Interveners in Civil Resistance Campaigns: The Case of Israeli-Jewish Anti-Occupation Activists

open access: yesGovernment and Opposition, 2019
When a non-violent resistance campaign does not have leverage to challenge powerful opponents, third-party intervention has been shown to assist. While the role of external third-party interveners – foreign activists – has been documented, less attention

Non‐Functionalized Graphene as an Electrical Sensing Surface for Bacterial Detection

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Pathogenic bacteria detection in food remains a major public health concern, driving the need for rapid, cost‐effective, and portable detection systems. This review focuses on the use of non‐functionalized graphene as an electrical sensing surface for bacterial detection, highlighting their unique properties, sensing mechanism, and current developments.

Religious Support for Civil Resistance Movements: When and How Does It Contribute to Regime Change?

open access: yesSocius, 2021
There is substantial research on the influence of elite defections on civil resistance campaign outcomes. Yet most studies focus on defections among security forces, political leaders, and economic elites.

Deliberation in an Age of (Un)Civil Resistance

open access: yes, 2020
There is currently a global wave of protest movements whose militant tactics cannot be subsumed under the category of nonviolent civil disobedience. There has, concurrently, been a surge of interest among political philosophers in the idea of ‘uncivil ...

The Impossible Mission: Global Justice Movement against Transnational Organized Crime [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This article argues that the best counterattack against globally oriented transnational organized crime (TOC) is by a global response. The contribution of participating states and the creation of a collective identity against TOC are both necessary. This

Reducing Personalization Time and Energy Cost While Walking Outdoors with a Portable Exosuit

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Rapid Real‐World Optimization! An AF‐based human‐in‐the‐loop optimization strategy rapidly personalizes a portable hip extension exosuit for incline walking. Real‐time Bayesian optimization of assistive force significantly reduces metabolic energy—up to 16.2%—while converging in just 3 min 24 s.
