Ionic Control of Microstructure and Lubrication in Charged, Physically Cross‐Linked Hydrogels

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Here, charged, physically cross‐linked poly(methacrylamide‐co‐methacrylic acid) hydrogels stabilized by a short‐range attractive, long‐range repulsive potential is investigated. This work uncovers how salt addition alters not only swelling, but also the microstructure and dynamics, near‐surface stiffness and charge, and ultimately, its lubricity. Salts

A Peptide Nucleic Acid‐Functionalized Heterojunction Thin Film Transistor as a Scalable and Reusable Platform for Label‐Free Detection of MicroRNA

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A miniaturized, label‐free, and enzyme‐free biosensor (miR‐TFT) enables direct electrical detection of microRNA (miRNA) with single‐nucleotide specificity and a detection limit of 0.6 fM. Built on a tri‐channel In2O3/ZnO heterojunction and functionalized with bespoke peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probes, the device is robust, reusable, and compatible with

Complete Monotonicity of the Representative Consumer's Discount Factor [PDF]

open access: yes
A univariate real-valued function is said to be completely monotone if it takes positive values and alternate the signs of its higher order derivatives, starting from everywhere negative first derivatives.

Modular Equations and Distortion Functions

open access: yes, 2007
Modular equations occur in number theory, but it is less known that such equations also occur in the study of deformation properties of quasiconformal mappings.

Defect‐Mediated Scintillation in Fully Inorganic Perovskites via Water‐Induced 0D/3D Phase Modulation

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A reproducible synthesis to control 3D/0D phase ratios via water‐tuned solvent–antisolvent methods is presented. Enhanced scintillation yield and ultrafast decay are achieved. Defect‐driven emission mechanisms are revealed through cathodoluminescence and radioluminescence, shedding light on the underexplored role of the 0D Cs4PbBr6 and mixed 0D/3D ...

Complete monotonicity and inequalities related to generalized k-gamma and k-polygamma functions

open access: yesJournal of Inequalities and Applications, 2020
In this paper, we prove new complete monotonicity properties of some functions related to generalized k-gamma and k-polygamma functions. Applications of the results yield various new inequalities. In the end, double inequalities are constructed involving

Synchronization of a Kuramoto-like model for power grids with frustration

open access: yesNetworks and Heterogeneous Media, 2020
We discuss the complete synchronization for a Kuramoto-like model for power grids with frustration. For identical oscillators without frustration, it will converge to complete phase and frequency synchronization exponentially fast if the initial phases ...

Functional Materials for Environmental Energy Harvesting in Smart Agriculture via Triboelectric Nanogenerators

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This review explores functional and responsive materials for triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) in sustainable smart agriculture. It examines how particulate contamination and dirt affect charge transfer and efficiency. Environmental challenges and strategies to enhance durability and responsiveness are outlined, including active functional layers ...

Complete monotonicity of multinomial probabilities and its application to Bernstein estimators on the simplex

open access: yes, 2018
Let $d\in \mathbb{N}$ and let $\gamma_i\in [0,\infty)$, $x_i\in (0,1)$ be such that $\sum_{i=1}^{d+1} \gamma_i = M\in (0,\infty)$ and $\sum_{i=1}^{d+1} x_i = 1$.
