The Alethic Status of Contradictions in Fictional Discourse [PDF]

Organon F
Whether contradictions could be “true in fiction” has become an unavoidable topic in the debates on the bounds of fictionality. This paper claims that genuine contradictions in fiction are far more infrequent phenomena than is usually claimed.

Covalent Organic Frameworks for Photocatalytic CO2 Reduction: Metal Integration Principles, Strategies and Functions

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with metals have been recognized as versatile platforms for photocatalytic CO2 reduction (CO2PRR). Herein, an overview of metal integration strategies for COFs is systematically summarized. Regulatory mechanisms and structure–activity relationships between metal integration and COF‐based CO2PRR are emphasized.

Transesophageal echocardiography related complications

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) is an important imaging method for the evaluation of cardiac structure and function, and it holds significant value in the clinical management of cardiovascular diseases. Unlike transthoracic echocardiography (TTE),

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.

Relational Structure of Measurement with Application on Specification of Freeform Surface [PDF]

, 2013
A contradiction is shown in this paper that, for contact surface measurement, if a measured surface profile is exactly coincident with the USL (upper specification limit), the measured result may still be out of specification.

Kinematic Self-Similar Cylindrically Symmetric Solutions

, 2005
This paper is devoted to find out cylindrically symmetric kinematic self-similar perfect fluid and dust solutions. We study the cylindrically symmetric solutions which admit kinematic self-similar vectors of second, zeroth and infinite kinds, not only ...

Spin Defects in Hexagonal Boron Nitride as 2D Strain Sensors

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We demonstrate that boron‐vacancy (VB${\rm V}_{\rm B}$) centers in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) enable quantitative strain sensing with sub‐micrometer resolution. Using this approach under continuously tunable in‐plane stress, we precisely quantify strain‐induced shifts of the E2g${\rm E}_{2{\rm g}}$ Raman mode in multilayer hBN, establishing VB${\rm ...

Media and Ambivalence| Media and Ambivalence: The Value of a Quandary—Introduction

International Journal of Communication
Ambivalence is often associated with indecision or ineptitude, capable of paralyzing our ability to make decisions and take sides. For institutions such as the media and academia, which privilege messages that project certainty, ambivalence is a ...
