From 0D to 3D liquid crystal elastomers architectures: Fabrications and applications

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
This review presents a dimension‐oriented overview of liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs), highlighting their molecular alignment, fabrication strategies, and programmable deformations from 0D particles to 3D architectures. Emphasis is placed on how dimensionality guides design principles, enables diverse actuation modes, and bridges fundamental ...

The Mind-Body Problem [PDF]

, 1999
The mind-body problem is the problem of explaining how our mental states, events and processes—like beliefs, actions and thinking—are related to the physical states, events and processes in our bodies.

Incorporating environmental DNA metabarcoding for improved benthic biodiversity and habitat mapping

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Seafloor imagery is commonly used to collect information about the distribution of benthic organisms in order to generate habitat and biodiversity maps. Recent advances in genomics (e.g., environmental DNA; eDNA) show potential to complement video surveys for habitat mapping, but there have been few examples testing this.

Resistance through Transformation? The Meanings of Gender Reversals in a Taiwanese Buddhist Monastery [PDF]

, 2011
This chapter demonstrates that Taiwanese Buddhist nuns resist the limitations of traditional Han gender ideologies by drawing on opportunities offered within those traditional gender constructions—opportunities that allow them to define themselves in ...

Accounting for animal movement during aerial imaging surveys

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Animals are not stationary during aerial surveys; if their movements are related to the movement of the aerial platform, then bias can be introduced into subsequent population count estimates. We sought to establish a framework for assessing the impacts of animal movement on count error and platform bias by comparing aggregated counts and relative ...

Swing-out rail system separates overhead crane rails [PDF]

, 1966
Swing-out rail system separates and reconnects the overhead traveling crane rails of a building to provide for the passage of a thick concrete radiation shield sliding door through the rails. In the swing-out position, the rail cantilevered from an axial

From Green Strategy to Sustainable Development: Corporate Efforts Toward SDG 12 and SDG 13

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Firms are increasingly integrating United Nations Development Goals 12 (Responsible consumption and production) and 13 (Climate action) as a part of their sustainability strategies. However, prior research has rarely examined how these SDGs interact as a unified capability rather than as isolated practices.

Difference in Characteristics of Patients Undergoing Revision MPFL Reconstruction and Those Undergoing Primary MPFL Reconstruction

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine
Background: In recurrent patellar instability, medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFLR), with or without concomitant bony procedures, has become the treatment of choice to stabilize the patellofemoral joint.

Construction of meta-dynamic recrystallization dynamic model of 316L stainless steel based on grain orientation spread during continuous variable rate thermal deformation

Journal of Materials Research and Technology
Because the deformation parameters (temperature, strain rate) in the actual manufacturing process are non-constant. We investigate meta-dynamic recrystallization behavior under the transient mutation state.

Understanding Interactions Between Sustainable Development Goals Within and Between Policy Programmes: The Case of Kenya's Dairy Sector

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Achieving Agenda 2030 depends on addressing interactions between the sustainable development goals (SDGs). In this paper, we conceptualize SDG interactions as synergies or trade‐offs, incoming or outgoing, and internal or external, and analyze how SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) interacts with other SDGs within and across policy programmes that support ...
