Structural Colors from Modulated Topological Defects in Molecular Smectic Liquid Crystals

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Rather than using dyes and pigments, nature produces the colors of some butterflies and beetles through optical interference phenomena. This study describes an original biomimetic strategy exploiting the spontaneous formation of modulated linear defects in thin films of 8CB, a common molecular liquid crystal.

The Application of Metaphor in Philosophical Hermeneutics of Gadamer and Pragmatism of Davidson [PDF]

Journal of Philosophical Investigations
Many theorists have been developing their concepts on metaphor, among which Gadamer and Davidson are two thinkers for whom metaphor plays a key role in their philosophical project—and, interestingly, both disagree with Aristotle’s view which considers ...

Accounting for Substitution: Improving Estimates of GHG Reductions From Cattle‐Based Product Demand Shifts

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Estimates of reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from lower demand for cattle‐based products must account for substitution effects. This study collected data through two surveys—one on ground beef and another on dairy milk—to evaluate substitution effects and potential GHG reductions.

Integrating Citizen Science with Online Biological Collections to Promote Species and Biodiversity Literacy in an Entomology Course

Citizen Science: Theory and Practice, 2021
The integration of citizen science into undergraduate STEM courses improves science practice skills, enables students to contribute to the global collection of species occurrence data, and may increase understanding and appreciation of biodiversity.

Effects of Environmental and Health Information on Willingness to Pay for Local and Organic Foods in Taiwan

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using a lab‐in‐the‐field experiment, we investigate how providing information about food miles and pesticide residue influences willingness to pay (WTP) for potatoes among 407 shoppers in Taiwan, split between a supermarket and a farmers market.

Population balance modeling and digital design of degree of agglomeration in industrial crystallization

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This study presents a coupled population balance model (PBM) for describing the degree‐of‐agglomeration (DoA) in crystallization by independently tracking total particle and agglomerate number densities. Applied to an industrial active pharmaceutical ingredient, the model outperformed bridge‐counting methods and accurately captured DoA trends ...

Intestinal peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor α‐fatty acid‐binding protein 1 axis modulates nonalcoholic steatohepatitis

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Background and Aims Peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor α (PPARα) regulates fatty acid transport and catabolism in liver. However, the role of intestinal PPARα in lipid homeostasis is largely unknown. Here, intestinal PPARα was examined for its modulation of obesity and NASH. Approach and Results Intestinal PPARα was activated and fatty

A low-flying trinitarian theology

Verbum et Ecclesia, 2022
The claim is sometimes made (and also contested) that, following contributions of Karl Barth and Karl Rahner, there has been a renewal of interest in the doctrine of the Trinity among Christian theologians.

Deep reaction network exploration at a heterogeneous catalytic interface

Nature Communications, 2022
This study demonstrates how reaction network characterization can be performed on heterogeneous catalytic surfaces predictively, rather than retrospectively, using automated exploration algorithms on an ethylene oligomerization exemplar reaction.

The anxiolytic effects of resistance exercise

Frontiers in Psychology, 2014
Numerous studies have revealed the beneficial effects of regular exercise across a variety of mental health measures. Although a great deal of attention has been paid to the role of aerobic exercise, less is known about the role of resistance exercise ...
