Advanced Science, EarlyView.A rotational energy harvesting device that successfully reconciles high power density with mechanical durability through a hybrid sliding‐and‐bouncing kinematic mechanism is reported. The success reported in our paper includes addressing a dilemma where enhanced electrical output comes at the cost of increased friction and wear, limiting the practical ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Inspired by Nitrite reductase, a metal–organic framework overlayer is introduced to regulate the interfacial hydration microenvironment on Cu electrodes, enriching hydrated K+ species that act as efficient proton donors. This strategy enables nitrate‐to‐ammonia conversion with near‐unity selectivity at industrial‐level current densities in neutral ...

Fiscal decentralization and regional disparity: Evidence from cross-section and panel data [PDF]
The advantages and disadvantages of public sector decentralization are widely discussed in economics and political science. Some authors argue that decentralization leads to an optimal provision of public services and promotes economic growth, while ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Herein, we propose a solar‐powered heavy metal trap (SPHT) for sludge disposal. The indoor experiments demonstrated that the sludge water content decreased from 90 % to 31 %, coupled with a decrease in heavy metal content to 6 % at most. Furthermore, the designed SPHT generated an initial potential of 0.10 V, and monitoring this hydrovoltaic potential ...

Global patterns and drivers of protected area system decentralization: A cross-national analysis
Environmental and Sustainability IndicatorsThis study presents the first global analysis of decentralization patterns in national protected area systems (NPAS) across 118 countries. Using a hurdle regression model, we examine how country characteristics influence both the adoption and extent of ...

Wage Dispersion and Decentralization of Wage Bargaining [PDF]
This paper studies how decentralization of wage bargaining from sector to firm-level influences wage levels and wage dispersion. We use detailed panel data covering a period of decentralization in the Danish labor market.

Developing Micro/Nanostructured Fluidic Mixing Technology for Biomedical Applications
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This review critically evaluates how micro/nanostructured mixing technologies are redefining biomedical research. By synergizing fundamental analysis, numerical modeling, structural design, and external field manipulation, these systems attain unprecedented control over mass transport.

Descentralizarea ca experiment legislativ (Decentralisation as a legislative experiment) [PDF]
Polis: Revista de Stiinte Politice, 2014 The intellectual prestige of „decentralization” comes, mainly, from the works of Tocqueville, who conceives a sort of definition of decentralization by indicating it’s effects in USA.

A Portable and Dual‐Button Microneedle Device Enables Intelligent Multimodal Laser Sensing
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A portable and dual‐button microneedle device enables rapid interstitial fluid sampling. Coupled with multimodal laser sensing and AI‐assisted data processing, the platform enables simultaneous molecular and elemental analysis for minimally invasive and multiplexed health assessment toward point‐of‐care diagnostics.
