An Islamic Perspective on the Sustainable Development Goals: Exploring Key Challenges From the Ravi Riverfront Urban Development Project

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Projects are typically viewed as mechanisms for delivering products and services; however, this study examines projects from the distinct perspective of grand challenges (GCs). The selected case is the Ravi Riverfront Urban Development Project in Lahore, Pakistan—a grand challenge project (GCP).

Symbols of Climate Action: Audit Labor and the Production of Carbon Credits

open access: yesEconomic Anthropology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Voluntary carbon markets (VCMs) are promoted as tools for financing climate mitigation, yet their effectiveness and credibility remain contested. This article examines how carbon credits are produced and destabilized as symbols of climate action, emphasizing the forms of ecological and audit labor that sustain their legitimacy.

JWST Spectroscopic View of a Rapidly Growing, Dust-obscured Quasar at z ∼ 4: Effect of Dust Extinction Correction on Black Hole Mass and Eddington Ratio Estimation

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
In the merger-driven galaxy evolution scenario, the central supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in dust-obscured galaxies grow rapidly. Interestingly, a recent work on a dust-obscured galaxy, LID-568 at z = 3.965, has shown that its SMBH is growing ...

A Review on the Development and Key Technologies of Embodied Intelligent Industrial Robots in Smart Manufacturing

open access: yesSmartBot, EarlyView.
Conventional industrial robots rely on predefined workflows and struggle to adapt to changing tasks and uncertain manufacturing environments. This review examines the development and key technologies of embodied intelligent industrial robots (EIIRs), highlighting a closed‐loop architecture that integrates human and industrial inputs, embodied ...

Size matters: Influence of multiple scattering on CALIPSO light-extinction profiling in desert dust

open access: yes, 2010
We investigate the discrepancies in measurements of light extinction and extinction-to-backsatter ratio (lidar ratio) of desert dust with CALIPSO and ground-based lidar systems.

Calibrating Milky Way dust extinction using cosmological sources

open access: yes, 2013
We constrain the light extinction properties of Milky Way dust. We investigated the correlations between dust column density as inferred from infrared data and the observed colours of celestial objects at cosmological distances with ...

Self‐Assembly of Hierarchically Structured Materials From Liquid Crystalline Mesophases of Tobacco Mosaic Virus‐Like Particles

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Recombinantly produced Tobacco Mosaic Virus coat protein (TMVcp) helical rods were demonstrated to reproducibly self‐assemble into hierarchically structured macroscopic filaments, driven by a lyotropic liquid crystal (LC) intermediate phase. The results indicate anisotropic molecular alignment of the fluid phase, retention of the native secondary ...

High‐Throughput FRET Affinity Screening Technique (HTFAST) for Cell‐Free Expressed Binding Protein Characterization

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
High‐Throughput FRET Affinity Screening Technique (HTFAST) for quantitative, purification‐free affinity screening of cell‐free expressed binders. A fluorescent‐protein‐fused binder (donor) is expressed directly in crude E. coli cell‐free lysate and titrated against a dye‐labeled antigen (acceptor).

MEASUREMENTS OF DUST EXTINCTION IN HIGHLY INCLINED SPIRAL GALAXIES

open access: yes, 1994
We study the extinction properties of dust in the well-defined dust lanes of four highly inclined galaxies, using U-, B-, V-, R- and I-band CCD and J- and K'-band near-infrared array images.

Characterizing Dust Extinction and Spatially Resolved Paschen-α Emission within 97 Galaxies at 1 < z < 1.6 with JWST NIRCam Slitless Spectroscopy

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present results on the Paschen- α (Pa α ) emitting galaxies observed as part of the JWST FRESCO survey in the GOODS-North and GOODS-South fields. Utilizing the JWST NIRCam wide field slitless spectroscopy (WFSS), we analyze emission line fluxes, star ...
