A Multifunctional Bioactive Nanoscale Coating Deposited by Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Polymerization of Peppermint Essential Oil

Small, EarlyView.
Atmospheric plasma polymerization transforms peppermint essential oil into ultrathin, substrate‐independent bioactive coatings with antioxidant, contact‐active antibacterial, and immunomodulatory functions. The coating disrupts Gram‐negative pathogens, potentiates prophylactic antibiotics, suppresses pro‐inflammatory signaling, and promotes M2 ...

Systematic Learning and Pedagogy Through a Modular, Progressive‐Based Simulation Modeling Framework for Complex Systems

Systems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Smart Transportation Systems (SmTS) will exceed complex systems with their classification as complex, sociotechnical, and AI‐based systems. Possessing a toolkit that helps systemically understand, analyze, and assess these systems will be advantageous in the early stages of the systems engineering (SE) lifecycle, and Agent Based Models (ABMs ...

Research on a Drone‐Based Vacant Parking Detection System

IEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering, EarlyView.
It can be difficult to know which spaces are available in parking lots and bicycle parking areas, so knowing the availability status is necessary for efficient parking. Therefore, in this study, we developed the drone that can display the availability status. Availability is determined by whether it can read a QR code attached to the ground. To conduct

Dielectric Response of Large Band Gap Cyclic Olefines With Symmetric and Asymmetric Pendant Polar Groups

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dielectric response of two typical polyoxafluoronorbornene with asymmetric and symmetric pendant polar groups is investigated to better understand the impact of the polymer structure on dielectric properties. Based on the Dissado–Hill modelling of broadband dielectric response, the contribution of the bicyclic backbone and fluorinated ...

Circular Economy Capabilities for Slowing Resource Loops at Small Businesses in China, Finland and Japan – An Institutional Logics Perspective

British Journal of Management, EarlyView.
Abstract Existing circular economy (CE) research has primarily explored capabilities for the principle of closing resource loops (recycle and recover) in limited institutional contexts. However, little is known about the capabilities for the principle of slowing resource loops (reduce and reuse), despite its alignment towards achieving net zero ...

BaYaka forager and Bantu fisher‐farmer adolescent engagement with intensifying market integration in the Republic of the Congo Participation des adolescents BaYaka chasseurs‐cueilleurs et Bantous pêcheurs‐agriculteurs à l'intégration croissante au marché en République du Congo

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
A substantial body of anthropological research has investigated how subsistence communities engage with market‐based economies. In this study, we contribute to this body of work by examining adolescent orientations towards intensifying market integration in the Congo Basin.

STREETS AS STAGES: Traffic Enforcement and the Competition for Cultural Growth in China

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In keeping with China’s desire to build soft power to parallel its economic growth, the policing of city streets has moved to the forefront as a mechanism for moral regulation and improving urban prestige. Under pressure to civilize their citizenry, many Chinese cities have become entrepreneurial cities within a type of cultural growth ...
