Engineering Spatially Localized Bioactive Microenvironments in Assembly Implants for Spatially Extended Bone Ingrowth

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An assembly porous titanium/β‐TCP implant is developed to establish a spatially programmable osteogenic microenvironment for enhanced osseointegration. By decoupling mechanical support from bioactive ion release, localized ionic gradients generated from the β‐TCP module direct osteogenic activity and bone ingrowth toward the porous titanium framework ...

Central Banks and Payment Instruments: a Serious Case of Schizophrenia [PDF]

This article analyses the competition between cash and payment cards against the backdrop of the dual role of central banks - as issuers of cash and as institutions with a mandate to foster the efficiency of payment systems in general.

Low‐Power Control Of Resistance Switching Transitions in First‐Order Memristors

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Joule losses are a serious concern in modern integrated circuit design. In this regard, minimizing the energy necessary for programming memristors should be handled with care. This manuscript presents an optimal control framework, allowing to derive energy‐efficient programming voltage protocols for resistance switching devices. Following this approach,

Effects of Doping, Disorder, and Compensation on Electron Conduction in Si‐Doped k‐Ga2O3 Close to the Metal‐to‐Insulator Transition

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Self‐compensation effects attributed to doping‐dependent shift‐defects at APBs Validation of Hall data for VRH transport near the MIT Persistence of VRH transport for any SiH4 flow in Si‐doped κ‐Ga2O3 due to high compensation coupling transport and EPR data as strategy to study electronic properties and doping T‐dependence of transport data agrees with

Price Incentives and Consumer Payment Behaviour [PDF]

In this paper we estimate the effect of particular price incentives on consumer payment patterns using transaction-level data. We find that participation in a loyalty program and access to an interest-free period, both of which lower the price of credit ...

Atomic Scale Control of Thermal Conductivity in LaMnO3/SrMnO3 Superlattices

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Interface‐dominated cross‐plane thermal transport in [(LaMnO3)m/(SrMnO3)n]10 superlattices can be controlled by the octahedral rotation/tilt angle φOOR of the MnO6 octahedra, which as well is controlled by the “m/n” ratio. ABSTRACT We report atomic scale structure and phonon thermal transport in (LaMnO3)m/(SrMnO3)n/SrTiO3(100) superlattices (LMO/SMO ...
