Study on the Performance of Upstream Obstacles Under Different Exit Loads
FireObstacles “upstream” of the exit significantly impact evacuation efficiency and deserve attention. Based on the discrete cellular automaton model, this paper studies the impact of different obstacle settings on evacuation efficiency in different ...

Ground‐State Charge‐Transfer Doping in Donor–Acceptor Semiconducting Polymers
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This work demonstrates controlled ground‐state charge‐transfer complex formation (GS‐CTC) and doping in a series of diketopyrrolopyrrole‐based donor–acceptor semiconducting polymers paired with a π‐conjugated penta‐t‐butylpentacyanopentabenzo[25]annulene “cyanostar” macrocycle. Complementary experimental techniques show how subtle molecular, electronic,

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.An Alhagi maurorum inspired hierarchical composite membrane (NFCu) was developed by integrating heavy metal remediation and solar‐driven interfacial evaporation in a single platform. Beyond the photothermal effect, a localized photocatalytic process is realized on the CuO surface, deepening the mechanistic understanding of light–matter–water ...

Multimodal evacuation after subway breakdown: A modeling framework and mode choice behavior
Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives, 2020 Subway is the backbone of the urban transportation system. However, because of its superior and high-capacity performance, it is difficult to evacuate the stranded passengers through other modes when unexpected disruptions happen.

Developing a prototype agent-based pedestrian evacuation model to explore the evacuation of King’s Cross St Pancras underground station [PDF]
, 2006 London’s King’s Cross St. Pancras underground station has been the unfortunate location of two major incidents within the last twenty years. A fire in November 1987 and the terrorist bombing in July 2005 both resulted in the loss of lives, and the injury

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Nitride MXenes remain constrained by a persistent gap between computational prediction and experimental realization. This Review identifies the thermodynamic, kinetic, and chemical barriers limiting their synthesis, critically evaluates emerging fabrication routes, and proposes a multidimensional computational‐experimental framework to accelerate the ...

Bioinspired Hydrogels with Broadly Programmable Mechanics for Soft‐Tissue Interfaces
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Sea cucumber‐inspired gelatin hydrogels are formed by directional freezing and mechanically programmed through subsequent ionic treatment. Multiscale characterization and modeling link ion‐regulated chain interactions to directional load transfer within the aligned hierarchical architecture.
