Dual‐Mode Electrophoretic Displays Enabled by Quantum Dot‐Decorated PR48:2 Pigment Particles and TiO2 for All‐Weather Visibility, Excellent Bistability, and Enhanced Readability

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This study presents a novel quantum dot electrophoretic display (QDEPD), which combines electro‐controlled reflection and optically‐triggered emission to achieve efficient multi‐modal switching within a single pixel. By incorporating multi‐component nanostructures, the system enhances functional integration and multi‐modal response capabilities.

The diffuser design of ventilated facades

open access: yesMagazine of Civil Engineering, 2013
The main problem in the design of front systems is an empirical choice of parameters and the air gap between the cladding panels, causing appear of unventilated layer. Inadequate ventilation leads to icing of substructure elements that go into the air ventilated gap, and the top layer in winter, reduction of heat-protective properties as a whole.

Gender Mainstreaming in Urban Food Policies: Governance Processes and Policy Designs From Three Spanish Cities

open access: yesEuropean Policy Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper explores the integration of gender mainstreaming in urban food policies (UFPs) through three Spanish case studies: Barcelona, Valencia, and Zaragoza. While UFPs are pivotal for addressing sustainability in urban food systems, attention to gender disparities within them remains insufficient.
