Experiments in Holism: Theory and Practice in Contemporary Anthropology [PDF]
, 2010 Experiments in Holism: Theory and Practice in Contemporary Anthropology presents a series of essays from leading anthropologists that critically reexamine the relevance of holism as a foundational tenet of anthropology, and its theoretical and ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A graphene oxide/collagen scaffold is developed for chronic massive rotator cuff tear repair. The scaffold improves compressive stability, supports reparative mesenchymal differentiation, and modulates the immune microenvironment. In chronic MRCT models, it reduces muscle degeneration, enhances tendon–bone regeneration, and improves functional recovery,

Sustainable Materials Design With Multi‐Modal Artificial Intelligence
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Critical mineral scarcity, high embodied carbon, and persistent pollution from materials processing intensify the need for sustainable materials design. This review frames the problem as multi‐objective optimization under heterogeneous, high‐dimensional evidence and highlights multi‐modal AI as an enabling pathway.

Scientific holism: China meets Wes
, 2012 This paper begins with an attempt to dissolve the issue of whether traditional China had science. It clarifies the issue as a philosophical problem about whether Chinese culture embraces a natural philosophy—a rational and abstract conceptual system that

Duhem, Quine and the other dogma [PDF]
, 2008 By linking meaning and analyticity (through synonymy), Quine rejects both “dogmas of empiricism” together, as “two sides of a single dubious coin.” His rejection of the second (“reductionism”) has been associated with Duhem’s argument against crucial ...

Engineering an Optogenetic pH‐Modulator in Bacteria
Advanced Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cells in many naturally occurring organisms routinely cooperate to control their extracellular pH in a dynamic and reversible manner, but this capability has been underexplored in synthetic biology. Here, we sought to engineer a microbial system that switches between two states —high and low extracellular pH— with minimal human intervention ...

Fleetwood on causal holism: clarification and critique
Fleetwood (2002, Cambridge Journal of Economics, vol. 26, no. 1, 27--45), provided a critical evaluation of causal holism (Boylan and O'Gorman, 1995, Ekonomia, vol. 1, no. 2, 9--21), from the perspective of critical realism. For Fleetwood there are three

Advanced Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Iron overload is a common metabolic disturbance in cancer and contributes to poor outcomes in renal cell carcinoma (RCC), yet its effects on the tumour immune microenvironment remain unclear. Here we identify a previously unrecognized immunosuppressive axis in which iron overload downregulates the palmitoyltransferase ZDHHC12 in CD8+ T cells ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A scalable radiative cooling fabric engineered with a multi‐layer assembly core–shell structure and integrated photoluminescent materials is reported. The fabric exhibits remarkable environmental stability, including UV resistance, mechanical durability, hydrophobicity, stain resistance, thermal stability, and flame retardancy, demonstrating its ...
