Breaking the Temperature Barrier: Ultra‐Stable SiHfBCN Ceramic Coatings for High‐Temperature Pressure Sensing

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A 3D conductive net including HfC(N) conductive nanodomains and in‐situ carbon ribbons was generated within the amorphous SiHfBCN matrix by a new molecular‐level composition and microstructure design strategy, making a smooth and dense polymer‐derived SiHfBCN ceramic coatings exhibits excellent electrical conductivity, wide‐temperature sensing, cycling

Anthropologist, heal thyself: Toward an anthropology of healing through relational interbeing

Feminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract I call for an anthropology that confronts its own woundedness. Anthropologists often bear witness to suffering but rarely examine how our own grief, trauma, and institutional distress shape the affective tone of our work. Drawing on fieldwork with Runa (Quechua) women affected by forced sterilization in Peru and guided by my collaborator and ...

Forecasting House Prices: The Role of Market Interconnectedness

Journal of Forecasting, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While the existing research uncovers interconnections between various housing markets, it largely ignores the question of whether such linkages can improve house price predictions. To address this issue, we proceed in two steps. First, we forecast disaggregated house price growth rates from Australia and China to determine whether ...

The Non‐Professional Virtues of the Hospice Volunteer

Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Volunteers have long played a significant role in hospice care. Much of the care volunteers provide consists of weekly hour‐long in‐home visits. Home‐visiting hospice volunteers are not professionals, nor are they strangers or intimates. Hospice volunteers will not typically face moral dilemmas, nor be called upon to make dramatic decisions ...

Mastoid Surgery Does Not Normalize Tympanometric Middle Ear Pressure in Children With Cholesteatoma

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Conflicting mechanism‐based hypotheses have been used to promote selection of different approaches to management of the mastoid in order to optimize middle ear pressure homeostasis after removal of cholesteatoma. For example: (a) conservation of mastoid mucosa and opening of ventilation pathways endoscopically to normalize function, (b) removal of ...

An autonomous and economical benthic incubation chamber for measuring dissolved oxygen fluxes in shallow, low‐flow environments

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Benthic incubation chambers enclose a known volume of water overlying a known area to measure water chemistry changes and are typically used to quantify the metabolic activity of benthic organisms or communities. Here we present an economical benthic incubation chamber for shallow, low‐flow environments, built using off‐the‐shelf components ...
