The Search for Irishness (Chapter One of Buffoonery in Irish Drama: Staging Twentieth-Century Post-Colonial Stereotypes)

open access: yes, 2009
Excerpt: A striking feature in Irish culture since at least the late 19th century is an impulse to define what constitutes Irish, seemingly to establish the qualifications of those who claim to be Irish.

Neuromechanical adaptations to EMG-guided SSC training in elite badminton players: a predictive multivariate approach

open access: yesFrontiers in Sports and Active Living
BackgroundThe stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) is essential for explosive lower-limb actions in court-based sports like badminton. Traditional jump assessments may miss subtle neuromechanical changes. Recent developments in real-time electromyography (EMG)

From Single Atoms to Nanoparticles: Pathways Toward Efficient and Durable Pt/TiO2 Photocatalysts

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Platinum single atoms on TiO2 nanosheets evolve into clusters and nanoparticles under ethanol photoreforming and thermal treatments. By controlling deposition and post‐treatments, particle size and location on specific facets are modulated. The study reveals how stability pathways determine efficiency, guiding the design of more durable photocatalysts.

Meta‐Rod Mechanical Metamaterials With Programmable Reconfiguration

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Existing mechanical metamaterials achieve programmable large deformations in planar square or cubic configurations, restricted by required complex boundary conditions. This research proposes a 1D metamaterial, Meta‐rod, with linear, bending, twisting, area, and volume deformation modes.

Covalent Organic Frameworks for Photocatalytic CO2 Reduction: Metal Integration Principles, Strategies and Functions

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with metals have been recognized as versatile platforms for photocatalytic CO2 reduction (CO2PRR). Herein, an overview of metal integration strategies for COFs is systematically summarized. Regulatory mechanisms and structure–activity relationships between metal integration and COF‐based CO2PRR are emphasized.

From Clinic to Computation: Multiscale Bioengineering Strategies for Durable Biological Aortic Valve Replacements

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bioprosthetic aortic valves have revolutionized the treatment of aortic stenosis, but their durability is limited by structural valve deterioration (SVD). This review focuses on the pericardial tissue at the heart of these valves, examining how its mechanical properties and calcification drive fatigue and failure.

A note on the Monte Carlo assessment of Impulse Saturation with fat tailed distribution [PDF]

open access: yes
Monte Carlo evidence is provided as to the efficiency of the impulse saturation estimator in a location-scale model with heavy-tailed distributions. Comparisons show that the IS estimator is always more efficient than the OLS and can even outperform the ...

LL‐37 Driven Phase Transition and Stacking in Oligolamellar Gram‐Negative Bacterial Membrane Models

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work establishes oligolamellar bacterial membrane models to investigate how LL‐37 disrupts the complex dual‐bilayer architecture of Gram‐negative bacteria. Combining SAXS, cryo‐TEM, electrophoretic mobility measurements, and coarse‐grained simulations, it reveals cardiolipin‐driven phase transitions leading to bicelle‐like structures and membrane ...
