Hayek's Theory of Cultural Evolution Revisited: Rules, Morality, and the Sensory Order [PDF]

open access: yes
One of the most controversial parts of F. A. Hayek's work is his theory of cultural evolution. By starting with current discussions on biological and cultural selection theories we bring individual, kin and group selection aspects together and shed some ...

Orientation Engineering of MXene Flakes

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Orientation engineering of MXene flakes refers to the transformation of disordered MXene flakes into ordered architectures with optimized multiphysical transport properties. Focusing on this topic, this review outlines key principles, characterization, fabrication strategies, and advanced applications of oriented MXene structures.

Bistable Wetting States on a Smooth Surface

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Droplets on non‐textured surfaces typically exhibit a monostable wetting state. Here, we show that droplets can exhibit bistability even without surface texture. We investigate water droplets on a smooth substrate immersed in oil. We find that molecular modulation causes the droplet states to bifurcate into either a sticking or a repellent state ...

Hierarchical social modularity in gorillas

open access: yes, 2019
Modern human societies show hierarchical social modularity (HSM) in which lower-order social units like nuclear families are nested inside increasingly larger units.

Hope amidst crisis: exploring perinatal mental health and family dynamics in out-of-home care through virtual assessments during the UK COVID-19 response

open access: yesFrontiers in Global Women's Health
Caring for a young child exposed to early trauma, along with caregiving stress and heightened by the impact of lockdowns as a result of the COVID-19 response, may compromise the development of the parent-child relationship. Understanding a foster carer's

Architecture of an All‐In‐One Microfluidic Platform for Accelerated Cancer Seeding, Enhanced Spheroid Formation, and Dynamic Drug Screening Trials

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
An all‐in‐one microfluidic platform consists of two‐layered PDMS channels integrated with a hydrogel microwell array. This platform enables flow‐driven tumor cell capture, enhanced spheroid formation within the microwells, and advective drug testing. ABSTRACT Effective cancer drug screening requires platforms that replicate the physiological complexity

The formal demography of kinship VII: Lifetime kin overlap within and across generations [PDF]

open access: yesDemographic Research
BACKGROUND: Interactions among kin have important consequences, including resource transfers, allo-parenting, health care, and economic support. Some interactions require that the lives of the interacting relatives overlap.

Hydrogel‐Based Functional Materials: Classifications, Properties, and Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Conductive hydrogels have emerged as promising materials for smart wearable devices due to their outstanding flexibility, multifunctionality, and biocompatibility. This review systematically summarizes recent progress in their design strategies, focusing on monomer systems and conductive components, and highlights key multifunctional properties such as

Extended Inclusive Fitness Theory bridges Economics and Biology through a common understanding of Social Synergy

open access: yes, 2015
Inclusive Fitness Theory (IFT) was proposed half a century ago by W.D. Hamilton to explain the emergence and maintenance of cooperation between individuals that allows the existence of society. Contemporary evolutionary ecology identified several factors
