Integrated Kinetic Fins for Western Facades in Territories with Low Solar Altitudes
Buildings, 2023 Insufficient daylighting can negatively affect working quality and productivity and increase lighting energy consumption in buildings. Particularly, the western orientation has a non-uniform daylighting distribution, especially at the zone next to the ...

Five Decades of Dispute: A Triptych. E. J. Corey
The Chemical Record, EarlyView.In his 2004 Priestley Medal address, E. J. Corey stated, “On May 4, 1964, I suggested to my colleague R. B. Woodward a simple explanation involving the symmetry of the perturbed (HOMO) molecular orbitals for the stereoselective cyclobutene/1,3‐butadiene and 1,3,5‐hexatriene/cyclohexadiene conversions that provided the basis for the further development ...

A Survey of Methods for Constructing 3D Urban Models From Point Clouds
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.The survey outlines a general process for constructing 3D models from point clouds and categorizes the methods based on their use of templates, basic surface primitives, hybrid approaches, or linear primitives. Additionally, the survey reviews the datasets and benchmarks that are essential for testing and training the developed methods.

Enhanced Roofs for Passive Building Design: A Systematic Review of Thermal and Energy Performance
Applied Research, Volume 5, Issue 5, October 2026.This systematic review evaluates PCM‐ and NePCM‐integrated roofing systems for passive cooling. PCM roofs reduce heat flux and indoor temperature fluctuations, while NePCMs improve thermal conductivity with latent heat trade‐offs. Hybrid cooling strategies enhance performance, and future challenges in scalability, durability, and practical ...

A very particular set of skills: The role of perspective‐taking in hostage diplomacy negotiations
Political Psychology, Volume 47, Issue 4, August 2026.Abstract Hostage diplomacy—detaining foreign nationals for leverage under the pretext of national law—is a growing international security problem. Beyond constituting a violation of international law, hostage diplomacy is challenging to resolve. Target states must deal with aggressive, sovereign perpetrators; handle a fraudulent but plausible legal ...

Aggregate, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.The review discusses stimuli‐responsive hydrogels as soft optical materials that translate physical, chemical, and biological cues into refractive‐index, scattering, birefringence, diffraction, and transparency changes. It examines major stimulus classes and photonic architectures for biosensing, waveguiding, adaptive lenses, smart windows, and therapy.
