Machine‐Learning‐Guided Design of Incommensurate Antiferroelectrics via Field‐Driven Phase Engineering

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The key to enhancing the energy storage performance of antiferroelectrics lies in regulating the phase transition and reverse phase transition. A phase‐field‐machine learning framework is employed to predict the energy storage performance of Pb‐based incommensurate antiferroelectrics with multi‐scale regulation strategy, thereby revealing the dynamic ...

Coastal Tropical Convection in a Stochastic Modeling Framework

, 2017
Recent research has suggested that the overall dependence of convection near coasts on large-scale atmospheric conditions is weaker than over the open ocean or inland areas. This is due to the fact that in coastal regions convection is often supported by

Beyond Cartilage‐Inspired Supramolecular Polyurethane for Adaptive Impact‐Resistant Protection with Robustness, Self‐Healing, and Recyclability

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Cartilage‐inspired supramolecular polyurethane–urea (PU‐BAMB) elastomers are developed by integrating hierarchical hydrogen bonding and π–π stacking interactions within a dynamically reconfigurable network. This synergistic supramolecular architecture overcomes the intrinsic trade‐off between rigidity and recoverability, imparting exceptional toughness,

Making Women's Voices Count in Community Decision-Making on Land Investments [PDF]

, 2016
The adverse impacts of commercialization and largescale land acquisitions in the global South are often disproportionately borne by women. The loss of access to farmland and common areas hit women harder than men in many communities, and women are often ...

Livestock Tango: U.S. and Latin America Dance Together, but Who Will Lead?

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the competitiveness between Latin American and U.S. livestock and meat sectors. We employ a computable general equilibrium modeling framework to evaluate two scenarios: coordinated improvements in Latin American productivity, transport efficiency, and market access (Scenario I), and the minimum productivity gains required ...

Synergies in Agricultural Biodiversity Conservation: Decomposing the Interaction Between Nature Parks and Agri‐Environment Schemes

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding how policy instruments with overlapping goals interact is crucial for leveraging their synergies. This study explores the mechanisms for regional nature parks (a form of protected areas that impose no restrictions on agriculture) to enhance the adoption of biodiversity‐conserving agri‐environment schemes (AES) in Switzerland ...

The Future of Hydrogen‐Powered Aviation: Technologies, Challenges, and a Strategic Roadmap for Sustainable Decarbonization

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
Hydrogen‐powered aviation offers a transformative pathway to zero‐emission flight by eliminating in‐flight CO2 emissions. Key considerations include propulsion systems (fuel cells and hydrogen combustion), cryogenic storage and insulation challenges, infrastructure and cost barriers, and supply‐chain constraints.
