Gradient p‐p Orbital Hybridization in Bismuth‐Doped Crystalline Carbon Nitride for Dual‐Functional Carbon‐to‐Carbon Valorization

EcoEnergy, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration comparing the charge transfer dynamics and catalytic reaction over the (left) pristine carbon nitride and (right) Bi‐doped carbon nitride photocatalysts. In the pristine system, random charge diffusion and rapid recombination limit catalytic efficiency. In contrast, the Bi‐doped system establishes a robust internal electric field

Whole‐House Thermal Bridge Modelling for Accurate Retrofit Energy Prediction

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This study models thermal bridging in a UK semi‐detached house across pre‐ and post‐retrofit scenarios using piecemeal and whole‐house approaches with EWI and IWI. Whole‐house retrofits reduce heat transfer coefficient by 60%; findings demonstrate that default values are often unrepresentative and advocate tailored Ψ value databases.

Molecular Palaeontology Prospects From Exceptionally Preserved Eocene Brackish‐Water Bivalve Batissa sitakaraensis (Venerida: Corbiculidae) From Hokkaido, Japan

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
This study reports the exceptional preservation of the Eocene freshwater bivalve Batissa sitakaraensis from Hokkaido, Japan. Multimodal analyses reveal that both the aragonitic shell mineralogy and the delicate organic periostracum retain their original structural and chemical characteristics after millions of years.

Dignity's Dilemma: Categorical Objections to Autonomous Weapons and Their Pacifist Entailments

Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dignity objections to autonomous weapon systems are prominent in contemporary military ethics, yet their theoretical foundations remain underexamined. This article reconstructs those foundations, showing what categorical dignity objections require to function as absolute prohibitions.

Recycling of volcanic ash and carbide slag in blended mortars: A multi-criteria performance assessment

Environmental Challenges
A multi-criteria performance evaluation was performed to assess the physical and durability properties of cementitious composites containing volcanic ash (VA) and carbide slag (CS). The investigated mortars involved cement mass substitution by VA at 0–40
