Globalizing Comparative Public Administration With Integrative Contextualization: State Autonomy in the Developmental Path of Hong Kong and Singapore

Public Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The lack of a common variable for comparison has been a major obstacle to the development of Comparative Public Administration (CPA). State autonomy enables an integrative contextualization approach, allowing both the analysis of contextual individual country experiences and the generation of generalized comparable knowledge.

Multilayer Cellulose Acetate–Viscose Films for Bio‐Based, Bio‐Degradable Packaging Applications

Packaging Technology and Science, EarlyView.
Cellulose acetate (CA) and cellulose foils stick together comprehensively after mild cellulose sodium hydroxide treatment and heated compression. For combined foils, water barrier properties correlate with CA thickness. Oxygen permeation suffers due to the sodium hydroxide pre‐treatment induced foil changes. The composite represents a biodegradable and

Step‐Ladder Bioprinting to Align Collagen Fibers for Anisotropic Tissue Fabrication

Small, EarlyView.
The step‐ladder printing platform includes successive segments of channels with varying widths in a custom barrel design. This design allows for improved anisotropy of collagen fibers during extrusion. To demonstrate its effectiveness, corneal constructs with high transparency and shape fidelity, as well as articular cartilage constructs, displaying ...

Renovating Neural Networks With Viral‐Mediated Gene Transfer From A Tissue Contacting Matrix Mimic

Small, EarlyView.
Fmoc‐DDIKVAV self‐assembling peptidemediated delivery of AAV‐BDNF significantly enhances neuroprotection in the striatum of a mouse model compared with AAV‐BDNF injection alone. This synergistic integration of biomaterial scaffolding and gene therapy holds substantial promise for slowing the progression of neurodegenerative diseases such as Huntington ...

The clashing of in situ and pre‐cast technologies—Western trends and local traditions in concrete engineering shaping shell construction in 20th‐century Hungary

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract After a blossoming pre‐World War II (WWII) period, the concrete construction industry in then‐socialist Hungary existed in a relative isolation from the Western World during the mid‐20th century. In this paper, we focus on the body of work of one of the then newly established state‐owned design offices, IPARTERV, to show how the isolation ...
