The Dao of Nineteenth-Century Japanese Nativist Healing: A Chinese Herbal Supplement to Faith Healing [PDF]

, 2008
This article seeks to suggest in detail how Chinese medical practices became acceptable to the nineteenth-century nativist Hirata Atsutane, whose extreme anti-Chinese bias made such acceptance highly problematic. A related goal is to introduce the little-

Geochronology of the Whittlesey sedimentary succession, eastern England: The ‘Pompeii’ of the British late Middle Pleistocene to Holocene record

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The sedimentary succession at Whittlesey preserves a unique British late Middle Pleistocene to Holocene record back to a time equivalent to at least marine oxygen isotope stage 8 (ca. 250 ka). This study builds on previously published sedimentology, geochronology and palaeoecology results to establish 20 sedimentary facies associations, with ...

Mechanical Reinforcement of Polymer Nanocomposites with Different Network Structure of Polymer Grafted Nanoparticles

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
Due to the different conformation structures of the grafting chains on the surface of silica, the nanoparticles contact each other by brush chains and bridge into a polymer‐mediated nanoparticle network in HDPE14K/HDPE1K‐g‐SiO2 PNCs, resulting in a more significant modulus reinforcement than that of PP370K/PP90K‐g‐SiO2 PNCs with a soft interfacial ...

Landless peasants, soilless cultivation: British agricultural experimentation and intervention in post‐independence Iraq (1932–1958)

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
‘Greening’ is often depicted as an inherently benevolent practice, turning arid stretches of land into arable and fertile plots. However, by considering a longer history of place and taking archival records into account, such transformations are rendered more complex and, often, more fraught.

Implementing potential climate‐smart practices through diverse partnerships

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate change is one of the greatest threats to society, negatively impacting agriculture and crop yields. Globally, agriculture is also one of the largest greenhouse gas (GHG) emitting sectors. Climate‐smart practices that are developed through diverse partnerships with scientists and practitioners are needed to decrease GHG emissions. We implemented

A Study on Preventing Thermal Runaway of Contaminated Ammonium Nitrate Prill in Bulk Storage

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration of a contaminated region of ammonium nitrate prill undergoing exothermic decomposition, producing gases containing NOx. The interstitial flow of these heated gases rapidly raises the temperature of ammonium nitrate along the flow path.

Correlation Between Strain Gradient and Fracture Damage Mechanism of TA18 Alloy Based on In Situ SEM/EBSD Analysis

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT TA18 alloy is an ideal material for piping systems in the aerospace field, the low notch sensitivity and high damage tolerance enhance its engineering application value. However, the complex failure mechanism influenced by strain gradient necessitates further improvement of the service stability for TA18 alloy in practical engineering ...

Constructing Serrated Boride Composite Layer for Enhancing Wear Resistance of Ti6Al4V Alloy

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Appropriate configuration combined with strong interface bonding is the essential requirement for developing high wear‐resistant coatings. Herein, based on the powder‐pack boriding process, the properties of Ti6Al4V alloy are effectively improved by constructing a serrate tribological boride composite layer.

In Situ Tailoring of FCC Ductile Phases for High‐Strength Wear‐Resistant Crack‐Free W‐Based Metallic Coatings

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tungsten is inherently brittle and particularly prone to thermal stress concentration and crack formation during additive manufacturing processes such as laser cladding, which severely limits its engineering applications as a coating material. To address this issue, this study proposes an in situ toughening strategy involving the introduction ...
