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

The role of identification in data‐driven policy iteration: A system theoretic study

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
Abstract The goal of this article is to study fundamental mechanisms behind so‐called indirect and direct data‐driven control for unknown systems. Specifically, we consider policy iteration applied to the linear quadratic regulator problem. Two iterative procedures, where data collected from the system are repeatedly used to compute new estimates of ...

Injury Risks to a Migratory Freshwater Fish During Downstream Passage Through a Regulated Floodplain Outlet: A Case Study on Golden Perch (Macquaria ambigua)

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT River infrastructures such as weirs, dams, inlet and outlet regulators often impair connectivity, leading to degradation and loss of key habitats for riverine fishes. This also holds true for golden perch (Macquaria ambigua Richardson), a migratory species in Australia's Murray–Darling Basin.

On an Aggregation Theory for Indicators Expressing Behaviors of Complex Systems With an Application to Sustainability

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Certain attributes of large‐scale complex systems are often expressed through sets of indicators. For example, the sustainability of an entity, be it a nation, a city, an energy system, a corporation etc., can be effectively represented by indicators and corresponding data series.

Toward All 2D‐Based Printed Raindrop Triboelectric Nanogenerators

Small, EarlyView.
A raindrop triboelectric nanogenerator (RD‐TENG) based on solution‐deposited 2D materials is described, where successive drop impacts generate short‐circuit signals. Graphene–SWCNT hybrid films serve as conductive contacts and transition metal dichalcogenides as active layer.

3D Customized Silica‐Based AFM Probes Fabricated by Selective Laser Etching

Small Methods, EarlyView.
Selective laser etching (SLE) enables the monolithic fabrication of customized, fully 3D silica AFM probes integrating both cantilever and tip with controlled 3D geometries. The process allows the production of either sharp or spherical tips with high design flexibility, reproducibility, and yield.

Better on Average? Average Inflation Targeting With an Unclear Averaging Window

Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Average inflation targeting (AIT) aims to stabilize inflation expectations by offsetting past deviations from target. However, ambiguity about the averaging window can complicate expectations formation and reduce policy effectiveness. This paper integrates AIT into a benchmark DSGE model, incorporating adaptive learning and a signal extraction

Influence of Competitive C–P Segregation on Austenite Grain Growth in Iron Alloys

steel research international, EarlyView.
This study investigates how carbon influences phosphorus‐induced solute drag effects during isothermal annealing of austenite grain growth in Fe–C–P alloys. Using in situ high‐temperature laser scanning confocal microscopy and density functional theory simulations, it demonstrates that carbon above a critical temperature significantly reduces P ...
