Enhancing Blood Circulation With Epsilon‐Near‐Zero (ENZ) Materials via the Far‐Infrared Window of Human Skin

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Epsilon‐near‐zero (ENZ) silicon carbide enables a selective far‐infrared emitter spectrally aligned with the human skin window around 10 µm for wavelength‐matched thermal therapy. In 25 within‐subject trials (50 hands) monitored by laser speckle contrast imaging, SiC increases blood perfusion by 30.2% versus a broadband graphite emitter while ...

A Study of 100 tonf Tensile Load for SMART Mooring Line Monitoring System Considering Polymer Fiber Creep Characteristics

open access: yes한국해양공학회지, 2021
Mooring systems are among the most important elements employed to control the motion of floating offshore structures on the sea. Considering the use of polymer material, a new method is proposed to address the creep characteristics rather than the method

How Does Cultural and Colonial Heritage Affect Optimal Branding Strategies? Evidence From the Rice Sector in Senegal

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Africa's cultural and colonial heritage has profoundly segmented rice markets. Whereas in ancient centers of rice domestication, consumers maintained preferences for local rice consistent with their cultural heritage, preferences have shifted toward imported Asian rice in coastal areas around seaports, due to prior exposure to colonial import ...

Understanding exam access arrangements in practice: Challenges and opportunities

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Secondary students with specific learning difficulties (SpLD) often face challenges with academic tasks, particularly with high‐stakes examinations. Exam access arrangements (EAA) are provided as reasonable adjustments to reduce disadvantage for students with SpLD.

Structural Analysis of Oil-Spill Boom Grounding at Low Tide

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
Oil-spill booms in shallow waters and high tidal amplitudes could ground on the seabed and retain high amounts of seawater. The object of this study is to estimate the mooring force at both boom section ends and the occurrence of submarining observed ...

Emotional nourishment begets academic coping during the primary to secondary school transition

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The transition from primary to secondary school is widely viewed as the most demanding in a child's educational journey. Despite a wealth of research on this transition, little is known about the children's ‘lived experience’ of it across different contexts.

Toughness properties of a friction hydro pillar processed offshore mooring chain steel

open access: yesJournal of Materials Research and Technology, 2019
In the past few years, solid-state welding has been a great alternative in comparison to the conventional fusion welding technologies. Solid-state welds are usually processed in lower temperatures than the other common fusion joints, tending to avoid ...

Erwin Schrödinger und die Versuchungen der (Wissenschafts‐)Biografik: Vorurteilsgefüge und Mechanismen der Skandalisierung

open access: yesBerichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte, EarlyView.
Since late 2021, serious allegations have been made against physicist Erwin Schrödinger, ranging from pedophilia to serial sexual abuse. These accusations have significantly tarnished the Nobel Prize winner's public reputation. The ongoing debate has repeatedly raised the question of whether, and to what extent, these grave allegations are justified ...
