Weeds Enhance Multifunctionality in Arable Lands in South-West of France

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2020
The current challenge in agriculture is to move from intensively managed to multifunctional agricultural landscapes that can simultaneously provide multiple ecological functions (multifunctionality), thus ensuring the delivery of ecosystem services ...

Representing multifunctional cities: density and diversity in space and time [PDF]

, 2003
In this paper, we define measures of urban diversity, density and segregation using newdata and software systems based on GIS. These allow us to visualise the meaning of themultifunctional city.

Multifunctional Crushing and Piezoresistive Self‐Sensing in Conductive Epoxy/CNT‐Coated Polyetherimide TPMS Lattices

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study reports lightweight polyetherimide triply periodic minimal surfaces lattices coated with carbon nanotube‐reinforced epoxy that combine mechanical robustness with self‐sensing. The conformal coating enhances stiffness, strength and energy absorption while enabling reliable strain monitoring.

Incorporation of Selenium into Sol–Gel‐Derived Bioactive Glass: Influence on Glass Structure, Bioactivity, and its Selective Cytotoxicity

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Selenium was incorporated into a sol–gel‐derived bioactive glass to enable sustained therapeutic ion release. The selenium‐containing glass preserved bioactivity while selectively inducing cytotoxicity in osteosarcoma cells and maintaining osteoblastic viability.

The Relationship Between Different Approaches to Multifunctionality of Agriculture and Choice of Methods: A Critical Review

Journal of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Community Development, 2016
The concept of multifunctionality in agriculture is significant to both academia and policy development. Agriculture can serve multiple purposes in addition to the production of food and fiber. It can aid in addressing environmental, economic, and social

Reconstructing multifunctionality [PDF]

Theoretical Linguistics, 2012
In this article, the author comments on the views of author Sandra Chung on multifunctionality in Chamorro. She argues that multifunctionality can be understood as a phenomenon distinct from conversion as well as from zero-coded derivation from a common root.

Additive Manufacturing of Continuous Fibre Reinforced Composites: Process, Characterisation, Modelling, and Sustainability

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Additive manufacturing provides precise control over the placement of continuous fibres within polymer matrices, enabling customised mechanical performance in composite components. This article explores processing strategies, mechanical testing, and modelling approaches for additive manufactured continuous fibre‐reinforced composites.

Copper Nanocrystallization in Anodic Oxide Films of Ti–Cu‐Based Bulk Metallic Glass and Its Effect on the Corrosion Resistance and Cytocompatibility

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Viktoriia Shtefan, Thorgund Nemec, Ute Hempel, Annett Gebert and coworkers demonstrate that anodic treatment of Ti–Cu‐based metallic glass in a nontoxic pyrophosphate electrolyte forms a protective bilayered Ti/Zr‐oxide film enriched with Cu nanocrystals.

Slow-Release Nitrogen Fertilizer Promotes the Bacterial Diversity to Drive Soil Multifunctionality

Agronomy
The application of slow-release nitrogen fertilizer not only economizes labor input, but also decreases the frequency of use of mechanical intakes, with significant implications in advancing modern intensive agricultural production.
