Functionalizing Micro‐to‐Mesoscopic Electrode Architectures for Regulating Electron Transfer Behaviors in Electrocatalysis

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A systematic review is conducted to assess the influence of electrode architecture across micro‐ to mesoscopic length scales on electron‐transfer pathways in electrocatalysis. We discuss the structure‐activity relationships in electrocatalytic applications, including resource recovery and environmental remediation, and provide cost‐effective, efficient

Cost Effectiveness of Streetworks’ Needle Exchange Program of Edmonton [PDF]

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Public Health, 1999
To conduct a cost-effectiveness analysis of the Edmonton Streetworks needle exchange program, in terms of the additional cost per HIV infection averted. The main outcome measures were needle use with and without Streetworks, HIV cases averted, and program costs.We conducted interviews and HIV saliva tests on a sample of street-involved intravenous drug

ATP‐Mediated Bidirectional Communication Between Natural and Artificial Cells for Controlled Bioreactions

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Establishment of bidirectional communication behavior between natural and artificial cells. The first type of communication from natural dendritic cells to artificial polymeric cells was achieved via ATP release after cell lysis. The released ATP was taken up via gated UV‐controlled permeability increase of the polymeric membrane for performing ...
