Pipe Water, Employment and Health: A Gendered Analysis in India

Review of Development Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the impact of indoor piped drinking water (IPDW) on gender disparities in employment and health in India, using panel data from the India Human Development Survey (2005–2012). Employing a differences‐in‐differences (DID) model with heterogeneous treatment effects, the analysis reveals that IPDW access increases rural women ...

In Situ Preparation of Ti2Ni/NiTi Dual‐Phase Alloy With High Wear Resistance and Damping Performance by Additive Manufacturing

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Many metallic components are frequently subjected to coupled environments of friction and vibration, stemming from interfacial contact and relative motion between mating parts or external stimuli. Consequently, it is imperative for these components to exhibit a synergy of high wear resistance and superior damping properties.

Graphene and amorphous carbon coatings for nitinol cardiovascular stents by direct chemical vapor deposition: A comparative insight

Materials & Design
Carbon-based coatings are promising for biomedical implants, including vascular stents, but fabrication on metals often requires adhesion interlayers or polymer-assisted transfer, increasing cost and complexity. Here, we report a simple, ambient-pressure
