Does Economic Growth Drive Equitable Water and Sanitation Access? Assessing Inequality Reduction Across 64 Nations

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines whether economic growth reduces inequalities in access to water and sanitation across 64 countries over an average period of 13.5 years. Drawing on disaggregated data by income quintiles and rural–urban location, and employing ordinary least squares (OLS), two‐stage least squares (2SLS), and Seemingly Unrelated Regression

Sustainability Assessment: The Role of Entropy‐Based Indicators for Reconnecting Human' Subjectivity and Civilization With Natural Tendency of Ecosystems

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainability represents a complex issue in which scientific knowledge inevitably coexists with the subjective perception of humans in its turn influenced by civilization, cultural but also unconscious aspects. These results emerge with evidence from a critical analysis of the main definitions of sustainability delivered by credited entities (

Ultrasensitive MicroRNA Detection Combining Reduced Graphene Oxide Electrolyte‐Gated Transistors and Machine Learning

Small, EarlyView.
We developed an ultrasensitive and highly selective biosensor by integrating bio‐functionalized reduced graphene oxide (rGO) electrolyte‐gated transistors (EGTs) and machine learning (ML) to detect miRNAs (miR‐34a, miR‐34b, and miR‐34c) associated with cancer and neurological disorders.

Design, synthesis and activity evaluation of tetrahydroisoquinoline‐based programmed cell death ligand 1 inhibitors

Smart Molecules, EarlyView.
Based on a 3D‐quantitative structure‐activity relationship pharmacophore model, structural optimization of Y6 yielded Y7f. Mechanistic studies revealed that Y7f acted as a programmed death receptor 1/programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD‐L1) interaction inhibitor by inducing PD‐L1 dimerization. Y7f restored T‐cell function.

The Allais Paradox and Upside/Downside Risk Preference: An Experimental Analysis With Probability Weighting and Chernoff Faces

Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Allais Paradox is often attributed to the strong attraction of a certain option that avoids a downside risk, i.e., a small chance of a low payoff. In contrast, there is clear evidence from laboratory and field data that people are attracted to the upside risk of obtaining a relatively high payoff.

Creating a Masterpiece. The Road to (and Beyond) Woodward and Hoffmann's 1969 Angewandte Chemie Treatise

The Chemical Record, EarlyView.
This publication describes how R. B. Woodward and Roald Hoffmann crafted their masterpiece publications. Illustrations include Woodward's first draft of the famous “Violations There are none. Nor can violations be expected of so fundamental a principle of maximum bonding.” Original but discarded text shows the stepwise paths toward the W‐H masterpieces.

Madrasa Ideologies of English in Bangladesh: Questioning ELT‐Aid and Post‐9/11 De‐Islamization

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract External donors increasingly promote English as a notionally value‐neutral language of socioeconomic advancements in the Muslim South, overlooking local ideological diversities. Furthermore, national and Western forces deploy English as a tool to de‐Islamize madrasas (Islamic educational institutes) in the post‐9/11 world for global peace ...

100 Years of Element Zero: Andreas von Antropoff's Neutronium and the Naming of the Neutron

Zeitschrift für anorganische und allgemeine Chemie, EarlyView.
Congratulations to the 100th Anniversary of the publication of Andreas von Antropoff's element 0, “–“! This contribution provides a historical account of the concept of element zero and the naming of the neutron. The concept of element zero is 100 years old, having a first documented appearance in a 1926 publication by Andreas von Antropoff, while the ...
