Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Fe(II)/chlorine system has emerged as a promising advanced oxidation technology for water treatment, yet its application in continuous‐flow systems remains unexplored. This study presents the first comprehensive investigation of the Fe(II)/chlorine process in a tubular microreactor, a setup that significantly enhances mass transfer and ...

A Kinetic Framework for the Pyrolysis of Poly(Ether‐Ketone‐Ketone) (PEKK)
Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.Crosslinking influences poly(ether‐ether‐ketone) (PEKK) pyrolysis. ABSTRACT Research to date on the thermal degradation of poly(ether‐ketone‐ketone) (PEKK) has largely been limited to low temperatures or analysis as part of a composite. Herein, we investigate the pyrolysis kinetics of neat PEKK from 480°C to 1000°C and characterize the degradation by ...

The Integration of Connectionism and First-Order Knowledge Representation and Reasoning as a Challenge for Artificial Intelligence [PDF]
, 2004 Intelligent systems based on first-order logic on the one hand, and on artificial neural networks (also called connectionist systems) on the other, differ substantially.

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.The present manuscript explored the effects of joint configurations on the cyclic shear behavior of intermittent joints for the first time. The cyclic shear response, shear strength degradation, dilation characteristics evolution, frictional property, fractal dimension, and dissipative energy were further analyzed during shear cycles, which is crucial ...

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract As tunnel construction advances in lengths and depths, the construction of tunnels in high geothermal environments has become increasingly common, raising significant fire risks. In this study, a 1:20 scale model tunnel test platform was constructed to investigate the effects of a high geothermal environment on fire behavior in tunnels during ...

Optimizing the computation of overriding
, 2015 We introduce optimization techniques for reasoning in DLN---a recently introduced family of nonmonotonic description logics whose characterizing features appear well-suited to model the applicative examples naturally arising in biomedical domains and ...

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.This work proposes a strategy that overcomes the porosity‐graphitization antagonism in carbon materials, converting Sargentodoxa cuneata residue into porous graphitic carbons to enable sustainable, high‐performance energy storage from biomass waste. The antagonism between porosity and graphitization critically limits carbon supercapacitor performance ...

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.This study presents a liquid metal–engineered β‐PVDF composite enabling high‐performance piezoelectric–triboelectric nanogenerators. Guided by MD/DFT simulations, GaIn doping promotes β‐phase formation and dipole alignment, while native oxides enhance charge retention.

From Empire to Aid: Analysing Persistence of Colonial Legacies in Foreign Aid to Africa
Journal of International Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT For decades now, Western development agencies and donors have been castigated for their colonial biases in providing aid to Africa. It is well established that donors provide considerably more foreign aid to their former colonies relative to other countries.

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.Abstract Background Huntington's disease (HD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder caused by a cytosine‐adenine‐guanine (CAG) repeat expansion in the huntingtin gene. The disease exhibits sex‐related differences in symptomatology and disease progression, but the effect on brain structural biomarkers and the interaction between sex and CAG‐age ...
