Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Reprogrammable multi‐material smart textiles knitted from liquid crystal elastomer fibers undergo 2D and 3D deformation under thermal and photo stimuli. Circularly knitted tubular structures reversibly contract in radial and axial directions, enabling autonomous climbing, liquid release, and micro pumping.

Multilateral Trade Agreements and Market-Based Environmental Policies [PDF]
We review the legal provisions of the WTO regime that have important implications for national, market-based environmental policies. We evaluate those provisions for their effects on a member country’s ability and incentives to design economically ...

Nanodiamond Quantum Sensors for Probing Free Radical Biology
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Free radicals play key roles in cellular signaling and disease but remain difficult to measure in living systems. Nanodiamonds (NDs) with nitrogen‐vacancy (NV) centers enable quantum sensing of local magnetic noise via T₁ relaxometry, providing nondestructive radical detection in living cells.

The LOGIC of National Policies and Strategies for Open Educational Resources
International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2013 In its first decade (2001-2010) the OER movement has been carried by numerous relevant and successful projects around the globe. These were sometimes large-scale but more often not, and they were primarily initiated by innovating educational institutions

OPEN REGIONALISM IN APEC: IMPACTS ON U.S. AGRICULTURE AND TRADE [PDF]
APEC's "open regionalism" calls for free-trade in APEC but with benefits also accruing to non-APEC members. This study shows that "open regionalism" provides strong incentives for non-APEC economies to also liberalize their policies to maintain ...

International Journal of Information Science and Management, 2016 Scholarly communication as a social activity needs rethinking since this process is in the monopoly of commercial publishers. Authors and their institutions as well as librarians had been working to achieve unrestricted access to research output. In this regard, many researchers around the world gathered in Budapest on February 2002 to decide on global

Spatially Modulated Morphotropic Phase Boundaries in a Compressively Strained Multiferroic Thin Film
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The coexisting rhombohedral‐like (R′, MA) and tetragonal‐like (T′, MC) monoclinic phases in compressively strained bismuth ferrite thin films exhibit exceptional piezoelectric and magnetic properties. While previous studies have largely focused on probing the morphotropic phase boundaries (MPBs) comprising ordered R′/T′ twins, their self ...

, 2015 Open Science is a topic currently being discussed in different research policy fora. It is also a priority of the Dutch Presidency of the Council in the first half of 2016. Open science is based on the idea that scientific knowledge of all kinds should be openly shared as early as is practical in the discovery process. This policy brief on Open Science

Ultrasmall Platinum Nanoparticles for Radiation‐Enhanced Cancer Therapy
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This work proposes a nanomedicine‐based strategy to enhance X‐ray radiotherapy for cancer treatment. Ultrasmall Pt‐NPs exhibit catalase‐like activity that may contribute to modulation of the tumor microenvironment and amplify interactions between radiation and biological matter, leading to increased DNA damage.
