“[She] said : ‘take the test’ and I took the test”. Relational work as a framework to approach directiveness in prenatal screening of Chinese clients in Hong Kong [PDF]

, 2013
In this paper we apply the framework of relational work, or the work individuals invest in maintaining their relationships (Locher and Watts 2005), to the analysis of prenatal screening (PS) for Down Syndrome of Chinese clients in Hong Kong.

Chemical Strategies for Multistimuli Responsive Dynamic Covalent Materials in Regenerative Medicine

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Multistimuli responsive dynamic covalent materials integrate reversible chemistry with the complex chemical, mechanical, and biochemical cues of regenerative environments. This review highlights chemical strategies based on orthogonal dynamic bonds, multicomponent networks, and hierarchical architectures to regulate mechanics, degradation, and ...

Limits to the Hall Effect and Other Nonreciprocal Effects in Three‐Dimensional Metamaterials

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Comprehensive and fundamental bounds on nonreciprocal effects in three‐dimensional metamaterials are derived. They reveal that the effective Hall mobility cannot exceed the largest constituent mobility, that, under certain conditions, the Verdet constant cannot be enhanced, and that, for constituents with Hall coefficients of the same sign, the largest

Sub‐Nanometer Curvature Unlocks Quantum Orbital Flexoelectricity in Graphene

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
In self‐assembled, reproducible, large‐area, quasi‐pristine graphene nanowrinkles, extreme curvature forces out‐of‐plane π‐electrons toward hybridization, driving a transition from classical to quantum orbital flexoelectricity. As curvature approaches the fundamental physical limit set by the C─C bond length, the resulting polarization increases by ...

Autonomous Folding of Soft Matter From Living Polymers

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Origami structures are endowed with “living” polymer creases that grow, remodel, and stiffen in response to nutrient solutions. This post‐fabrication growth enables autonomous folding, iterative regrowth, and mechanical tuning involving origami assemblies, such as cranes, Miura‐ori tessellations, rigid and non‐rigid square‐twist patterns, establishing ...

Conceptualising 'the relational' in pragmatics: insights from metapragmatic emotion and (im)politeness comments [PDF]

, 2011
Over the past few years, there has been an increased focus on ‘the relational’ in pragmatics. However, different pragmatics scholars (e.g. Holmes and Marra 2004; Locher and Watts 2005; Arundale 2006; Spencer-Oatey 2000/2008) take different approaches to ‘
