s‐Orbital Mediated Metavalent Bonding Enables State‐Of‐The‐Art n‐Type AgBiSe2 Thermoelectrics
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Metavalent bonding (MVB) underpins the exceptional property portfolio of chalcogenides. Typical MVB solids are mainly found in p‐bonded systems. This work reveals that MVB can also be formed with s‐p orbital interactions upon forming a single‐electron σ‐bond, as exemplified in AgBiSe2.

Sebum Components Dampen the Efficacy of Skin Disinfectants against Cutibacterium acnes Biofilms
MicroorganismsAt Canadian Blood Services, despite the use of 2% chlorhexidine and 70% isopropyl alcohol (standard disinfectant, SD) prior to venipuncture, Cutibacterium acnes evades eradication and is a major contaminant of platelet concentrates (PCs). Since C.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.The seminal transformation of a 2D‐COF (SURFCOF‐IMDEA1) into a 2D porous COF (SURFCOF‐IMDEA2) on Au(111) by a sequential C‐C coupling and ladderization triggered by thermal annealing steps at increasing temperatures is reported. Abstract The development of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) is currently a primary objective in materials science, taking ...

Backlogs are a dynamic system, not a warehousing problem
Forensic Science International: Synergy, 2020 Addressing casework backlogs would seem to represent “low hanging fruit” for increasing offender apprehension and improving justice. Yet, after years of grant funding for backlog reduction and capacity building, backlogged cases, especially DNA cases ...

Performance of Portfolios Based on the Expected Utility-Entropy Fund Rating Approach
Entropy, 2021 Yang and Qiu proposed and reframed an expected utility–entropy (EU-E) based decision model. Later on, a similar numerical representation for a risky choice was axiomatically developed by Luce et al. under the condition of segregation.

International Journal of Theoretical and Applied Finance, 2017 Given an investment universe, we consider the vector [Formula: see text] of correlations of all assets to a portfolio with weights [Formula: see text]. This vector offers a representation equivalent to [Formula: see text] and leads to the notion of [Formula: see text]-presentative portfolio, that has a positive correlation, or exposure, to all assets.
