Interface‐Directed Self‐Assembly of Thermoresponsive Block Copolymers for Tunable Interfacial Nanostructures

Small, EarlyView.
Surface pressure and temperature direct the assembly of P(NIPAM‐b‐AEMA) at the air‐water interface, transforming continuous films into tunable micellar nanodomains. The thermoresponsive P(NIPAM) block enables temperature‐controlled changes in domain size and order.

Multi‐Scale 3D Printing of Magnetic Polymer Nanocomposites with Controlled Particle Dispersion and Hyperthermic Response

Small, EarlyView.
Dispersion of magnetic nanoflowers in trimethylolpropane ethoxylate triacrylate to generate photocurable nanocomposites is described. Particle dispersion provides processability and target AC‐field stimulated temperature increases. Complex (DLP) printed structures with submicron features are demonstrated, and the potential for stimulated release of ...

AI‐enabled bumpless transfer control strategy for legged robot with hybrid energy storage system

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Designing Hybrid energy storage system (HESS) for a legged robot is significant to improve the motion performance and energy efficiency of the robot. However, switching between the driving mode and regenerative braking mode in the HESS may generate a torque bump, which has brought significant challenges to the stability of the robot locomotion.

Distributional Effect of Insurer Competition on Premiums: Evidence From the Employer‐Sponsored Health Insurance Market

The RAND Journal of Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study how insurer competition affects premiums for fully‐insured plans in the employer‐sponsored health insurance market. By utilizing quasi‐experimental variations induced by mergers among national insurers, we show that increased insurer concentration leads to higher premiums, but there exists substantial heterogeneity.

KLip-PPO: A per-sample KL perspective on PPO-Clip

Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) is the standard policy-gradient algorithm for on-policy reinforcement learning. The literature presents it in two forms, a clipped surrogate that bounds the importance ratio between successive policies and a Kullback-Leibler penalty between them. These forms are treated as separate algorithms with their own gradients,

The risk and resilience factors associated with secondary traumatic stress in school personnel: A scoping review

British Journal of Educational Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background School personnel bear the emotional burden of students' trauma. Secondary traumatic stress (STS), resulting from indirect trauma exposure, impacts well‐being and job performance through PTSD‐like symptoms, making addressing STS in schools a critical priority.
