Elasticity‐Driven Periodic Polarization Patterns in a Chiral Ferroelectric Nematic Fluid

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Chiral polar ferroelectric nematic fluids exhibit spontaneous formation of stripe, square, and hexagonal polarization textures under confinement. Controlled by thickness and anchoring, these patterns produce spatially modulated nonlinear optical responses.

Application of Business Ethics By Shirkah Contract: A Case Study of Indonesian Farmer Tradition

El-Jizya: Jurnal Ekonomi Islam
Economists argue that positivism refers to science and economic activities should be value-free. This means that the norm variable is not included as a variable that has an important meaning for both output and production input. This is not the case with

Multi‐Biomimetic Structural Colors Inspired by Pearls and Bird Feathers

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A dual‐biomimetic strategy mimicking pearls and bird feathers is proposed to construct full‐gamut structural colors. By integrating a non‐strictly periodic inorganic multilayer architecture with tunable light absorbers, this facile approach circumvents the complex fabrication of traditional 1D photonic crystals, offering immense potential for cosmetics,

Contracts, cost sharing and consistency [PDF]

Under a contract, agents are not only held to honor the allocation as prescribed by a cost sharing mechanism but also a full description of allocated units and costs once production falls short. For agents leaving the cost sharing problem by taking their

Production Sharing Contracts in the Oil and Gas Industry

16th International Scientific Conference on Economic and Social Development - The Legal Challenges of Modern World : book of proceedings, 2016
When dealing with the issues of gas and oil exploration and production, international investors and host countris can use different types of agreements: concession contracts, production sharing agreements, joint operating agreements or contracts services. Production Sharing contracts come in a variety of styles. There are two parties to the contract, a

Smart Electrospun Nanofibers for Controlled Oil‐Water Separation

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Stimuli‐responsive electrospun nanofibers are reviewed as advanced platforms for controlled oil/water separation. The effects of surface wettability, porous structure, and external stimuli, including pH, temperature, gas, and light, on separation performance are discussed.

Firm Heterogeneity, Contract Enforcement, and the Industry Dynamics of Offshoring [PDF]

We develop an endogenous growth model to study the long run consequences of offshoring with firm heterogeneity and incomplete contracts. In so doing, we model offshoring as the geographical fragmentation of a firm’s production chain between a home ...

Programmable Pneumatic Actuator System for a Bioinspired Artificial Colon

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A modular soft robotic colon simulator driven by programmable pneumatic actuation is developed to mimic physiological and pathological‐like motility patterns of the large intestine. Finite element–guided design and distributed control enable anatomically realistic deformation for peristalsis, segmentation, and mass movements, supporting capsule ...
