Green Fuel Combustion Synthesis of CeO2 and Ag/CeO2 Nanoparticles for Photocatalytic and Antibacterial Applications

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Silver‐doped cerium oxide nanoparticles (Ag/CeO2 NPs) were synthesized using Ricinus communis seed extract as a bio‐derived fuel in a solution combustion method. The combustion reaction, carried out at 450°C with AgNO3 and (NH4)2[Ce (NO3)6] as metal precursors, produced CeO2 and Ag/CeO2 NPs.

‘Where are the adults?’: Troubling child‐activism and children's political participation

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Children's political participation is a well‐established theme in childhood studies. In this article we offer an original account of child activism that takes into account the entangled and emergent aspect of children as activists. We begin with a historical and a conceptual review, noting the importance of mid‐20th century developments such ...

Hand‐powered and programmable electrowetting‐on‐dielectric droplet actuation enabled by triboelectric nanogenerator and mechanically encoded punch‐card switch array

Droplet, EarlyView.
A hand‐powered and mechanically programmable electrowetting‐on‐dielectric platform is demonstrated by integrating a contact‐separation triboelectric nanogenerator with a mechanically encoded punch‐card switch array. This unified mechanical–electrical architecture enables autonomous, portable, and robust droplet control for field‐deployable microfluidic

Must-Take Cards: Merchant Discounts and Avoided Costs [PDF]

, 2011
Antitrust authorities often argue that merchants cannot reasonably turn down payment cards and therefore must accept excessively high merchant discounts. The paper attempts to shed light on this “must-take cards” view from two angles.

Investigations Into the Metabolism and Elimination of Flmodafinil and Fladrafinil for Sports Drug Testing Purposes

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
This article investigates the metabolism and elimination of flmodafinil and fladrafinil, two fluorinated analogs of modafinil and adrafinil listed as S6 stimulants by the World Anti‐Doping Agency. After single‐dose administration to six volunteers, the compounds and their main metabolites were studied in urine and blood.

Gut function among children treated for severe acute malnutrition: A cohort study in Uganda

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Impaired gut function in children with severe acute malnutrition (SAM) is associated with morbidity. We aimed to assess changes in six biomarkers representing different domains of gut function among children with complicated SAM during nutritional rehabilitation, and to identify predictors of these changes.

Comparative Evaluation of Structure–Processing–Property Relationships in Flax, Hemp, and Cattail Discontinuous fiber Thermoset Composites

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Needle punching reorients fibers from in‐plane direction toward z‐direction of the web, resulting in mechanical interlocking of fibers and reduction in the nonwoven mat thickness. ABSTRACT Replacement of glass fiber mats, utilized in large and complex composite parts in the transportation industry, with natural fiber mats requires knowledge of natural ...

Nonwoven rCF/PA6 Thermoplastic Composites: Hybrid Commingled Fibers vs. Powder Impregnation—Effects on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Comparison of powder impregnation and hybrid commingled non‐wovens for PA6/rCF nonwoven composites. The two‐step powder route gives lower voids and higher properties, while the single‐step hybrid route is limited by precursor inhomogeneity and high void content.
