Artifex Ars Cartographica: Collaboration Between Portuguese Painters and Cartographers in the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Centuries

open access: yesRenaissance Studies, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, there was no statutory difference between cartography, drawing and painting. These activities were performed then by craftsmen who were part of a vast group under the umbrella of ‘mechanical arts’ and fell under the ‘artifex’ category. Artifex were experts in any particular art, whether a craftsman,

Small Language Models: A Systematic Review of Computational Trade‐Offs, Privacy Advantages and Deployment in Intelligent Systems

open access: yesExpert Systems, Volume 43, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT This systematic review synthesizes evidence from 68 studies, including peer‐reviewed journal articles, indexed conference/workshop proceedings and five remaining arXiv preprints published between 2022 and 2025, on small language models (SLMs) as computationally efficient alternatives to large language models (LLMs).

Cosolvent‐Enhanced Dissolution of Long‐Chain Polyamides: Toward Room‐Temperature Material Recycling of Sustainable Composites

open access: yesChemSusChem, Volume 19, Issue 13, 14 July 2026.
Long‐chain polyamides (PAs) such as bio‐derived PA11 and conventional PA12 are difficult to dissolve at room temperature, hindering facile recycling by dissolution‐based methods. This work shows that adding a weak H‐bonding cosolvent to formic acid can rapidly dissolve long‐chain PAs at room temperature by balancing H‐bonding and dispersive ...

The Concept of Revolution in the Sciences: Michael Polanyi's Differences With Thomas Kuhn on Scientific Revolutions

open access: yesNatural Sciences, Volume 6, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Thomas Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962) was a blockbuster publication that problematized notions about the origins and nature of scientific revolutions. What became Kuhn's famous rubrics of “normal science” and “paradigms” were similar to concepts of “tacit knowledge” and scientific “frameworks” or “dogmas” in Michael ...

Stereoselective Biotransformation: Transfer of Learning to Advance Drug Metabolism and Biocatalysis

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 25, 15 June 2026.
Understanding stereoselective biotransformations has implications for predicting drug disposition and response and may also inspire novel biocatalytic and biomimetic strategies to address challenges in metabolite and API synthesis. ABSTRACT Chirality is an important determinant of drug action, as enantiomers can exhibit markedly different ...

The Revo‐Evo Debate in the History and Philosophy of Science

open access: yesNatural Sciences, Volume 6, Issue 3, July 2026.
The paper juxtaposes revolutionary and evolutionary positions in epistemology in general as well as the history of science. While it deems the evolutionary arguments more persuasive, it also stresses the dependence of our assessment of change on the language we choose to describe the theories and positions under consideration.

Silver‐Alloyed Wide‐Bandgap (Ag,Cu)(In,Ga)S2 Thin‐Film Solar Cells With 15.5% Efficiency

open access: yesProgress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, Volume 34, Issue 7, Page 942-956, July 2026.
This study reports improvements in compositional homogeneity, microstructure, enhanced radiative recombination, and extended carrier lifetime of CIGS absorber via Ag incorporation. The optimal Ag‐alloyed CIGS solar cells achieve 15.5% PCE and 948 mV VOC, competing with the VOC of the Ag‐free reference sample from the same batch.

An Innovative Decision‐Making Model for Alternative Regulatory Frameworks Based on Sustainable Development Goal Disclosure Costs

open access: yesBusiness Ethics, the Environment &Responsibility, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 1907-1930, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The study explores the costs of disclosing sustainable practices within the decision‐making process. We identify various sustainable development goal (SDG) disclosure costs, including litigation, regulatory, reputational, operational, and proprietary costs.
