An Artificial Molecular Pump Powered by Light
A minimal rotaxane‐based supramolecular system functions as a light‐powered molecular pump, capturing macrocycles from solution and concentrating them within an intramolecular compartment. Repeated azobenzene photoisomerization modulates the binding and kinetic barriers of threading and shuttling, generating a photon‐driven energy ratchet that sustains

Uniaxial Ratcheting Behaviour of SA 508 Steel [PDF]
In piping materials, such as SA508 steel, used for pressurized heavy water reactors of nuclear power plants, ratcheting is manifested as a critical problem since it may alter the fatigue life of the said structure.

ABSTRACT This study considers consumers' environmental awareness of polluting firms' managerial delegation contracts and compares the effects of committed and time‐consistent emission tax policies. It reveals that when environmental performance (EP) incentives prevail, sales performance (SP) incentives depend on the emission tax type and competition ...

Harmonic ratcheting for fast acceleration
A major challenge in the design of rf cavities for the acceleration of medium-energy charged ions is the need to rapidly sweep the radio frequency over a large range.

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight
Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

Ratcheting Behaviour of 42CrMo4 Steel under Different Heat Treatment Conditions [PDF]
The phenomenon of ratcheting occurs under the influence of non-zero mean stress during cyclic loading operation, and it deteriorates low cycle fatigue life of engineering structures.

Parasports for cerebral palsy: Thinking and ‘prescribing’ beyond the Paralympics
This narrative review synthesizes current evidence on parasport participation for individuals with cerebral palsy, highlighting key benefits, and providing sport‐specific adaptations that enhance accessibility of parasport. Abstract The landscape of care for individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) has evolved far beyond ‘fixing’ impairments toward a life ...

Abstract This study aims to provide a better understanding of how policy‐making changes when an issue is framed as an emergency. Literature on emergency politics provides different views on policy‐making changes resulting from emergency frames, where ordinary and exceptional policy‐making overlap in different ways.
