Review of Thermally Activated Twisted Coiled Polymer Actuators: A Materials Science Perspective

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Thermally activated twisted and coiled polymer actuators (TCPAs) combine lightweight design, large deformation, and scalable fabrication for soft robotic and wearable applications. This review connects polymer structure, processing history, helix geometry, and thermomechanical characterization to actuator performance, highlighting current challenges in

The tenants in the vineyard (GThom 65/Mark 12:1-12): A realistic and socialscientific reading

open access: yes, 2016
Kloppenborg’s reading of the parable of the tenants (Mk 12:1-12/GThom 65) can be  regarded as the first thoroughgoing realistic interpretation of the Tenants. By using  extensive literary evidence on viticulture from 300 BCE to 300 CE, Kloppenborg argues

A Neo-Realistic Reading of The Book of Lights [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
本文旨在从新现实主义的角度解读美国犹太作家哈伊姆·波托克的《光之书》。后现代主义在美国文坛上活跃了四十多年后,逐渐式微。现实主义文学开始回归人们的视野。从二战后至今,涌现出不少秉承传统现实主义创作原则的现实主义作家。他们的文学创作在继承现实主义忠于现实传统的同时,又从现代主义和后现代主义创作技巧中汲取了新营养,并且在20世纪80年代后比较明显地表现出自身的特色。这样一种不同于传统现实主义的文学创作方式被评论家称之为新现实主义。 引言部分概括性地介绍了犹太作家哈伊姆·波托克的创作生涯以及写作特色 ...

Tracking the reading eye: towards a model of real-world reading

open access: yes, 2017
Eye tracking has helped to understand the process of reading a word or a sentence, and this research has been very fruitful over the past decades. However, everyday real-world reading dramatically differs from this scenario: we read a newspaper on the ...

Electrically Readable Lateral Flow Assay Using Organic Transistors for Diagnostic Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Electrolyte‐gated organic field‐effect transistors (EGOFETs) are integrated with lateral flow (LF) paper fluidics to create a reusable, portable, and low‐cost point‐of‐care (PoC) diagnostic test. The devices are validated for Human Immunoglobulin G detection, achieving high sensitivity (0.1 fm), selectivity, and reproducibility with rapid results in 20–

LEAD: Literature Enhanced Ab Initio Discovery of Nitride Dusting Layers for Enhanced Tunnel Magnetoresistance and Lower Resistance Magnetic Tunnel Junctions

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) using MgO tunnel barriers face challenges of high resistance‐area product and low tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR). To discover alternative materials, Literature Enhanced Ab initio Discovery (LEAD) is developed. The LEAD‐predicted materials are theoretically evaluated, showing that MTJs with dusting of ScN or TiN on ...
