“Now I Know Norway from Within”: 'Boundary Work and Belonging in Au Pairs’ Narratives'
Nordic Journal of Migration Research, 2016 This article analyses how female au pairs from the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) perceive some aspects of Norwegian society – public arrangements and rules; localities and social environment; and privacy and culture of parenting – to express ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.P4bm framework in NaNbO3‐Ba(Ti, Hf)O3 ferrodistortive relaxor entails short‐range and highly‐polar ferrodistortive orders. The abundant highly‐polar orders facilitate to increase entropy change, and robust octahedral oxygen tilt enables to impede thermal perturbations.

Spatially Modulated Morphotropic Phase Boundaries in a Compressively Strained Multiferroic Thin Film
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The coexisting rhombohedral‐like (R′, MA) and tetragonal‐like (T′, MC) monoclinic phases in compressively strained bismuth ferrite thin films exhibit exceptional piezoelectric and magnetic properties. While previous studies have largely focused on probing the morphotropic phase boundaries (MPBs) comprising ordered R′/T′ twins, their self ...

Glissile Interphase Boundaries Enable Collective Phase Switching in Epitaxial Polar Oxides
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A triple point is identified in the phase diagram of low‐symmetry epitaxial BiFeO3 thin film along with an extended regime of phase competition associated with a flattened energy landscape. The electromechanical response is shown to be governed by correlated interphase‐boundary motion, including scale‐free avalanche dynamics characteristic of systems ...

On the Milnor Monodromy of the Exceptional Reflection Arrangement of Type $G_{31}$
Documenta Mathematica, 2018 Combining recent results by A. D. Mačinic et al. [Doc. Math. (Bielefeld) 22, 135–150 (2017; Zbl 1358.14020)] with a spectral sequence and computer aided computations, we determine the monodromy action on H^1(F,\Bbb C) , where

Toward Fast Proton Shuttling in Acidic Oxygen Evolution Reaction
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This review establishes proton transfer dynamics as a descriptor governing acidic OER activity, moving beyond the kinetic constraints derived from the proton coupled electron transfer. We discuss how deprotonation governs classical mechanisms, including adsorbate evolution mechanism (AEM), lattice oxygen mechanism (LOM) and oxide path mechanism (OPM ...

Inhabiting uncertainties: reflections on disability and care practices in the fight assisted housing
Mediações: Revista de Ciências Sociais, 2018 The theme of assisted housing is recent in both public debates and Brazilian legislation. With an ethnographic work carried out in the city of Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, together with mothers of adults with cognitive disabilities who organized ...

Divisionally free Restrictions of Reflection Arrangements
, 2015 We study some aspects of divisionally free arrangements which were recently introduced by Abe. Crucially, Terao's conjecture on the combinatorial nature of freeness holds within this class. We show that while it is compatible with products, surprisingly, it is not closed under taking localizations.
