The Regime Shifts Database: a framework for analyzing regime shifts in social-ecological systems
Ecology and Society, 2018 Regime shifts, i.e., large, persistent, and usually unexpected changes in ecosystems and social-ecological systems, can have major impacts on ecosystem services, and consequently, on human well-being.

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.The role of various alloying elements in face‐centered cubic aluminum on the barrier of a Shockley partial dislocation during its motion is presented. The study aims to understand how alloying atoms such as Mg, Si, and Zr affect the energy landscape for dislocation motion, thus influencing the solid solution hardening and softening in aluminum, which ...

Experimental Analysis and Physics‐Based Analytical Model on Twisted and Coiled Artificial Muscles
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Twisted and coiled artificial muscles made from silver‐coated nylon fibers are investigated through experiments and analytical modeling. The actuators achieve contractions up to 19.3% and specific work of 8 kJ kg−1, though efficiency remains limited (≈0.15%) by thermal losses.

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 12, March 18, 2025.In this study, the unique role of the unusual lone‐pair‐π conjugation mechanism in poly(1,4‐anthraquinone) (P14AQ) is explored as an organic electrode material. Unlike traditional π‐π interactions, P14AQ's conjugation involves lone pairs of oxygen atoms interacting with the π cloud of adjacent units, enabling stable charge transport even with minimal π‐

Resilience: for and against [PDF]
Postgraduate Medical Journal, 2015 Fashions in medical education rise and fall like fashions in drug treatment. A new idea like “leadership” comes along, educators take it up with enthusiasm, institutions start to offer training in the subject, and research money becomes available to explore its effectiveness. After a while, people start to express scepticism about the idea. Researchers
