Bio‐Inspired Strategy for Radiation‐Based Thermal Management and Utilization

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Biological organisms have evolved remarkable strategies to manage and exploit thermal radiation. This review explores bio‐inspired systems that mimic these adaptations—such as radiative cooling, thermal regulation, thermal insulation, water harvesting, infrared camouflage, and infrared detection—and highlights their application in thermal management ...

A Soft‐Soft Contact Triboelectric Nanogenerator with a Ternary Four‐Phase Structure for Self‐Powered High‐Efficiency Dust Removal on Mars

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The frequent dust storms and charged dust particles on Mars pose significant challenges to the power generation efficiency and service life of solar panels during exploration missions. This paper proposes a novel wind‐driven ternary four‐phase soft‐soft contact triboelectric nanogenerator (FPS‐TENG) for dust removal.

Seasonality in Dynamic Stochastic Block Models

open access: yes, 2017
Sociotechnological and geospatial processes exhibit time varying structure that make insight discovery challenging. This paper proposes a new statistical model for such systems, modeled as dynamic networks, to address this challenge.

Cyprus as a winter destination. An exploratory study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Seasonal fluctuations of demand are regular in the Mediterranean islands. this could be attributed to the distinct qualities of island destinations, their vulnerability, peripherality, and isolation.

Stacking Interventions Enhances Carbon Removals and Profitability of Livestock Production Systems

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The study indicates that stacking multiple interventions aimed at maximising soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration and enteric methane (CH4) reductions realizes greater abatement and profit do any singular intervention, especially when SOC sequestration accounts for a significant proportion of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) mitigation. Abstract While

An Overview of Tourism Seasonality: Key Concepts and Policies

open access: yesAlmatourism, 2012
Seasonality in tourism represents a key topic in academic literature. Since the first study of BarOn (1975) about tourism seasonality, this topic is still currently being tackled over decades by several authors, as well as by policy makers of the tourism

Humidity‐Controlled Smart Window with Synchronous Solar and Thermal Radiation Regulation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A humidity‐responsive PTFE/PVA composite membrane with a nanoporous structure is developed and integrated between double glazing for the construction of smart windows. By modulating the interlayer humidity levels, this system achieves dynamic solar modulation (54.4%) and thermal radiation modulation (51.4%) via reversible water vapor adsorption ...
