How Competitive Is Myanmar's Rice Sector? A Comparison of Production Costs and Efficiency

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper analyzes the cost competitiveness of rice production in Myanmar by examining production costs, cost efficiency, and the potential effect of improving cost efficiency on the country's global competitiveness. To achieve this, we conduct a comparative analysis of production costs among major rice‐producing countries and estimate the ...

Ultrathin Membrane With Ion‐Specific Gating Enables Interfacial Decoupling of Conductivity–Selectivity for Aqueous Flow Batteries

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
An interfacial ion‐specific gating strategy shifts membrane design from ion diffusion within ion‐exchange channels to ion partitioning at the membrane–electrolyte interface, thereby decoupling selectivity from conductivity. The strategy underscores the pivotal yet underexplored role of the membrane–electrolyte interface, providing a broadly applicable ...

Hydration Behavior of Tricalcium Silicate in Seawater Relevant Salt Systems: A Hybrid Study with the Aid of Machine Learning

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
The hydration behavior of C3S in seawater‐relevant solutions is studied based on experiments, boundary nucleation and growth (BNG) modeling, and machine learning. The main ions included in seawater modify hydration mechanisms, with MgCl2 showing the strongest acceleration effect at the same concentration.

Chirality‐Driven Piezocatalysis in MOFs: Achieving Efficient Cocatalyst‐Free Hydrogen Evolution

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
We report a chirality‐driven post‐synthetic modification strategy that grafts chiral L‐histidine (L‐His) onto the Hf6 clusters of MOF‐808(Hf), which significantly boosts the piezoelectricity and charge transfer efficiency, thus significantly enhancing the piezocatalytic performance of MOF‐808(Hf).

Human‐in‐the‐Loop Swarms: A Bionic Swarm Approach to Real‐World Soil Mapping

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article introduces the “Bionic Swarm,” a novel system that lowers the barriers to real‐world swarm validation by abstracting difficult hardware tasks to app‐guided human agents. We demonstrate the system's utility through the experimental validation of a geotechnical soil‐mapping swarm algorithm and show superior performance to baseline approaches

Anion–π Interaction‐Regulated Ion Generation and High Piezoionic Response in Ultrasoft Low‐Salinity Hydrogels

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The first hydrogel system employing anion–π interactions as a central design motif is developed. The cooperative aromatic–phosphate interaction motif provides dynamic cohesion and is proposed to regulate the separation and transport of water‐derived ionic species, achieving high piezoionic response in injectable, self‐healing, ultrasoft, low‐salinity ...

Cellular basis for blade splitting in bull kelp, Nereocystis luetkeana

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Blade splitting in bull kelp, Nereocystis luetkeana is central to thallus development and function, yet the cellular basis of this process remains poorly understood. Two historical models proposed contrasting mechanisms: One attributes blade separation primarily to programmed cell death, whereas the other suggests mechanical tearing ...
