Structure‐Guided Dynamical Mechanics in Bioinspired Double Twisted Laminated Thin Films

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work explores a dynamic mechanistic study of crack propagation and puncture testing via real‐time monitoring of crack initiation, propagation, and termination through nature‐inspired single and double twisted architectures fabricated from cellulose nanocrystals.

Breaking the Silence: Willingness to Intervene in Cases of Intimate Partner Violence

Behavioral Sciences
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is frequently regarded as a private issue, with witnesses often responding accordingly. As a result, a lot of violence remains unreported, either by the victim or observers. Statistical analyses were conducted on data from

Ambient‐Stable Transparent P‐Type CuI Transistors Via Room‐Temperature Pulsed Laser Deposition

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An in situ PLD fabricated AlOx${\rm AlO}_x$/CuI/AlOx${\rm AlO}_x$ sandwich structure enables stable CuI TFTs with a field‐effect mobility of 2.3 ±$\pm$ 0.7 cm2${\rm cm}^{2}$ V−1${\rm V}^{-1}$ s−1${\rm s}^{-1}$ and excellent ambient stability. Complementary inverters based on CuI:Rb and ZnO:Al exhibit rail‐to‐rail voltage transfer characteristics and an

The Influence of Segregated Education on Security and Stability in Post-Conflict Bosnia and Herzegovina [PDF]

Bezbednosni Dijalozi, 2018
More than 20 years after the war, Bosnia and Herzegovina is divided geographically, politically and culturally along ethnonational lines. The public education system represents a key arena in which nationalism and ethnic divisions are visible.

Conformational Switching of Proteins on Material Surfaces Enabled by Peptide‐Oriented Adsorption

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Responsive biointerfaces could be achieved using conformationally responsive proteins; however, their interconversion can be lost upon surface adsorption. Herein, we demonstrate that the incorporation a Au binding peptide into calmodulin allows for binding control on Au wherein the protein retains conformational switching. This capability was confirmed

No Constitutional Treaty? Implications for the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice. CEPS Working Documents No. 231, 1 October 2005 [PDF]

, 2005
The future of the Constitutional Treaty is now very much in doubt. The blows received from the French and Dutch referenda in such rapid succession have made it difficult to imagine that the Treaty, at least in its current form, will ever enter into force.

Bio‐Inspired Artificial Ionic Mechanoreceptor

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A skin‐inspired artificial mechanoreceptor based on ionic interactions is presented for biomimetic tactile sensing. Pressure‐driven ionic redistribution within microfluidic channels generates a self‐powered electrical signal without external bias. The generated waveform exhibits mechanoreceptor‐like temporal features, including overshoot and undershoot,
