Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.A superhydrophobic 3D cell culture platform enables rapid and consistent formation of heterotypic tumor–stroma clusters, and reveals how physiological shear conditions influence metastatic signaling. Mechanical stimulation of cancer‐associated fibroblasts promotes sustained cytokine secretion and survival‐promoting pathways, showing how multicellular ...

Plasmonic Enhancement of Fluorescence and Protein Dynamics in Living Mammalian Cells
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This study demonstrates plasmonic enhancement of the function of fluorescent voltage sensing proteins (genetically encoded voltage indicators, (GEVIs), QuasAr6) in live mammalian cells. Coupling to plasmonic nanoparticles does not just increase fluorescence, but influences the protein photocycle, creating a hybrid sensor with its response speed to ...

The premium on acquisition in South African mergers: An empirical evaluation
South African Journal of Business Management, 1988 In this paper both the premium paid on acquisition during a merger as well as the method by which the target companies stockholders are paid for their holding are examined. The results indicate that in the South African (S.A.) context the average premium

Agro-sphere determinants of green branding: eco-consumption, loyalty, and price premium
Humanities & Social Sciences Communications, 2022 This research is devoted to the determinants of green branding in the agro-sphere. The existence of competition between regular and green brands in the agricultural sector has necessitated the determination of the degree of influence of green branding on

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This review traces the evolution of lithium‐ion battery separators from passive barriers to multifunctional components central to cell safety and performance. Polymer‐ceramic hybrids, nanofiber architectures, and bio‐derived membranes deliver ionic conductivities above 3 mS cm−1, thermal stability beyond 200 °C, and effective suppression of lithium ...

Green Premium: What is the Implied Prognosis for Sustainability?
Journal of Sustainable Real Estate, 2020 Economic considerations underpin almost every decision to determine social priorities. It is not surprising then that sustainability has fast become, among other things, economic advocacy.

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Transducers convert physical signals into electrical and optical representations, yet each mechanism is bounded by intrinsic trade‐offs across bandwidth, sensitivity, speed, and energy. This review maps transduction mechanisms across physical scale and frequency, showing how heterogeneous integration and multiphysics co‐design transform isolated ...

The Pricing of Auditor Market Power: Evidence from Iran [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Accounting, Auditing & Finance, 2017 This study examines audit pricing in an emerging audit market characterized by increasing competition but segmented by the continued presence of a government audit firm, and the exclusion of international audit firms. Using traditional audit fee modeling,

The Real-Time Predictability of the Size and Value Premium in Japan [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2002 This study examines whether the short-term variation in the japanese size and value premium is sufficiently predictable to be exploited by a timing strategy. In the spirit of pesaran and timmermann [j. Finance 50 (1995) 1201], we employ a dynamic modeling approach in which we explicitly allow for permutations among the determinants in order to mitigate
