MICP-induced reduction of bound water film thickness in granitic residual soil: Development and AFM validation of a soil mechanics-based predictive model

Biogeotechnics
The mechanical properties of clayey soils are intimately linked to Bound Water Content (BWC). Microbially Induced Calcium Precipitation (MICP), as an emerging technology for slope treatment and foundation engineering, has an unclear mechanism in the ...

Uncovering renewable energy policy impact channels on land values, the local farm structure, and farmland heterogeneity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Germany's Renewable Energy Sources Act (REA), enacted in 2000 and subsequently amended, subsidized national renewable energy production with fixed feed‐in tariffs for renewable energy sources (RE) from wind, solar, and biogas. Empirical studies suggest that the policy was creating windfall effects for landowners and attribute farmland use ...

Molecularly Templated Buried Interfaces for Inverted Perovskite Solar Cells

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
We demonstrate a molecularly matched buried interface between SAM and perovskite, enhancing adhesion and passivating defects. This optimized interface achieves 26.58% power conversion efficiency and 86.72% fill factor with exceptional operational stability in both large‐area and wide‐bandgap devices, thereby increasing efficiency and prolonging ...

Exploring cross-city hospital visiting trips for medical service evaluation in urban agglomeration areas based on automobile navigation data

BMC Health Services Research
Background Understanding the supply-demand relationship of medical services is essential for regional planning. Existing city-scale studies typically exclude cross-city flows, whereas national-scale studies often overlook intra-city heterogeneity.

How does the Kids SIPsmartER program impact the sugar‐sweetened beverage intake of students: An investigation beyond total treatment effect in randomized controlled trial

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This study develops and empirically estimates a structural framework to decompose the causal pathways of multilevel behavioral interventions targeting adolescent health behaviors. We apply this framework to the Kids SIPsmartER (KSS) program, a 6‐month, school‐based intervention evaluated through a clustered randomized controlled trial in rural

Using photovoice to understand community perceptions of firearm risks and protective factors among Asian Americans

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study used photovoice methodology to explore Asian Americans' perspectives on the root causes and protective factors of firearm violence in their communities. Photovoice provided a participatory platform for community members to document lived experiences and identify priorities for change.

B/ordering and healthcare access for migrants with precarious status: The role of healthcare workers in counteracting restrictive policies

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract In Canada, precarious migration is largely invisibilized. Nonetheless, b/ordering greatly affects people's realities by limiting access to social rights. In Quebec, migrants with precarious status (MPS) do not have access to healthcare, although Quebec has a “universal” healthcare coverage.
