The timescape of smart cities [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of the American Association of Geographers, 2017
To date, critical examinations of smart cities have largely ignored their temporality. In this paper I consider smart cities from a temporal perspective arguing that they produce a new timescape and constitute space-time machines. The first half of the paper examines temporal relations and rhythms, exploring how smart cities are the products of and ...

Enhancing Biogenic Formic Acid Production in the Modified OxFA Process by Acetonitrile Addition

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study, the beneficial effect of using acetonitrile as a co‐solvent in the modified OxFA process is shown, outperforming methanol, demonstrating improved reaction kinetics combined with high selectivity for the HPA‐2 (H5PV2Mo10O40) catalyzed oxidation of xylose to FA.

Smart Cities in Europe [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Urban Technology, 2011
Urban performance currently depends not only on a city's endowment of hard infrastructure (physical capital), but also, and increasingly so, on the availability and quality of knowledge communication and social infrastructure (human and social capital). The latter form of capital is decisive for urban competitiveness.

Toward Long‐Term Reliable Human‐Machine Interaction: A Flexible, Breathable, and Self‐Powered Pressure Sensor System With Firefighting Validation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This work develops a breathable potentiometric self‐powered pressure sensor with good wearability, using a non‐woven fabric substrate and hydrogel electrolyte. The sensor is integrated into a five‐channel smart glove to acquire reliable hand motion signals, which are processed by a CNN for identity verification and smart vehicle control in human ...

Sub‐Terahertz Memristor Switches Using MoS2 by Liquid–Liquid Interface Assembly

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This work introduces application‐ready sub‐terahertz memristor switches fabricated from electrochemically exfoliated MoS2 nanosheets assembled at a liquid–liquid interface. The devices exhibit robust unipolar resistive switching, low insertion loss, and high isolation across 10–110 GHz.
