Harnessing Outer Space for Improved Electrocaloric Cooling
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A novel radiative heat sink/source‐integrated electrocaloric (R‐iEC) system combines the electrocaloric (EC) effect with a thermally conductive radiative cooler (TCRC) to address heat dissipation limitations in EC devices. Utilizing outer space as a heat sink, the system achieves up to 240 W m−2 of heat dissipation performance, making it highly ...

Social capital at venture capital firms and their financial performance: Evidence from China [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 This paper studies the extent to which social capital drives performance in the Chinese venture capital market and explores the trend toward VC syndication in China. First, we propose a hybrid model based on syndicated social networks and the latent-variable model, which describes the social capital at venture capital firms and builds relationships ...

The Geography of Facebook Groups in the United States [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 We use exploratory factor analysis to investigate the online persistence of known community-level patterns of social capital variance in the U.S. context. Our analysis focuses on Facebook groups, specifically those that tend to connect users in the same local area.

High‐Speed and Scalable Wet Spinning of Graphene/Liquid Crystalline Elastomer Composite Filaments
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Polydomain filaments from graphene/liquid crystalline elastomer (LCE) composites are scalably‐manufactured by wet spinning across a wide range of diameters (≈137–1128 µm) at a speed up to 4500 m h−1 through a double diffusion coagulation mechanism, enabling fast actuation and optimized mechanical performance for broad applications.

A Micro-foundation of Social Capital in Evolving Social Networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 A social network confers benefits and advantages on individuals (and on groups), the literature refers to these advantages as social capital. This paper presents a micro-founded mathematical model of the evolution of a social network and of the social capital of individuals within the network. The evolution of the network is influenced by the extent to

Carbon Nanotube 3D Integrated Circuits: From Design to Applications
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.As Moore's law approaches its physical limits, carbon nanotube (CNT) 3D integrated circuits (ICs) emerge as a promising alternative due to the miniaturization, high mobility, and low power consumption. CNT 3D ICs in optoelectronics, memory, and monolithic ICs are reviewed while addressing challenges in fabrication, design, and integration.

BMJ, 2001 In today's British health service the experiences of patients and the insights of doctors and nurses1 highlight demoralisation and fragmentation. The solution lies in correcting years of underinvestment, but the nature of that investment must be appropriate: new buildings and staff are not enough.

Social Capital and Individual Performance: A Study of Academic Collaboration [PDF]
arXiv, 2011 Studies on social networks highlight the importance of network structure or structural properties of a given network and its impact on performance outcome. One of the important properties of this network structure is referred as "social capital" which is the "network of contacts" and the associated values attached to these networks of contacts. In this
