‘Soft power is such a benign animal’: narrative power and the reification of concepts in Japan

Cambridge Review of International Affairs, 2019
The purpose of this article is to analyse how the seemingly natural fit between Japan and the soft power concept has been possible despite the notorious vagueness of the concept and what the consequences of soft power’s reification are.

Atomic Size Misfit for Electrocatalytic Small Molecule Activation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This review explores the application and mechanisms of atomic size misfit in catalysis for small molecule activation, focusing on how structural defects and electronic properties can effectively lower the energy barriers of chemical bonds in molecules like H2O, CO2, and N2.

Self-Healable, Stretchable, Transparent Triboelectric Nanogenerators as Soft Power Sources.

ACS Nano, 2018
Despite the rapid advancements of soft electronics, developing compatible energy devices will be the next challenge for their viable applications. Here, we report an energy-harnessing triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) as a soft electrical power source ...

Power Counting in the Soft-Collinear Effective Theory

, 2002
We describe in some detail the derivation of a power counting formula for the soft-collinear effective theory (SCET). This formula constrains which operators are required to correctly describe the infrared at any order in the Lambda_QCD/Q expansion ...

Engineering Porous Hollow Metal‐Poly(Heptazine Imide) Spheres: An Optimized Synthetic Strategy for Controlling Surface, Morphology, and Properties

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Hollow poly(heptazine imide) spheres are prepared through a novel approach that integrates hard templating with ionothermal synthesis. This method enables precise control over surface area, pore volume, hydrophilicity, light absorption, band position, and metal composition. These tunable properties facilitate the customized design of semiconductors for

The longest timescale X-ray variability reveals an evidence for active galactic nuclei in the high accretion state

, 2010
The All Sky Monitor (ASM) onboard the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) has continuously monitored a number of Active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with similar sampling rates for 14 years from 1996 January to 2009 December.

Generalized intuitionistic fuzzy soft power aggregation operator based on t‐norm and their application in multicriteria decision‐making

International Journal of Intelligent Systems, 2018
The aim of this paper is to develop some new power aggregation operators for intuitionistic fuzzy (IF) soft numbers. The aggregation operators are named as IF soft power averaging (IFSPA) operator, weighted IFSPA (WIFSPA) operator, ordered WIFSPA ...
