Multi-dimensional impact of COVID-19 on active mobility in urban China: a scoping review of empirical knowledge

open access: yesFrontiers in Public Health
Active mobility, such as cycling and walking, is assuming a growing significance in the daily lives of urban residents in China due to its positive impact on health and the environment. The impact of the COVID-19 epidemic has elicited significant changes

Nonplanar Bouligand Architectures for Enhanced Mechanical Performance in Cementitious Composites

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Inspired by the impact region of the Mantis shrimp dactyl club, nonplanar additive manufacturing translates sinusoidal Bouligand architectures into cementitious composites. Printing‐induced anisotropy and architected interfaces promote distributed damage and arrest crack propagation, enhancing strength and energy absorption.

Chinese Unions: Nugatory or Transforming? An 'Alice' Analysis [PDF]

open access: yes
China has, apparently, more trade union members than the rest of the world put together. But the unions do not function in the same way as western trade unions. In particular Chinese unions are subservient to the Partystate. The theme of the paper is the

Breaking Bottlenecks in Solid Electrolyte Discovery With Large Artificial Intelligence Models

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Large AI models are presented as a route to break key bottlenecks in solid electrolyte discovery by linking materials databases, machine‐learning interatomic potentials, large language models, and autonomous experiments. This perspective highlights how AI can accelerate the identification of solid electrolytes with fast ion transport, stable interfaces,

Ionic Liquid (IL) Compatibilization of Macropore‐Infused Nanocomposite Emulsion Thermosets (MINETs) for Structural Ion Transport

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Macropore‐infused nanocomposite emulsion thermosets (MINETs) offer tunable multifunctionality due to their incorporation of structural resin, functional nanoparticles, and working fluid stabilized by surfactant. Here we show that if ionic liquid working fluids are introduced, structural capacitive (conductive particles) or separator (insulating ...

Investigation of Persistent Luminescence of Strontium Aluminate in Polymer Films for Passive Daytime Radiative Cooling Application

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Persistent Luminescence of doped SrAl2O4:Eu2+, Dy3+ formulated in polymer matrices is a promising solution to be integrated in building envelopes for enhancing Passive Daytime Radiative Cooling. ABSTRACT Persistent Luminescent (PersL) materials have found applications in several fields; their integration into passive daytime radiative cooling systems ...

Trade Unions and Women's NGOs in Iran

open access: yes, 2004
A comparison of trade unions and NGOs in Iran demonstrates the diverse nature of their activities. Over the last 90 years, trade unions have played important roles in changing the political system in that country.

A Critical Review on the Evolution of Chitosan‐Based Injectable Hydrogels in Bone Regeneration

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
The graphical illustration depicts hydrogel formulation using chitosan and biocompatible cross‐linkers, major advantages, and incorporation of cells, osteoinductive factors, and therapeutic drugs. Following injection, pH‐responsive gelation enables controlled drug release, promotes cell recruitment and osteogenic differentiation, enhances extracellular
