Enhancement of PVDF Electroactive Phase Content—Effect of Plasticizer as an Additive

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Preparation of spin‐coated PVDF composite films and the resulting crystalline phase transition (α → γ/β) triggered by cyclic‐ester EC interactions. ABSTRACT Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is a functional polymer with highly desirable electrical and piezoelectric properties.

An objective Bayesian method for including parameter uncertainty in ensemble model output statistics

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Conventional model output statistics and ensemble model output statistics methods for calibrating ensemble forecasts lead to severe underestimation of the probabilities of ensemble extremes (in blue). This is because they ignore statistical parameter uncertainty.

Epigenetic Dysregulation of the NKX2‐1/SPDEF Axis Drives Persistent Goblet Cell Differentiation and Epithelial Barrier Dysfunction in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Respirology, EarlyView.
This study investigated airway epithelial barrier dysfunction persistence in ex‐smokers with COPD and underlying mechanisms using single‐cell RNA and ATAC sequencing. Epigenetic NKX2‐1/SPDEF dysregulation maintains goblet cell hyperplasia and barrier dysfunction despite long‐term smoking cessation.

Why Autonomous Vehicles Are Not Ready Yet: A Multi‐Disciplinary Review of Problems, Attempted Solutions, and Future Directions

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Personal autonomous vehicles can sense their surrounding environment, plan their route, and drive with little or no involvement of human drivers. Despite the latest technological advancements and the hopeful announcements made by leading entrepreneurs, to date no personal vehicle is approved for road circulation in a “fully” or “semi ...

Local Activity and Selectivity Hotspots in Cu‐Pt Model Thin‐Film Electrocatalysts for Oxygen Reduction

Small Methods, EarlyView.
A Cu‐Pt model thin film catalyst is investigated via electrochemical scanning tunneling microscopy. This technique enables in‐operando active site detection on a nanometer scale. It is shown that the precise location of the active sites changes depending on the selectivity of the oxygen reduction reaction.
