Drivers' perception of right-of-way at uncontrolled T intersections

, 2018
One thousand licensed drivers were asked a question regarding assignment of right-of-way at an uncontrolled T intersection when a vehicle on the stem of the T and a vehicle to the left of the first both arrive at about the same time. Of 487 responses to the question 68.38 percent were incorrect.

Carbon VIX, Climate Risk and Financial Stability New Evidence From Developing Countries

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the effects of the carbon VIX and climate risk on financial stability through the banking Z‐score in developing economies. Using the Dynamic Panel Threshold Model of 106 developing countries from 2012 to 2022, the results reveal that both carbon VIX and climate risk exert a significant negative influence on banking ...

National Policy Coherence Counts for Reducing Inequality in Global Climate and Development Agendas

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT International institutions promote policy coherence as crucial to the effective and fair implementation of global sustainability agendas, though the evidence for its benefits is slim. We present here the first systematic cross‐country dataset on the consequences of national government efforts to promote policy coherence for vulnerable groups ...

Strategy for One‐Step Optimization of Metal Oxide Passivating Contact Materials for Si Heterojunction Solar Cells through Growth Angle Variation

Small, EarlyView.
A one‐step oblique angle reactive sputtering approach enables simultaneous tuning of bulk and interfacial stoichiometry in a metal oxide/ silicon heterojunction. In case of vanadium oxides, growth angle variation controls the formation of stoichiometric SiO2, ternary SiOx(V) interlayer, and phase purity of vanadium oxide, considerably simplifying the ...

Topotactic Nitridation Enabled Core–Shell La4Ti3(O,N)12@LaTiO2N for Efficient Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting

Small, EarlyView.
Topotactic nitridation of (111)‐plane layered perovskite La4Ti3O12 proceeds through a persistent 2D layered oxynitride La4Ti3(O,N)12, enabling formation of a core–shell La4Ti3(O,N)12@LaTiO2N heterostructure before full conversion into 3D perovskite LaTiO2N.

MXene Bioinks for 3D Bioprinting: Design and Translation

Small, EarlyView.
This study establishes a comprehensive framework for MXene‐based bioinks in 3D bioprinting, highlighting the interplay between rheological engineering and electroactive hydrogels. By optimizing electrical percolation and mediated signaling, these formulations drive tissue‐specific biological outcomes and accelerated regeneration.

Punching shear of unbonded post‐tensioned steel fiber reinforced concrete slabs: The fiber contribution

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) enhances the flexural capacity of flat slabs and, due to its effectiveness in statically redundant bi‐dimensional elements, represents a viable alternative to conventional reinforcement. Although numerous studies have investigated the flexural behavior of SFRC slabs with and without bonded reinforcement ...

Four‐dimensional immuno‐mechanobiomaterials: Dynamic material cues that program host response to prevent fibrosis and enable regeneration

VIEW, EarlyView.
Dynamic immuno‐mechanobiomaterials with time‐programmed mechanical adaptation orchestrate host responses through precise mechanotransduction and immune‐stromal regulation. These adaptive biomaterials minimize mechanical mismatch, attenuate the forign dy response and fibrosis, promote angiogenesis and controlled extracellular matrix remodeling, and ...

Cuttings, Combings, Fettlings and Flock: Gender and Australian Wool ‘Waste’, 1900–1950

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As Australia's wool industry produced vast amounts of fine fleece from the nineteenth century, the wool processing and clothes manufacturing industries generated waste – products like cuttings, combings, fettlings and flock. Salvaged and then sold to waste merchants, these and other materials had a second life.
