Advanced Science, EarlyView.Theoretically, this study provides new insights into the atomic‐level adsorption mechanisms and structure‐property‐function relationships of sulfonated COFs for boosting ammonia nitrogen separation. Practically, the findings of this study can guide the design and optimization of COFs and other porous crystalline adsorbents to enhance the capture and ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Dual biomimetic active sites, i.e., mononuclear {ZnII(L)(H2O)} and dinuclear {L2ZnII(CHO2)(OH)ZnIIL2}, have been successfully intergrated into a metal–organic cage, Zn20‐MOC. These two different active sites in Zn20‐MOC catalyze different steps of cascade trimerization of 1,2‐diaminocyclohexane. The mononuclear {ZnII(L)(H2O)} site catalyzes the initial

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A simple to multiscale structure transition happens when a commercial porous foam is filled with multiwall carbon nanotubes with high aspect ratio. For an acoustic absorber with a porous material, the loading of multiwall carbon nanotubes can significantly improve its specific surface area while preserving its thickness and high porosity, thus enables ...

Philosophical Urbanism and the Predilections of Urban Design [PDF]
, 2012 The scholarly thrust of urban planning is its use of, as well as its contribution to, social science. As a discipline bordering with civil engineering, furthermore, urban planning has always carried also an important cross-disciplinary message beyond social science. Yet the association of urban planning with humanistic disciplines and the fine arts has

Pollen limitation of native plant reproduction in an urban landscape
American Journal of Botany, Volume 109, Issue 12, Page 1969-1980, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Premise Evidence suggests that bees may benefit from moderate levels of human development. However, the effects of human development on pollination and reproduction of bee‐pollinated plants are less‐well understood. Studies have measured natural variation in pollination and plant reproduction as a function of urbanization, but few have ...
