Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Elephant‐skin‐inspired crack networks are programmed in porous diatomaceous earth (DE)‐cement composites using substrate‐guided, stress‐concentration induced fracture. The resulting crack lattices act as capillary conduits that redistribute water, while the porous matrix stores moisture.

Urban Structure and Suburban Selectivity [PDF]
Demography, 1964 Se informa respecto a los resultados de dos estudios sobre “selectividad suburbana.” El primero es un estudio longitudinal en su orientacon y examina la medida en que las grandes ciudades y sus suburbios estaban tendiendo a “polarizarse” alrededor de lineas de clase entre los anos 1940 y 1960. Nueve de las diez areas metropolitanas mayores exhibian una
