Breaking Barriers: Scaffolding Social‐Symbolic Work for Women’s Economic Empowerment

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract This study advances the understanding of Women’s Economic Empowerment (WEE) in non‐Western contexts by theorizing how social‐symbolic work facilitates empowerment despite entrenched institutional and cultural constraints. Drawing on a qualitative study into the establishment of Kuwait’s first women’s business incubator, we explore how female ...

Pressed lithium disilicate glass ceramics: Microstructural characterization, in vitro and in silico nonlinear dynamic analysis for biaxial flexural strength

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To evaluate the mechanical properties of lithium disilicates, and to assess the predictive capability of in silico models for biaxial flexural strength (BFS). Materials and Methods Specimens of four heat‐pressed lithium disilicates (IPS e.max Press, Rosetta SP, LiSi Press, Vintage Prime Press) were obtained.

Vacuum window glazings for energy-efficient buildings [PDF]

, 1990
The technical feasibility of a patented, laser-welded, evacuated insulating window was studied. The window has two edge-sealed sheets of glass separated by 0.5-mm glass spheres spaced 30 mm apart in a regular array. A highly insulating frame is required and several designs were analyzed.

Ambient‐Spray Ni–Cu(–O)/Ag Nanowire Transparent Heaters for High‐Temperature Heating and Far‐/Near‐Field EMI Suppression

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 16, 18 August 2026.
A vacuum‐free, ambient‐spray Ni–Cu(–O)/Ag nanowire transparent‐heater platform is realized via conformal junction‐shell engineering and silica–hybrid overcoating, enabling robust high‐temperature heating together with GHz‐band far‐field EMI shielding and near‐field magnetic‐noise attenuation.

Scaling Up of a Lightweight Aggregates System Based on Recovery Raw Materials and With Fertilisation Capacity: From Laboratory Prototype to Semi‐Industrial Production

Applied Research, Volume 5, Issue 4, August 2026.
Improved glass meltability enabled semi‐industrial prototyping of a residue‐derived PK fertiliser. Firing produced mechanically stable micropellets and induced partial vitrification, pore‐network reorganisation, delayed P release, but restricted K availability; 6‐month field trials on turfgrass and Photinia supported agronomic feasibility.
