Cool Kitchen: Processing Starch and Eggshell Powder into Sustainable Coatings for Passive Daytime Cooling

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A food‐grade cooling composite made from starch and recycled eggshell powder offers a scalable, ultra‐low‐cost solution for passive daytime radiative cooling. Easily prepared using basic kitchen tools, this material empowers communities, even in areas with limited infrastructure, to stay cooler during worsening summer heat waves.

Solving Vertex Cover Problem Using DNA Tile Assembly Model

Journal of Applied Mathematics, 2013
DNA tile assembly models are a class of mathematically distributed and parallel biocomputing models in DNA tiles. In previous works, tile assembly models have been proved be Turing-universal; that is, the system can do what Turing machine can do. In this

Graphoidal graphs and graphoidal digraphs: a generalization of line graphs

AKCE International Journal of Graphs and Combinatorics, 2020
A graphoidal cover of a graph G is a collection ψ of paths (not necessarily open) in G such that each path in ψ has at least two vertices, every vertex of G is an internal vertex of at most one path in ψ, and every edge of G is in exactly one path in Let

Ce3+‐Activated Lithium Rare‐Earth Oxonitridolithosilicates: A New Class of LED Phosphors with Similarities to Garnets

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Garnet‐like luminescence upon Ce3+‐activation is found in the first six representatives Li9RESi4N4O8 (RE = Y, La, Gd, Dy, Yb, Lu) of the substance class of lithium rare‐earth oxonitridolithosilicates, which also show a novel structure type. High‐temperature solid‐state synthesis yielded crystalline samples for single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction‐based ...

Vorticity‐Facilitated Platelet Aggregation: a High Expansion‐Ratio Stenotic Microfluidic Platform Unravels the Role of Complex Flow Dynamics in Arterial Thrombosis

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study reveals how vorticity—a swirling flow pattern—enhances platelet aggregation and thrombus formation in high‐shear conditions. Using a custom microfluidic model, it is shows that vorticity promotes vWF–GPIbα interactions and calcium signaling, providing new insights into thrombosis mechanobiology and informing safer blood‐contacting medical ...

Approximating vertex cover in dense hypergraphs

Journal of Discrete Algorithms, 2012
We consider the minimum vertex cover problem in hypergraphs in which every hyperedge has size k (also known as minimum hitting set problem, or minimum set cover with element frequency k). Simple algorithms exist that provide k-approximations, and this is believed to be the best possible approximation achievable in polynomial time.

Microphysiological Systems for Comorbidity Studies: Chronic Kidney Disease and Osteoarthritis

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review highlights the potential of organ‐on‐a‐chip systems for studying comorbidities, using chronic kidney disease (CKD) and osteoarthritis (OA) as examples. It summarizes recent advances in kidney‐on‐a‐chip and joint‐on‐a‐chip models and discusses their current and potential application in investigating CKD, OA, and CKD‐OA comorbidity, aiming to

On estimation of extremal entries of the principal eigenvector of a graph

AKCE International Journal of Graphs and Combinatorics
Let [Formula: see text] be the principal eigenvector corresponding to the spectral radius [Formula: see text] of a graph G of order n. In this paper, we find some bounds on the ratio of the maximal component [Formula: see text] to the minimal component ...

Generalized vertex covering in interval graphs

Discrete Applied Mathematics, 1992
The following decision problem is treated in the paper: Given a graph \(G\) and two integers \(i\geq 2\), \(k\geq 1\), is it possible to find \(k\) vertices of the graph such that any complete subgraph of \(G\) with \(i\) vertices contains (at least) one of these distinguished vertices. This problem is NP-complete even for chordal graphs. In this paper

Decoding Hydrogel Porosity: Advancing the Structural Analysis of Hydrogels for Biomedical Applications

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Porosity governs transport mechanics in hydrogels, yet characterization in its native state remains challenging. This work harnesses particle tracking to uncover three‐dimensional pore geometric features in polyethylene glycol hydrogels. Measurements in the native state reveal pores characteristics are comparable to those obtained by cryogenic scanning
