Thresholds: The metaphorical foundations of powerful knowledge
The Curriculum Journal, EarlyView.Abstract This paper advances a theoretical account of threshold concepts as metaphorical‐relational structures that reorganise meaning across contexts. Building on conceptual metaphor theory, we propose that threshold concepts can be understood as sites of schema‐level reorganisation: deep, embodied patterns of relational logic that scaffold abstract ...

EcoEnergy, EarlyView.This review systematically examines how different transition metal compounds—such as binary and multinary metal oxides, halides, sulfides, and salts—exhibit thermochromism based on the d‐electron configurations of their transition metal cations. It focuses on three main mechanisms of thermochromism: phase transition, charge transfer, and bandgap change.

Ni–Zn–Ga Alloy for Weak Sunlight‐Driven Methanol Production From CO2 and H2O at Ambient Pressure
EcoEnergy, EarlyView.The Ni–Zn–Ga ternary alloy‐assisted photothermal CO2 hydrogenation system coupled with photovoltaic water splitting could convert CO2 and H2O into methanol with a production rate of 709 μmol g−1 h−1 under natural sunlight irradiation. ABSTRACT The sunlight‐driven artificial photosynthesis that converts CO2 and H2O into methanol is a promising approach ...

The Colour Characteristics of Wool Dyed with Plants of Latvia
Materials Science. Textile and Clothing Technology, 2014 Dyeing with natural dyes from plant and other organic sources is known since the prehistoric times. In Latvia, natural dyes have been used for the colouring of natural fibres, such as flax, wool, cotton, silk and leather. Plants for the dyeing were collected in autumn in Latvia, used fresh or dried.

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.TiO2/chlorophyll bio‐hybrid nanofluid achieved the highest PVT performance, increasing thermal efficiency to 38.74% and overall efficiency to 51.35%, compared with 35.96% and 48.45% for Al2O3/water and 27.77% and 40.18% for water. The results demonstrate the potential of bio‐hybrid nanofluids for high‐efficiency solar thermal energy conversion ...
