Comparative Gas-Sensing Studies of EPAA with Aniline Tetramer in the Main/Side Chain and Corresponding Densely/Porous Electro-Spun Films

Rapid low-ppm detection of toxic and corrosive hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is essential to protect workers and the public. This research presents the synthesis and gas-sensing application of two electroactive poly(amic acid)s (EPAAs): a linear-type (L-EPAA) and a branched-type (B-EPAA...

The relationship between land consolidation and neighboring housing prices – application of quantile regression

CO‐Tolerant Ethylene Glycol Oxidation on p–d Hybridized Platinum Ditelluride for Seawater Artificial Leaves

ABSTRACT Seawater‐based artificial leaves are fundamentally constrained by anodic surface poisoning and insufficient photovoltage for bias‐free reaction under complex electrolytes. Here we report a pH‐gradient photoelectrochemical–electrochemical (PEC–EC) system that couples phot...

Reimagining the past: Historical imagination in theory and practice

Historical imagination is not merely an auxiliary tool in historical understanding but its constitutive condition—a claim articulated consistently across Collingwood’s re-enactment, Dilthey’s Verstehen, and Gadamer’s fusion of horizons, and supported by cognitive neuroscience. Ye...

Determinants of secondhand clothing consumption in Hong Kong: An extended Knowledge-Attitude-Practice (KAP) model

As secondhand clothing gains popularity, its environmental and sustainable consumption implications have attracted growing attention. Various behavioral models have been used to explain and predict secondhand clothing purchases. However, many studies overlook contextual factors t...

Taiwan area heavy rain observation and prediction experiment (TAHOPE): overview and some scientific results

Abstract “Taiwan Area Heavy rain Observation and Prediction Experiment” (TAHOPE) was originally planned to be conducted from August 2019 to July 2022 to study Mei-Yu fronts, mesoscale convective systems (MCSs), landfalling typhoons and afternoon thunderstorms near Taiwan. The Pre...

Total Syntheses and Structural Reassignment of Ugonin T and Neougonin B: Anti-inflammatory Flavonoids Related to Helminthostachys zeylanica

Abstract This study reports the first total syntheses of the naturally occurring flavonoids ugonin C (1), ugonin F (2), and, based on the originally proposed structures, compounds 3 and 4 (corresponding to the structures first assigned to ugonin T and neougonin B, respectively),...

When Do Environmental Initiatives Pay Off? The Role of Long‐Term Orientation in Supply Chain Efficiency

ABSTRACT This study examines how environmental initiatives undertaken by supply chain partners influence multidimensional efficiency and whether national long‐term orientation moderates these relationships. Using panel data from 30 counterparts of Merck & Co. Inc. (180 firm–year...

Dietary Inflammatory Index, Physical Activity, and Inflammation-Related Health Outcomes: A Narrative Review and Inflammatory Resilience Framework

How physical activity may modify the health consequences of a pro-inflammatory diet remains an important but unresolved question. This hypothesis-generating narrative review examines this question by integrating evidence on dietary inflammatory potential, physical activity, physi...
