Flexibility in adsorption-based direct air capture: drivers, mechanisms, and research needs

Direct Air Capture (DAC) is key for net-zero goals, but its high energy demand and costs prevent large-scale deployment. Leveraging time-varying external drivers — renewables availability, electricity prices, ambient conditions, and downstream CO 2 demand — offers a promising pat...

Stable Magnetic Nanodomains Engineered Via Ga + ‐ion Irradiation For Deterministic Sequential Switching

ABSTRACT Precise control of magnetic domain formation at the nanoscale remains constrained by stochastic defect‐mediated and unstable pinning, limiting scalability and reproducibility in spintronic architectures. Here, we demonstrate that spatially engineered anisotropy gradients...

Comparing Airbnb hosts’ and guests’ attitudes toward smart technology to support authenticity experiences

Purpose This study aims to examine how smart technology in peer-to-peer (P2P) accommodation may support, disrupt or reconfigure authenticity-related experiences. Focusing on Airbnb stays as a tension-laden hospitality context, it investigates how hosts’ intentions and guest-side...

Empirical Validation of the LIFE Framework: Predicting Tokamak Plasma Disruptions via Unified Force Density Equilibrium and Magnetic Divergence

Achieving stable magnetic confinement in nuclear fusion plasmas remains a profound theoretical and engineering challenge. While standard Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) models treat mechanical fluid dynamics and electrodynamics as coupled but distinct systems, this paper introduces a u...

Comprehensive In Vitro Profiling Demonstrates Successful Immune Evasion of Bioengineered Immune‐Shielded Heart Valves

Living donor valves for valve replacement in pediatric patients, come with the risk of immune rejection of the implanted tissue. To address this, and increase the options for living implants in pediatric patients, we previously developed a lentiviral immune-shielding strategy tha...

Space-Filling Input Design for Nonlinear System Identification: A Reinforcement Learning Approach

Classical input design minimises the covariance of the estimated model parameters. For nonlinear black-box models, however, the dominant error is the bias induced by the model structure over the region of interest, which motivates space-filling strategies seeking to cover the sys...

Coupled Magnetic and Electric Divergence Precursors in Tokamak Disruptions: Empirical Validation of Relativistic Frame Transformations and Force Density Equilibrium

Achieving stable magnetic confinement in thermonuclear fusion plasmas remains a major physics and engineering challenge. While classical Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) models treat fluid motion and electrodynamics as decoupled systems enforcing strict solenoidality (divergence of B =...

Making sustainability possible and probable: a self-training intervention for employees

Purpose This study evaluates the effectiveness of a self-training intervention aimed at proactively implementing sustainability at work. Drawing on Job Demands-Resources Theory and Nudge Theory, we propose that employees who engage in job crafting, network crafting, and self-nudg...

A PTAS for triangle-free 2-matching

Abstract In the Triangle-Free (Simple) 2-Matching problem we are given an undirected graph $$G=(V,E)$$ G = ( V , E ) . Our goal is to compute a maximum-cardinality $$M\subseteq E$$ M ⊆ E satisfying the following properties: (1) at most two edges of M are incident on each node (i....

Low Postoperative Cholesterol Level Is Associated with Adverse Outcomes After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

Low cholesterol levels have been linked to severe illness, including sepsis. This study evaluated whether early postoperative cholesterol levels are associated with adverse outcomes in patients after elective Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting with extracorporeal circulation. This r...

Beyond a Technocentric Transition: A Diverse Economies Perspective for Social Justice in Circular Economy Business Models

ABSTRACT The circular economy, dominated by capitalocentric, technocentric, and eco‐modernist discourses, risks perpetuating systemic injustice because of its limited consideration of the social and of what is possible. In this article, we examine how social justice can be embedd...

Calibration of Event-Based Camera for High-Speed Observations of Lightning and Transient Luminous Events

Event-based vision sensors (EVSs) offer an innovative approach to optical sensing by responding solely to changes in photon flux with asynchronous pixels. This enables high-speed imaging with minimal data throughput and a large dynamical range > 120 dB. Despite their growing use...

Quantified-self technology for enhancing social connectedness: a systematic review

Social connectedness plays a critical role in human health and well-being, yet increasing physical separation has contributed to rising social isolation and loneliness. Quantified Self (QS) technologies enable the continuous sharing of personal data and offer new opportunities to...

Graphene-based Photodetector with Engineered Hot-Carrier Cooling Dynamics

Abstract Graphene has emerged as a promising material for integration into silicon photonics, owing to its ultrafast and broadband photoresponse without the need for an external bias voltage. This photoresponse relies on the photo-thermoelectric effect created by hot carriers. A...

Fitting a Closed Curve to Unordered Planar Points

Fitting smooth closed curves to unordered planar point clouds arises in various applications, including shape reconstruction, image processing, geometric modelling, and computational geometry. We propose a numerical framework for this problem under an approximate star-shaped assu...

Exploring road users’ perceptions of fatbikes and riders’ behaviours in the Netherlands: Implications for public acceptability

Fatbikes, electric fat-tire bicycles, are increasingly visible in the Netherlands. Although fatbikes are classified within the broader electric bicycle (e-bike) category, fatbikes may be perceived as a distinct and riskier mobility mode than conventional e-bikes. As this percepti...

Effects of romosozumab on the peripheral and axial skeleton in postmenopausal women at high fracture risk: real-world evidence from DXA and HR-pQCT data

Evidence on the effects of romosozumab mainly concerns axial aBMD. In 28 postmenopausal women, we found that spine and hip aBMD (DXA) significantly increased, while volumetric BMD, microarchitecture, and strength at the radius and tibia (HR-pQCT) remained unchanged or deteriorate...
