Redox-Triggered Interfacial Reconstruction as an AnalyticalTransduction Mechanism for Optical Detection of Arsine with LiquidCrystals

Abstract Arsine (AsH3) is widely used in semiconductor manufacturing yet poses severe health risks, motivating sensitive on-site monitoring for personnel safety. We report a liquid crystal (LC)-based optical sensor that translates arsine-triggered surface chemistry into an orient...

The heritage dilemma: balancing commercial viability with cultural integrity

Purpose This study aims to address a critical challenge in safeguarding intangible cultural heritage by examining how meaningful experiences stimulate word-of-mouth (WOM) storytelling in the context of Cantonese Opera. Moving beyond traditional outcome measures such as satisfacti...

Genomic Characterization of Colistin and Fluoroquinolone Resistance in Multidrug-Resistant Escherichia coli from Diseased Food-Producing Animals in Taiwan

Background: The global spread of antimicrobial resistance in Escherichia coli (E. coli) from food-producing animals is a critical concern within the One Health framework, particularly because of the potential transmission of clinically relevant resistance determinants across the...
