Tandem Ru–Tm Sites on MoS 2 Tune Entropy–Enthalpy Tradeoff for Enhanced Alkaline Hydrogen Evolution
ABSTRACT Rare earth (RE) regulation has emerged as an effective strategy for improving hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), but RE kinetic behaviors are widely discussed from an adsorption energy perspective, with neglectful apparent activation energy ( E a ) and entropy (Δ ‡ S ) c...

Women Workers and the International Workingmen’s Association: The Belgian Case
Abstract Several historians have already examined the presence and role of women in the sections of the International Workingmen’s Association (IWMA) in Belgium, as well as in the beginnings of the first trade union organizations. All agree that the subject is extremely complex t...

The Disaster of Arborization and What Wildfires Reveal in Central Chile
ABSTRACT In the summer of 2017, the largest wildfires ever recorded in central Chile swept through and devastated the small logging town of Santa Olga. Within hours, decades of work by the timber industry and its laborers were wiped out, leaving no trace of what had been built. A...

Performance Analysis of Fin Geometry in Battery Thermal Management System
Effective thermal management is a critical prerequisite for ensuring the safety, performance, and operational longevity of lithium-ion batteries deployed in electric vehicles (EVs). This paper presents a computational investigation into the passive cooling of an 18650 cylindrical...

Targeting Multidrug-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa from Companion Animals Using Bacteriophages
Antimicrobial resistance poses a major challenge to veterinary and human medicine, particularly in the context of difficult-to-treat infections caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a WHO priority pathogen, is known for its resistance profile and a...
