Engineering the pore environment of antiparallel stacked covalent organic frameworks for capture of iodine pollutants

Description: The authors of this article assert that radioiodine capture from nuclear fuel waste and contaminated water sources is of enormous environmental importance, but remains technically challenging. They further demonstrate robust covalent organic frameworks with antiparallel stacked structures, excellent radiation resistance, and high binding affinities toward I2, CH3I, and I3 under various conditions.

Exploring the impact of punishments on employee effort and performance in the workplace: Insights from England's premier league

Description: The authors assert that despite the prevalence of punishment as a method of enforcing organizational policies, management literature provides little guidance on the impact of punishment on individuals' work performance. A sample of 412 professional soccer players in England's Premier League was utilized to collect unobtrusive, longitudinal data to better understand how individuals react to punishments in their workplace.

Lateral Beam Shifts and Depolarization Upon Oblique Reflection from Dielectric Mirrors

Description: This article asserts that dielectric mirrors comprising thin-film multilayers are widely used in optical experiments because they can achieve substantially higher reflectance compared to metal mirrors. Here, potential problems are investigated that can arise when dielectric mirrors are used at oblique incidence, in particular for focused beams. This paper brings awareness of the tradeoffs between dielectric mirrors and front-surface metal mirrors in certain optics experiments, and it is suggest… more

Revisiting decade-old questions in proanthocyanidin biosynthesis: current understanding and new challenges

Description: This article asserts that proanthocyanidins (PAs), one of the most abundant natural polymers found in plants, are gaining increasing attention because of their beneficial effects for agriculture and human health. Scientists raised some compelling questions regarding PA biosynthesis about two decades ago in the hope that addressing these questions would lead to an enhanced understanding of PA biosynthesis in plants and the author of this article seeks to revisit those questions.

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy as a useful tool to study surfaces and model systems for heterogeneous catalysts: A review and perspective

Description: After a brief recapitulation of the historic development of photoelectron spectroscopy, the authors review the attempts to interpret, in particular, x-ray photoelectron spectra to extract information on electronic structure and constitution, i.e. stoichiometry of materials systems. The authors focus on materials systems, specifically in the area of heterogeneous catalysis, and modelling their complexity by designing single crystal-based model systems with well-defined structures.

Experimental study on the thermal protection enhancement of novel phase change material integrated structural firefighting gloves under high-heat exposures

Description: This article states that phase change material (PCM) has been widely studied for efficient thermal management. The authors of this article present the first holistic experimental research on the temperature control performance of PCM-integrated firefighters' gloves. The results showed that the thermal protection time could be extended by 2-5 times in the direct contact to hot object tests and around 1.5 times under the radiant/convective heat source tests when embedding a 1-mm-thick PCM layer i… more

Complexity synchronization in emergent intelligence

Description: The authors of this article use a simple multi-agent-based-model (MABM) of a social network, implementing selfish algorithm agents, to create an adaptive environment and show, using a modified diffusion entropy analysis (DEA), that the mutual-adaptive interaction between the parts of such a network manifests complexity synchronization. The authors find the same kind of complexity synchronization in the emergent intelligence of groups formed in a self-organized social interaction without macrosc… more

Discovering invariant spatial features in electron energy loss spectroscopy images on the mesoscopic and atomic levels

Description: Here, the authors develop a machine learning-based approach and workflows for the analysis of spatial structures in 3D EELS data sets using a combination of dimensionality reduction and multichannel rotationally invariant variational autoencoders. This approach is illustrated for the analysis of both the plasmonic phenomena in a system of nanowires and in the core excitations in functional oxides using low loss and core-loss EELS, respectively. The code developed in this manuscript is open sour… more
