Water‐binding‐mediated gelation/crystallization and thermosensitive superchirality by Xing, Pengyao, Li, Yongxin, Wang, Yang, Li, Pei-Zhou, Chen, Hongzhong, Phua, Fiona Soo Zeng, Zhao, Yanli

“…Ordered water molecules entrapped in self‐assembly arrays revealed by crystal structures behave as hydrogen‐bonding linkers to facilitate three‐dimensional growth into crystals rather than one‐dimensional gel nanofibers. …”

Structural behaviour of 2D post-tensioned precast beam-column sub-assemblages subjected to column loss scenario by Tran, Manh Ha, Tan, Kang Hai

“…The specimen with unbonded PT could provide greater residual capacity than bonded PT, but the former was severely damaged by fracture of normal reinforcement and crushing of concrete rather than fracture of the tendon. …”

Social capital of NGO food support providers for the homeless in Kuala Lumpur by Oria, Prescious Ann Santos

“…NGOs also work more individually rather than working collaboratively with other NGOs working with the homeless but it has to be highlighted that NGOs work together in a certain extent though collaboration is not a usual action. …”

Reversible-hydrogen-transfer-mediated anomerization of azaheterocyclyl 2-deoxy-C-glycosides and mechanistic studies by Mu, Qiu-Qi, Guo, Aoxin, Cai, Xin, Qin, Yang-Yang, Fang, Xin-Yu, Peng, Li-Cong, Feng, Chao, Xu, Li-Wen, Xiao, Xiong, Liu, Xue-Wei

“…The anomerization reaction plausibly proceeds through the pathway involving the activation of the C(sp3)-H bond mediated by the iridium catalyst and reversible hydrogen transfer, rather than the classical anomerization mechanisms involving the endocyclic cleavage of the C1-O5 bond or exocyclic cleavage of the glycosidic bond.…”

Iridium Oxide Coordinatively Unsaturated Active Sites Govern the Electrocatalytic Oxidation of Water by Velasco Vélez, Juan Jesús, Bernsmeier, Denis, Mom, Rik V., Zeller, Patrick, Shao‐Horn, Yang, Roldan Cuenya, Beatriz, Knop‐Gericke, Axel, Schlögl, Robert, Jones, Travis E.

“…Importantly, it is shown that the peroxo species do not accumulate under reaction conditions. Rather, the formation of µ<jats:sub>1</jats:sub>‐O species, which are active in O−O bond formation during the OER, is the most oxidized oxygen species observed, which is consistent with an O−O rate‐limiting step. …”

Parametric optimisation of heat treated recycling aluminium (AA6061) by response surface methodology by Yusuf, N. K., Ahmad, A., Lajis, M. A., Shamsudin, S., Zhong, Zhao Wei

“…Yet, the extrusion temperatures still act to assist the bonding activities via interparticle diffusion transport matter.…”

Shear behavior of greenschist along foliation plane considering anisotropy by Zhang, Qingzhao, Wu, Chuangzhou, Jang, Bo-An, Fei, Xunchang

“…The intact greenschist samples show significantly higher shear strength compared to the sheared samples due to the bonding strength along foliation plane. The shear behavior of greenschist along foliation plane is anisotropic due to the 3D roughness of foliation plane, and the anisotropic behavior diminishes as the normal stress increases. …”

Dynamic fracture mechanics of FRP-concrete interface by Li, Gen

“…Although the quasi-static shear bond-slip response has already been extensively investigated to aid the FRP strengthening design, studies on their dynamic behaviour are rather limited, especially those under high loading rates. …”

A type of novel energy harvesting device by Deng, J

“…The main drawback of such system is that it has a rather narrow bandwidth, meaning that the device can only effectively harvest vibration energy when the resonance frequency of the system coincides with the excitation frequency. …”

New Purification Strategies and Monomer Platforms for Ruthenium-Initiated Living Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymerization by Kilgallon, Landon J.

“…Covalent capture purification—a type of catch-and-release purification—purifies molecules by selectively capturing them (via a covalent bond) onto a solid support, washing away impurities, and cleaving the product from the support for recovery. …”

Evolutionary explanations and the debunking of moral beliefs by Cofnas, N

“…I argue that our innate moral faculty is likely not the product of natural selection, but rather social selection. Social selection is a kind of gene–culture coevolution driven by the enforcement of collectively agreed-upon rules. …”
