Investigating the role of self-sacrificing prosociality in intragroup and intergroup contexts by Katna, Dashalini P.

“…Parochial cooperation theories assume that strongly self-sacrificing members primarily desire and seek to achieve ingroup-favouring outcomes, and consequently become prepared to bear extreme costs to themselves. This altruism to help, however, does not always extend into intergroup contexts. …”

Fabrication and characterization of graphene and carbon nanotube reinforced bioceramic nanocomposites by Hu, Huanlong

“…Bioceramics play an important role in the replacement and regeneration of human tissues, but their intrinsic brittleness and low wear resistance make the monolithic bioceramics still problematic for load-bearing applications. The two dimensional (2D) graphene and one dimensional (1D) carbon nanotube (CNT), as the secondary strong and tough biocompatible nanofillers, are popular nanocarbons to reinforce bioceramics. …”
