Examining the impact of time frame and perceived stress on the intention-planning-behavior link for physical activity among undergraduate students by Xu, Yue

“…Three studies were conducted to observe the intention-planning-behavior link within different time frames (1 week, 2 weeks, and daily) with moderate to vigorous exercise (MVPA) as the outcome variable. Findings indicated that intention, action planning, and coping planning had a significant effect on physical activity, with the mediating effect of planning varying between different time frames. …”

Organic and inorganic sublattice coupling in two-dimensional lead halide perovskites by Fu, Jianhui, Bian, Tieyuan, Yin, Jun, Feng, Minjun, Xu, Qiang, Wang, Yue, Sum, Tze Chien

“…Further evidence of the mechanical coupling between these two sublattices is revealed through the slow heat transfer process, where the resultant lattice tensile strain launches coherent longitudinal acoustic phonons. Our findings explicate the intimate electronic and mechanical couplings between the organic and inorganic sublattices, crucial for tailoring the optoelectronic properties of two-dimensional halide perovskites.…”

Reduction of superoxide radical intermediate by polydopamine for efficient hydrogen peroxide photosynthesis by Deng, Yihan, Liu, Wei, Xu, Run, Gao, Rong, Huang, Niu, Zheng, Yong, Huang, Yingping, Li, Hao, Kong, Xin Ying, Ye, Liqun

“…In this work, a strategy was developed to utilize protonated groups for the rapid depletion of converted ⋅O2 -, thereby the efficiency of photocatalytic synthesis of H2O2 from CN was successfully enhanced by 47-fold. The experimental findings demonstrated that polydopamine not only improved carrier separation efficiency, and more importantly, provided the adsorption reduction active site for ⋅O2 - for efficient H2O2 production. …”

Innovation-driven industrial green development : the moderating role of regional factors by Li, Wei, Wang, Jue, Chen, Rongxiao, Xi, Yongqin, Liu, Shi Qiang, Wu, Feimei, Masoud, Mahmoud, Wu, Xueping

“…The empirical results show that 1) innovation does promote IGD and is most effective in low-carbon production, followed by resource reduction, economic operation, and pollution abatement; 2) there is an inverted U-shaped relationship between the regional IGD level and the role of innovation in IGD; and 3) both government-scale and enterprise-scale contribute to the innovation-driven IGD. These findings provide new insights into the impact of innovation on IGD and may shed light on future decisions related to green development.…”

Revisiting metal electrodeposition in porous anodic alumina: toward tailored preparation of metal nanotube arrays by Zhang, Aiqin, Zhou, Jiajing, Das, Paramita, Xiao, Yuanhua, Gong, Feilong, Li, Feng, Wang, Lizhen, Zhang, Linsen, Wang, Lixia, Cao, Yang, Duan, Hongwei

“…The resultant metal nanotube arrays give rise to improved electro-catalytic activity to small molecule oxidation (such as ethanol and urea) due to the larger surface areas. These findings help to deeply understand the metal electrodeposition in AAO, extend the application of template-assisted electrodeposition and provide innovative ideas to prepare novel metal nanomaterials.…”

Ferroelastic strain induced antiferroelectric-ferroelectric phase transformation in multilayer thin film structures by Mirshekarloo, Meysam Sharifzadeh, Yao, Kui, Sritharan, Thirumany

“…The ferroelastic strain in the NMG film results in antiferroelectric (AFE) to ferroelectric (FE) phase transformation in the PLZST layer underneath. This finding indicates a different strategy to modulate the structure and function for multilayer thin films and to create unprecedented devices with ferroic thin films.…”

The regional dimension in the global competition for talent : lessons from framing the European Scientific Visa and Blue Card by Cerna, Lucie, Chou, Meng-Hsuan

“…Taking as our departure point Borrás and Radaelli's (2011) concept of the Lisbon Strategy as ‘governance architecture’, we apply the framing approach to show how the Scientific Visa and Blue Card framed labour migration differently: as initiatives for ‘mobile excellence’ and ‘border management’ respectively. Our findings reveal that they contributed to the Lisbon Strategy's evolution as a process of ‘conversion’ and point to the ‘value-added’ of regional co-operation as a ‘sense-making’ exercise.…”
