Regimental agents as Language Intermediaries in the Eighteenth-Century Habsburg Realms by Pataki, K

“…Nevertheless, his perceptivity to language preferences was potentially motivated not purely by business interests, but by his confessional convictions, too. Isenflamm was part of a network of Hallean Pietists and his efforts to communicate with his business partners in their own languages could also be inspired by Hallean missions and translation projects.…”

Supporting organizational professional culture with collaborative technology during design phase in industrialized project delivery in Malaysia by R., Ibrahim, Abdul Ghafar, M.

“…The results of triadic rework iterations are recommended for the implementation in the design of multidisciplinary design studio education program as part of the future Malaysian AEC transdisciplinary training for smart cities deployment. …”

High selective hydrocarbon and hydrogen products from catalytic pyrolysis of rice husk: Role of the ordered mesoporous silica derived from rice husk ash for Ni-nanocatalyst perform... by Pham, Le Kim Hoang, Alsaiari, Mabkhoot, Thao, Bui T. Thu, Hieu, Nguyen Huu, Phuc Hoang Duy, Nguyen, Vo, Dai-Viet N., Witoon, Thongthai, Nguyen, Van Cuong, Kongparakul, Suwadee, Samart, Chanatip, Trinh, Thanh H., Al-Gheethi, Adel

“…This study successfully synthesized ordered mesoporous silica using a sodium silicate solution derived from high-purity silica extracted from rice husk (98.09%), aiming to catalyst support for integrating fast catalytic upgrading of rice husk. The ordered mesoporous silica, including MCM-41 and KIT-6, were synthesized by co-assembly with additional surfactants, consisting of Cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and Pluronic P123, respectively. …”

100 THz optical switching with plasmonic metamaterial by Venkatram, Nalla, Stefano, Vezzol, João, Valente, Sun, Handong, Nikolay, Zheludev

“…In coherent perfect absorption, the interference of two counter-propagating coherent beams on a highly absorbing material of sub- wavelength thickness can either lead to nearly total transmission or to nearly total absorption of the incident light, depending on their mutual intensity and phase.1 A device based on coherent absorption has the advantage of being compact, fast, and intrinsically low power while demonstrating large modulations of light. …”
