Corrigendum to “Protective coatings for complex organic flexible materials I: characterization and tribological performance of TiO2 and ZnO films deposited by magnetron sputtering on cork” [Applied Surface Science Advances 27 (2025) 100753]

Soft x-ray high-harmonic generation in an anti-resonant hollow core fiber driven by a 3 μm ultrafast laser

High-harmonic upconversion driven by a mid-infrared femtosecond laser can generate coherent soft x-ray beams in a tabletop-scale setup. Here, we report on a compact ytterbium-pumped optical parametric chirped pulse amplifier (OPCPA) laser s...

Study of the growth mechanism of a self-assembled and ordered multi-dimensional heterojunction at atomic resolution

Abstract Multi-dimensional heterojunction materials have attracted much attention due to their intriguing properties, such as high efficiency, wide band gap regulation, low dimensional limitation, versatility and scalability. To further imp...

Decellularized Placental Sponge: A Platform for Coculture of Mesenchymal Stem Cells/Macrophages to Assess an M2 Phenotype and Osteogenic Differentiation In Vitro and In Vivo

Rhizospheric Microbes and Nanoparticles Synergize to Enhance Plant Immune Responses

ABSTRACT Sustainable crop production increasingly requires innovative strategies that can enhance plant resilience while reducing dependence on synthetic agrochemicals. Recent advances in nanotechnology and rhizosphere microbiome research h...

Evaluation of drug delivery performance of curcumin by chitosan synthesized from the skin of the shrimp of the Gulf of Gorgan

Chitosan nanoparticles have emerged as promising carriers for curcumin delivery due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and mucoadhesive properties. This study investigates the development and characterization of chitosan nanoparti...

Ultrasound-Sensitive Liposomes for Triggered Macromolecular Drug Delivery: Formulation and In Vitro Characterization

Mistletoe lectin-1 (ML1) is a nature-derived macromolecular cytotoxin that potently induces apoptosis in target cells. Non-specific cytotoxicity to normal cells is one of the major risks in its clinical application, and we therefore propose...

Proceedings of APCE-CECE-ITP-IUPAC 2022

In a demonstration of modern analytical chemistry at its best, the International Interdisciplinary Conference of Chemical Analysis, APCE-CECE-ITP-IUPAC 2022 was held after two years of COVID-19-related delays in Siem Reap, Cambodia. The qua...

Nanotechnology for a Sustainable Future: Addressing Global Challenges with the International Network4Sustainable Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology has important roles to play in international efforts in sustainability. We discuss how current and future capabilities in nanotechnology align with and support the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. We argue that,...

Nanotechnology and Cancer

The biological picture of cancer is rapidly advancing from models built from phenomenological descriptions to network models derived from systems biology, which can capture the evolving pathophysiology of the disease at the molecular level....

Patrimonio architettonico monumentale d’Abruzzo post sisma del 2009 e prevenzione

A seguito del sisma aquilano del 6 aprile 2009, la comunità scientifica e professionale ha fortemente rivolto il suo interesse alla comprensione della genesi dei dissesti e alle metodologie di restauro del patrimonio storico architettonico ...

New femoral evidence from the Afar reveal the early evolution of habitual squatting behaviors in the genus Theropithecus

IntroductionThe femoral anatomy of fossil Theropithecus is poorly known, although it provides critical data for inferring squatting behaviors, a characteristic trait of extant Theropithecus gelada.MethodsHere, we describe and provide functi...

The Craft of Archaeology

The idea of archaeology as craft challenges the separation of reasoning and execution that characterizes the field today. The Arts and Crafts Movement of the late nineteenth century established craftwork as an aesthetic of opposition. We es...

Models in Archaeology

This major study reflects the increasing significance of careful model formation and testing in those academic subjects that are struggling from intuitive and aesthetic obscurantism toward a more disciplined and integrated approach to their...

Archaeology

This bestselling book has firmly established itself as the most accessible guide to archaeology available. It features: * an explanation to the discovery and excavation of sites * a helpful outline of the major dating methods * clear explan...

What is community archaeology?

Community archaeology, understood as a distinctive set of practices within the wider discipline, is a relatively new development. Its most important distinguishing characteristic is the relinquishing of at least partial control of a project...

Understanding the Archaeological Record

This book explores the diverse understandings of the archaeological record in both historical and contemporary perspective, while also serving as a guide to reassessing current views. Gavin Lucas argues that archaeological theory has become...

Archaeology and Migration

A clear deficit in the theoretical and methodological development of archaeological research exists with regard to migration; attributing archaeological distribution patterns to migration as opposed to diffusion or trade is still a major pr...
