Educational Gerontology

The term "educational gerontology" was first used in a 1970 doctoral program at the University of Michigan to denote those "activities and study that occur at the interface of education and gerontology" (Peterson 1980: 68).It achieved acade...

An Introduction to Gerontology

With the world's population getting increasingly older, there has never been a more pressing need for the study of old age and ageing. An Introduction to Gerontology provides a wide-ranging introduction to this important topic. By assuming ...

Principles of Geriatric Medicine and Gerontology.

This comprehensive text continues its tradition of presenting the latest in diagnosis and management of disorders affecting the elderly. Featuring experts from the fields of geriatric medicine and gerontology, this text provides a uniquely ...

Crystal structure of desvenlafaxinium 3,5-dinitrobenzoate 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid monohydrate, C30H35N5O15

Breaking of Thermopower–Conductivity Trade‐Off in LaTiO3 Film around Mott Insulator to Metal Transition

Abstract Introducing artificial strain in epitaxial thin films is an effective strategy to alter electronic structures of transition metal oxides (TMOs) and to induce novel phenomena and functionalities not realized in bulk crystals. This s...

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...

The Importance of Rare-Earth Additions in Zr-Based AB2 Metal Hydride Alloys

Effects of substitutions of rare earth (RE) elements (Y, La, Ce, and Nd) to the Zr-based AB2 multi-phase metal hydride (MH) alloys on the structure, gaseous phase hydrogen storage (H-storage), and electrochemical properties were studied and...

Comparative Study of Electrochemical Biosensors Based on Highly Efficient Mesoporous ZrO2‑Ag-G-SiO2 and In2O3‑G-SiO2 for Rapid Recognition of E. coli O157:H7

Recent progress in tailoring Ni-rich layered oxides via coating and doping strategies for enhanced lithium-ion battery performance

Nickel-rich layered oxide cathodes, typified by compositions such as LiNi₁₋ₓ₋ᵧCoₓMnᵧO₂ (NCM) have garnered significant attention as high-energy-density candidates for next-generation lithium-ion batteries. However, their widespread deployme...

Influence of chemical composition and discontinuities on energy transformation and rock mass behaviour: Insights into geological dynamic

Abstract In this study, efforts were made to incorporate the influence of discontinuities and failure modes of rock into the classification of rock masses. The past tectonic activities may create microfractures in the rock body therefore th...

Investigation of the Structural, Electrical, and Optical Properties of the Nano-Scale GZO Thin Films on Glass and Flexible Polyimide Substrates

In this study, Ga2O3-doped ZnO (GZO) thin films were deposited on glass and flexible polyimide (PI) substrates at room temperature (300 K), 373 K, and 473 K by the radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering method. After finding the depositi...

Effect of Corrosion Product Films Induced by Tensile Stress on P110 Casing Steels Induced in CO2 Environment

Corrosion product films were formed on P110 casing steels by high-temperature and high-pressure autoclave in a CO2 environment induced by tensile stress. The effects of applied tensile stress on the protection characteristics and electroche...

Effect of Prior Rolling on Microstructures and Property of Diffusion-Bonded Mg/Al Alloy

In this study, magnesium alloy AZ91, which was cast by double roll casting system, was rolled by a rolling mill. Then, rolled magnesium alloy and magnesium alloy without being rolled were, respectively, welded with aluminum alloy 6061 by di...

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...

Properties of aniline or O-phenylenediamine/YBCO hybrid materials
