Facile Preparation and Photoinduced Superhydrophilicity of Highly Ordered Sodium-Free Titanate Nanotube Films by Electrophoretic Deposition by Minghua Zhou, Huogen Yu

“…Compared with the as-prepared titanate nanotube film, the calcined titanate nanotube film (300–600°C) exhibits attractive photoinduced superhydrophilicity under UV-light irradiation. In particular, 500°C-calcined films show the best photoinduced superhydrophilicity, probably due to synergetic effects of enhanced crystallization, surface roughness, and ordered structures of the films.…”

Le projet de paysage comme projet politique by Grégory Epaud

“…This article seeks to provide a critical and reflexive account of an approach founded on a political relationship to the landscape project leading to a study of the possible interactions between scientific knowledge, the knowledge of inhabitants, and the landscape project. It sheds light on an experiment in the creation of an inhabitant landscape cooperative (in French, Coopérative habitante de paysage). …”

Observation and Numerical Simulation of Terrain-Induced Windshear at the Hong Kong International Airport in a Planetary Boundary Layer without Temperature Inversions by P. W. Chan, K. K. Hon

“…Such windshear occurring in a planetary boundary layer without temperature inversions is studied in this paper by using the data from the Terminal Doppler Weather Radar and Light Detection and Ranging systems. A high resolution numerical model, called aviation model (AVM), is also employed to find out its capability to forecast the occurrence of such windshear. …”

Fortis-lenis vs voiced-voiceless plosives in Welsh by Sabine Asmus, Sylwester Jaworski, Michał Baran

“… This paper questions the voiceless-voiced distinction of Welsh consonants and claims that the fortis-lenis distinction is more appropriate for the description of the language. In light of research results of theoretical as well as experimental investigations into Welsh, e.g. the vowel-coda length dependence discovered by Asmus and Grawunder (2017), advocated further research into that matter, seeing also that the fortis-lenis distinction establishes a firm link to focal properties of Welsh, such as morpheme-initial consonant mutations (mICM). …”
