Deriving the impact mechanism of urban green space environment on community social capital based on multi-source data integration: a case study of nanjing city, China by Feng Zhen, Mohan Liu, Runlin Yang

“…Green spaces have proved to have a more notable impact on social capital than other built environment factors. In light of this, the present study is based on the data of 1,282 residents’ questionnaire surveys conducted in Nanjing in 2022 and extracts spatial characteristic information of green space through multisource big data such as remote sensing data, street-view data, and points of interest, to investigate the influence mechanism of physical and perceived attributes of urban green space on community social capital. …”

‘Ship-in-a-Bottle’ Integration of pH-Sensitive 3D Proteinaceous Meshes into Microfluidic Channels by Daniela Serien, Koji Sugioka, Aiko Narazaki

“…Three-dimensional (3D) printing based on femtosecond laser direct writing (fs-LDW) is useful for creating 3D microstructures with high spatial resolution because the structures are printed in 3D space along a designated laser light path. High-performance biochips can be fabricated using the ‘ship-in-a-bottle’ integration technique, in which functional microcomponents or biomimetic structures are embedded inside closed microchannels using fs-LDW. …”

In-situ restructuring of Ni-based metal organic frameworks for photocatalytic CO2 hydrogenation by Abdelaziz Gouda, Karen Hannouche, Abhinav Mohan, Chengliang Mao, Ehsan Nikbin, Alexandre Carrière, Jessica Ye, Jane Y. Howe, Mohini Sain, Mohamad Hmadeh, Geoffrey A. Ozin

“…The niobium version exhibits the highest performance, with a CO2 to CH4 conversion rate in the order of 750–7500 µmol*gcatalyst −1*h−1 between 180 °C and 240 °C, achieving 97% selectivity under light irradiation and atmospheric pressure. The in-depth characterization of this framework before and after catalysis reveals the occurrence of an in-situ restructuring process, whereas active surface species are formed under photocatalytic conditions, thus providing comprehensive structure-performance correlations for the development of efficient CO2 conversion photocatalysts.…”

Optical Coherence Tomography by Pier Alberto Testoni

“…The physical principle of OCT is similar to that of B-mode ultrasound imaging, except that it uses infrared light waves rather than acoustic waves. The in vivo resolution is 10–25 times better (about 10 µm) than with high-frequency ultrasound imaging, but the depth of penetration is limited to 1–3 mm, depending on tissue structure, depth of focus of the probe used, and pressure applied to the tissue surface. …”
