Highly conductive graphene@phosphotungstic acid nanocomposite for sensitive electrochemical detection of acetaminophen based on analysis induction strategy in foods by Ruiyu He, Jingjie Zhang, Shixin Li, Yuzhen Yang, Yaru Xu, Zhixiang Xu, Yufeng Sun

“…The calculated effective active area of GR@PWA/GCE was 2.22 times than that of bare glassy carbon electrode. Under the optimal conditions, a good linear relationship with AP concentration ranging from 1 μM to 100 μM and a lower limit of detection (0.305 μM) were obtained. …”

The Effects of Precrack Angle on the Strength and Failure Characteristics of Sandstone under Uniaxial Compression by Shuai Zhang, Jinhai Xu, Liang Chen, Hideki Shimada, Mingwei Zhang, Haiyang He

“…For the latter case, the strength experiences a trend of increasing-maintaining trend as the crack angle α gets closer to the forcing direction, and the elastic moduli are barely affected. For the specimens containing a single precrack, their crack numbers increased approximately in a one-step or two-step stair pattern with increasing axial strain; whereas for the specimens containing three cracks, their crack numbers all showed a multistep growth trend. …”

Impact of Mesoscale Motions on Monin-Obukhov Similarity and Surface Energy Balance over a Homogeneous Surface by Yang Guo, Hongchao Zuo

“…In order to understand the effect of mesoscale motions on turbulent fluxes more clearly, this study analyzes the impact of mesoscale motions on MOST and surface energy balance using the multiresolution decomposition method and the observational data over a homogeneous bare soil surface. Two conclusions are obtained: (1) When mesoscale motions are excluded, the scatter of similarity relations is evidently reduced; the observed values of the dimensionless velocity gradient and dimensionless temperature gradient in stable conditions become less than the values estimated using the universal functions, and the flux-variance relationship for temperature clearly deviates from the −1/3 power law. (2) When mesoscale motions are excluded, the number of energy balance closure outliers at night is dramatically reduced, and the energy balance ratio (EBR) is increased. …”

Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting: The Secret World of Women as Seen by Men by Adriana Kaplan, Babucarr Cham, Lamin A. Njie, Ana Seixas, Sandra Blanco, Mireia Utzet

“…Efforts aimed at the abandonment of Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) in the communities where it is deeply rooted have extensively considered and addressed women’s perceptions on the issue, leaving those of men barely acknowledged. Although the practice is generally confined to the secret world of women, it does not mean that men cannot be influential. …”
