Character in Young Adult fiction: The example of Lyra in Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials (1995-2000) and The Book of Dust (2017- ) by Virginie DOUGLAS

“…Even if His Dark Materials identified puberty as a turning-point in the young protagonists’ process of growing up and construction of identity, it is significant that Pullman, who had already added a small companion book—entitled Lyra’s Oxford—to the trilogy’s literary universe, is still trying to explore the multiple dimensions of Lyra’s constantly shifting character: while book 1 of The Book of Dust, Pullman’s new trilogy, La Belle Sauvage (2017), is a prequel to His Dark Materials, which focuses on Lyra as a baby—before the action in Northern Lights takes place—, book 2, The Secret Commonwealth (2019), takes a closer look at Lyra once she has become a young woman, after her meeting with Will in His Dark Materials.…”

Protocol for constructing asymmetric triple-atoms supported on nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes via atomic layer deposition by Jingyan Zhang, Zhongxin Song, Xiaozhang Yao, Yi Guan, Ziwei Huo, Ning Chen, Lei Zhang, Xueliang Sun

“…We describe steps for synthesizing the NCNT substrate, deposition of Pt-Ru-Co TAs, and characterizing the materials. We then detail procedures for preparing the electrolyte solution and working electrode followed by electrochemistry measurements for hydrogen evolution and hydrogen oxidative reactions with a typical three-electrode system.For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Zhang et al.1 : Publisher’s note: Undertaking any experimental protocol requires adherence to local institutional guidelines for laboratory safety and ethics.…”
