The present paper explores psychological processes that underpin the success of community change in the context of urban regeneration schemes. We adopt a social identity approach to develop an understanding of the ways in which social identity dynamics may impact upon peoples' experiences of regeneration, and what influence these identity processes...

The current research focuses on nanoparticles’ ground-improvement potential using clayey soil mixed with varying amounts of the nanoparticles “Silicon Carbide”. With an increase in the amount of nanomaterial, a tendency of improvement has been recorded in liquid and plastic limits, as well as the plasticity index. The maximum reduction in liquid li...

Insights from complexity science can be applied to the analysis of social processes in heterogeneous societies. Many features that characterize and influence complex structures in nearly every domain of nature, technology, and society can be derived from simple modeling processes in physics and chemistry. If one applies these features to the struct...

A new era in 3D genome studies began with the development of the so-called 'C-methods', used for the analysis of spatial contacts between distant genomic elements. However, the idea that spatial genome organization, partitioning of the genome into structural/functional units, and the functional compartmentalization of the cell nucleus are important...

While several studies have found that lower levels of social integration may lead to a deterioration in the health status of migrants, previous research on the nexus between social integration and health has generally ignored the potential endogeneity of social integration. This paper examines the heterogeneous impact of social integration on the h...

In recent years, China has established many large water conservancy projects in the western mountainous areas. However, dam foundation excavation produces a huge amount of waste rock mixture. A soil-rock mixture with unique structural characteristics can easily cause geological disasters, such as collapse, landslide, and debris flow following an ea...

Cyclodextrin (CD)-based polyrotaxanes (PR) are widely used to construct high-mechanical-performance materials because of the high degree of conformational freedom. However, strong hydrogen bonds between CDs greatly limit the application of CD-PR in the preparation of ductile neutral hydrogels. In this work, spiropyrane (SP) into α-CD-based PR is in...

The impacts of biological degradation on surface area, surface energy, wettability, and cohesion of anatomically fractionated (i.e., leaf, stalk, and cob) and bulk corn stover are presented in this study. The physical, thermal and chemical properties of corn stover are critical material attributes that not only influence the mechanical processing a...
