Toward Efficient Small Organic Molecule Electrooxidation: Catalyst Interface Engineering, Peiyun Zhou, Ligang Feng

Online First

Electrooxidation of small organic molecules (e.g., methanol, urea, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural) represents a promising strategy to replace the kinetically sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in water electrolysis, thereby reducing hydrogen production energy consumption and simultaneously achieving co-production of value-added chemicals or degradation of environmental pollutants. However, single-component catalysts often struggle to achieve efficient coupling between organic molecules and OER-derived oxygen species. This review addresses this challenge by highlighting the pivotal role of catalyst interface engineering (including reconstruction), drawing on our series of studies and relevant important reports. By constructing heterointerfaces, electronic structures can be modulated and intermediate adsorption optimized, thereby enhancing the …

Regulating Religious Coexistence : The Intricacies Of Interfaith Cooperation In Coastal Kenya, Erik Meinema

Ohio University Press Open Access Books

Regulating Religious Coexistence offers a compelling ethnographic analysis of how Muslims, Christians, and practitioners of indigenous African religions negotiate coexistence in Kenya’s coastal region. The book conceptualizes religious diversity as a dynamic field shaped by multiple partly intersecting and partly conflicting models of interaction. These include the political secularism promoted by the Kenyan state and civil society organizations focused on interfaith harmony, forms of competition between religious groups, and pluralistic practices in which individuals draw on multiple traditions to meet spiritual needs.

Through a close examination of civil society initiatives funded by Western donors to foster peacebuilding and to counter …

Reframing Trauma Bonding: Understanding Relationship-Based Violence Through A Public Health Lens, Ziwei Qi, Lori E. Kniffin

Times Talk Archive & ADP Projects

Rather than describing shared hardship, trauma bonding reflects a psychological attachment formed through cycles of abuse and intermittent reinforcement, which can make leaving harmful relationships complex and, at times, dangerous. Drawing on this framework, the session will connect trauma bonding to public health approaches that emphasize prevention, early intervention, and structural conditions. It will also integrate insights from the Facing Project, highlighting how survivor storytelling can deepen understanding of lived experiences, reduce stigma, and inform community-based responses.

Marsh, Alexander Wilson, Alexandra North, Vikki Wakeham, Roberto Fernández Ugalde, Héctor Zumbado-Ulate, Jon Bielby, Robert Puschendorf

School of Biological and Marine Sciences

Amphibian populations are declining, and species are going extinct due to habitat loss, climate change, and emerging infectious disease, prompting the increasing use of translocations as a conservation tool. Skin-associated bacterial communities play a key role in amphibian health, particularly in protecting hosts from pathogenic infection. However, to date weknow relatively little about the impact of translocation on the dynamics of skin-associated bacteria, or the consequences oftranslocation-mediated disturbance of the microbiome for amphibian health. We investigated the skin microbiome of the critically endangered frog Craugastor ranoides, now restricted to a fraction of its historical range in Costa Rica. We first …

Aspen Health On Cedar Mountain: What Landowners Should Know, Justin Derose, Darren Mcavoy

All Current Publications

Aspen forests are among the most valuable parts of the Cedar Mountain area in southwest Utah and of Utah's landscapes. They provide wildlife habitat, improve scenery, help slow wildfire spread, and support healthy watersheds and grazing lands. Cedar Mountain’s aspen forests are changing. The landscape still supports significant aspen acreage, but many stands are aging and losing mature trees faster than they are being replaced. Researchers studied the area to assess the health of the aspen forest over many years, beginning in 2008; this fact sheet discusses the results. It also provides management considerations.

Quantum-Enhanced And Machine Learning Framework For High-Accuracy Fatigue Life Prediction And Structural Analysis Of Connecting Rod, P. H. J. Venkatesh, P. Seema Rani

Babylonian Journal of Mechanical Engineering

The connecting rod is a critical mechanical component that transmits reciprocating motion from the piston to rotational motion in the crankshaft. Although connecting rods are traditionally manufactured from aluminum alloys, titanium alloys, or alloy steels, the demand for higher power-to-weight ratios has motivated the exploration of alternative materials supported by advanced computational validation methods. This study proposes a multilayer optimization framework for identifying the most suitable material for the connecting rod of a 110 cc four-stroke petrol engine. The component was modelled in Pro/ENGINEER, and high-fidelity Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was performed in ANSYS to evaluate the von Mises stress, …

Online First

Field-induced electrochemistry has attracted increasing attention as a complementary strategy for regulating electrode process kinetics beyond conventional composition and structure optimization. Externally applied fields and local fields arising from interfacial polarization, nonuniform charge or spin distribution, defects, heterostructures, spontaneous polarization, and high curvature surface geometries can influence adsorption, interfacial electron transfer, ion and mass transport, and gas–liquid transport. This review summarizes the conceptual development from field-induced chemistry to field-induced electrochemistry and discusses field effects from a multiscale kinetic perspective, including atomic and molecular processes, nanoscale interfacial regulation, and mesoscopic and macroscopic transport. Representative electric, magnetic, flow, strain, thermal, acoustic, and …

Fully Anharmonic Infrared Spectra Of Neutral Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons With Up To 38 Carbons, Nolan J. H. White, Vincent J. Esposito, Christiaan Boersma, Louis J. Allamandola, Jesse D. Bregman, Alexandros Maragkoudakis, Pasquale Temi, Ryan Fortenberry

Biology, Chemistry, and Environmental Sciences Faculty Articles and Research

Interstellar aromatic infrared band (AIB) spectra show agreement with presently computed anharmonic spectra for various types of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) determined using a novel semiempirical quantum chemical method. Since the AIB spectrum is a blend of emission spectra from a vast number of different PAHs, likely with an array of different molecular structures, the spectra for a sample set of 31 PAHs ranging in size from naphthalene (C₁₀H₈) up to circumbiphenyl (C₃₈H₁₆) are combined, giving consideration to almost all PAH structural motifs. The computed numerical quartic force fields coupled to second-order …
