We all owe Joseph Needham an immense debt for discovering Chinese science and technology for Western scholars. But his famous question (Why did the Chinese, who had been so far in advance of Europe until the 17th...
In this essay, I reflect on Joseph Needham's intellectual heritage, its impact on understanding the world history of knowledge circulation, and its broad influence on generations of scholars. I present two case studies of...

Trivalent metal hypophosphites with the general formula M(H2PO2)3 (M = V, Al, Ga) adopt the ReO3 structure, with each compound displaying two structural polymorphs. High-pressure synchrotron X-ray studies reveal a...
The m.3243A > G mitochondrial DNA mutation was originally described in patients with mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes. The phenotypic spectrum of the m.3243A > G mutation has since...
Mobile learning (M-learning) has become a crucial tool for both students and educators. The unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT), the technology acceptance model (TAM), and outside factors were all included...
This study empirically examines how digital M&A affects firm innovation using data from Chinese listed companies from 2006 to 2019. The results show that digital M&A promotes firm innovation, and our findings also suggest that...
The search for high voltage cathodes for lithium-ion batteries has led to recent interest in the monoclinic Li2Fe(SO4)2 material which has a voltage of 3.83 V vs. lithium, the highest recorded for a fluorine-free iron-based...
John Haugeland passed away suddenly in 2010 leaving behind an unfinished book manuscript on Heidegger. He was an analytic philosopher who specialized in the philosophy of mind and cognitive science; however, he had an “extensive...

The electrophilic character of free diamidocarbenes (DACs) allows them to activate inert bonds in small molecules, such as NH3 and P4. Herein, we report that metal coordinated DACs also exhibit...

Mobile government (m-government) can potentially provide substantial benefits. Nonetheless, the low level of use has prevented realizing the potential benefits of m-government. As a result, researchers have studied the factors...

Organisations are challenged with executing innovation for sustainable development within the context of their operations and value networks—networks which are increasingly fuelled by mergers and acquisitions (M&As)...
We study the evolution of the dust temperature of galaxies in the SFR− M∗ plane up to z ~ 2 using far-infrared and submillimetre observations from the Herschel Space Observatory taken as part of the PACS Evolutionary Probe (PEP)...
