Coupled Model for Assessing the Present and Future Watershed Vulnerabilities to Climate Change Impacts
Authors: Martínez Adrián , Herrera Manuel , de la Cruz Jesús López , Orozco Ismael
Published: February 2023

There is great uncertainty about the future effects of climate change on the global economic, social, environmental, and water sectors. This paper focuses on watershed vulnerabilities to climate change by coupling a distributed hydrological model with artificial neural networks and spatially distributed indicators for the use of a predictive model of such vulnerability. The analyses are complemented by a Monte Carlo evaluation of the uncertainty associated with the projections of the global circulation models, including how such uncertainty impacts the vulnerability forecast. To test the proposal, the paper uses current and future vulnerabilities of the Turbio River watershed, located in the semi-arid zone of Guanajuato (Mexico). The results show that nearly 50% of the watershed currently has medium and high vulnerabilities, and only the natural areas in the watershed show low vulnerabilities. In the future, an increase from medium to high vulnerability is expected to occur in urban and agricultural areas of the basin, with an associated uncertainty of ±15 mm in the projected precipitation.

Published: February 2023

The spreading of the water droplets falling on surfaces with a contact angle from 0 to 160° was investigated in this work. Superhydrophilicity of the surface is achieved by laser treatment, and hydrophobization is then achieved by applying a fluoropolymer coating of different thicknesses. The chosen approach makes it possible to obtain surfaces with different wettability, but with the same morphology. The parameter t* corresponding to the time when the capillary wave reaches the droplet apex is established. It is shown that for earlier time moments, the droplet height change does not depend on the type of used substrate. A comparison with the data of other authors is made and it is shown that the motion of the contact line on the surface weakly depends on the type of the used structure if its characteristic size is less than 10 μm.

This study investigates the distributions of velocity and Reynolds stress in an artificial pool-riffle sequence for two entrance slopes of 5° and 20° in a laboratory and compares the results with a similar pool-riffle sequence in a gravel-bed river in central Iran. Quadrant analysis is applied to find out the contributions of different events on turbulent flow structures. At an entrance slope of 5°, the velocity distribution follows an exponential trend without flow separation, but for the entrance slope of 20°, the velocity distribution indicates a S-shaped pattern with flow separation. Variation of entrance slope does not influence the convex form of Reynolds stress (RS) distribution, but it influences the location of the maximum value of RS and the flow separation zone length. The results reveal that outward and ejection are the dominant events for both field and laboratory settings. The sweep displays a decreasing trend from near the bed toward the water surface, however, the outward contribution indicates an increasing trend from the bed toward the water surface. The agreement between laboratory and field results in velocity and Reynolds stress will help the river engineers to better manage complex fluvial processes. Bursting process events depend on the aspect ratio for the same entrance pool slope. The agreement in the results of velocity and Reynolds stress distributions and the dominant events of bursting process in the laboratory and field are encouraging for better restoration of rivers and decreasing the cost of projects.

Published: February 2023

Marine sediment deposits near the Qiongzhou Strait have great potential as sources for beach nourishment and infrastructure industry aggregates. Estimation of bedload transport during the spring tide improves the understanding of the sediment movement characteristic under dynamic conditions, which would further favor the assessment and mining of marine sand resources. To study the bedload transport at the eastern entrance of the Qiongzhou Strait, the surficial sediment distributions were obtained through hundreds of sediment samples from field work. A semi-implicit cross-scale hydrological science integrated system model was adopted and validated to simulate the tidal currents in the Qiongzhou Strait. With field observation and simulated data, we estimated the spring tide bedload transport in the study area using the Bagnold Model. The transport rate in the study area was found to have large temporal and spatial variation. The net transport direction during the spring tide cycle was eastward in the southern parts of the strait and westward in the northern strait. Our research has important implications for regional engineering and marine resources management.

The main problem presented in this paper is the safety inlet navigation of the waterway below the bridge in the city of Kaunas in Lithuania. The analyzed reach is located in the Nemunas river downstream of the Kaunas dam. It is a part of the waterway E–41 leading to the Klaipeda harbor on the southern coast of the Baltic Sea. The work was initiated by the Lithuanian company UAB “Inžinerinis projektavimas” with funds from the project called European Union Trans-European Transport Network (EU TEN-T). The main requirement imposed along this reach is to keep sufficient depth even in the range of the lowest flows. The depth is sufficient if it is not lower than 1.15 m for minimum flows such as Q95% and Q95% with ice. The hydraulic conditions for maximum flow Q50%, Q5%, and Q1% are also taken into account for control because the threat of hydraulic jump generation was also noticed. The research is based on georeferenced data from public and non-public sources. The hydrologic data were received from the Lithuanian Hydrometeorological Service. The physical model was created in the Water Laboratory of the Department of Hydraulic and Sanitary Engineering at Poznan University of Life Sciences, Poland. The preprocessing of spatial data in ArcGIS 10.8.2 and rules of hydraulic similarity were implemented in the process of physical model preparation. Three experiments were conducted in the laboratory with scaled values of Q95%, Q5%, and Q1%. The measurements of the water surface and evaluations of the average velocity were used to validate the 2D numerical model prepared in HEC-RAS 6.3.1. The basic layers of the HEC-RAS model were preprocessed in ArcGIS 10.8.2 by ESRI company. The numerical model was implemented to test different values of unknown roughness of the channel bottom. The simulations were conducted for the real values of Q95% and Q95% with ice and Q50%. The results of the simulations were depth and Froude number maps. These maps were classified into zones of no risk, middle risk, and high risk. ArcGIS in the post-processing phase was applied to identify the locations of the hazards. The magnitude of risk was expressed in terms of minimum depth achieved, maximum Froude number, as well as the length of the reaches with high risk related to these two factors. The threat of hydraulic jump formation below the bridge was also noticed. Conducted results confirmed that the combination of hydrodynamic simulations and geoprocessing in the pre- and post-processing stages could be a powerful tool in hydraulic engineering analyses. Additionally, it is worth noting that numerical modeling enables a wider analysis of potential conditions than could be possible with a physical model only.

Published: February 2023

The study of heterotrophic protists in the ocean is still in its early stages, compared to other microorganisms such as bacteria, archaea, and photoautotrophic protists. Labyrinthulomycetes protists (LP) are a type of unicellular protists that are widely distributed in global waters and have the potential to produce high-value products. In this study, the abundance, diversity, and community structure of LP in the coastal zone of Hainan Island in the South China Sea were investigated through quantitative PCR and high-throughput sequencing. The results showed that LP abundance varied by location and depth, with the highest levels (37.3 × 103 copies/L) found in the middle layer offshore and the lowest (0.386 × 103 copies/L) in the bottom layer offshore. The middle layer (chlorophyll maximum layer) had higher LP abundance both inshore and offshore than the surface and bottom layers. Interestingly, the highest LP richness and diversity was found in the inshore bottom. There was a significant difference in LP abundance between the offshore surface and bottom layers. The LP community was dominated by the genus Aplanochytrium, and four different ecotypes were identified. Additionally, the genus Aurantiochytrium had different cooperative and competitive strategies with bacteria in different habitats. This study sheds light on the abundance and community structure of LP in the coastal zone of Hainan Island, explores the potential interactions between LP and bacterial populations, and raises questions about the potential differentiation of LP ecotypes.
Long-Term Trend and Variability of Volume Transport and Advective Heat Flux through the Boundaries of the Java Sea Based on a Global Ocean Circulation Model (1950–2013)
Authors: Rachmayani Rima , Ningsih Nining Sari , Hanifah Farrah , Nabilla Yasmin
Published: February 2023

The variability and trend of volume and advective heat flux, in addition to the net inflow and outflow of advective heat flux in the Java Sea for 64 years (1950–2013), along with its relationship with the monsoon, ENSO (El Niño Southern Oscillation), and IOD (Indian Ocean Dipole), have all been studied. A simulation of the 3D hydrodynamic HYCOM (HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model) with a 1/8° grid resolution was performed in this study. Judging from the simulated results, the seasonal variability, which has a period of 12 months, has a very significant impact on contributing to the variability and trend of volume and advective heat flux, as well as the net inflow and outflow of advective heat flux in the Java Sea for 64 years. This is followed by interannual variability, which has a time range of 1.5–6.5 years, and interdecadal variability, with a period of 21.3–32 years. The interannual variability in the Java Sea is strongly caused by ENSO and IOD. El Niño and a positive IOD caused a weakening of southward transport through Karimata and the Bangka Strait. On the contrary, southward transport strengthened during La Niña and the negative IOD. Furthermore, La Niña and a positive IOD both strengthen (weaken) the transport westward (eastward) in the Sunda Strait (Eastern Java). On the other hand, El Niño and a negative IOD weaken (strengthen) the westward (eastward) transport in the Sunda Strait (Eastern Java). According to the findings, the IOD effect is stronger than the ENSO effect in the Java Sea. The inflow and outflow of volume transport in the Java Sea are in balance, but not the advective heat flux. The advective heat transported through Karimata and Bangka Strait to the Java Sea is up to 0.216 PW, while the total advective heat flux through the outflow straits (Sunda Strait and Eastern Java) is 0.220 PW. Thus, the net advective heat flux out of the Java Sea is 0.004 PW, allegedly obtained from an atmosphere–sea interaction in which the sea received heat from the atmosphere.
Health impacts of aircraft noise - a UK communities' perspective
Authors: Beckford Paul
Published: February 2023

UK Air Navigation Guidance regards 51dB LAeq16hr for day time noise and 45dB Lnight for night time noise as the levels at which aircraft noise annoyance occurs. WHO guidelines (2018) concluded that health effects can occur at lower levels of 45 dB Lden and 40 dB Lnight. Current policy
recognises that noise annoyance can occur below 51dBLAeq yet it is not known how many people around UK airports may be adversely affected at these lower levels. This paper will seek to estimate the population size impacted by aircraft noise below 51dB LAeq around Heathrow airport. It will
also seek to provide an international comparison of the noise policies of different airports in Europe and globally, the size of the population impacted and the minimum threshold for the onset of health effects. The most radical changes in UK airspace history will take place in the next decade.
If more people are adversely impacted by aircraft noise at lower levels then this has significant ramifications for the cost benefit analysis of airspace changes. It is crucial that communities can understand the full health impacts of the proposals.

Published: February 2023

Objective speech intelligibility metrics are used to reduce the need for time consuming listening tests. They are used in the design of audio systems; room acoustics and signal processing algorithms. Most published speech intelligibility metrics have been developed using young adults
with so-called 'normal hearing', and therefore do not work well for those with different hearing characteristics. One of the most common causes of aural diversity is sensorineural hearing loss. While partially restoring perception through hearing aids is possible, results are mixed. This has
led to the Clarity Project, which is running an open series of Enhancement Challenges to improve the processing of speech-in-noise for hearing aids. To enable this, objective metrics of speech intelligibility are needed, which work from signals produced by hearing aids for diverse listeners.
For this reason, Clarity is also running Prediction Challenges to improve speech intelligibility models. Competitors are given a set of audio signals produced by hearing aid algorithms, and challenged to predict how many words a listener with a particular hearing characteristic will achieve.
Drawing on the learning from the challenge, we will outline what has been learnt about improving intelligibility metrics for those with a hearing impairment.
Tradição de Penélope
Authors: Silva Maria de Fátima
Published: February 2023

Qualquer reflexão sobre reescritas contemporâneas do mito de Penélope deverá estabelecer previamente os tópicos convencionais na tradição greco-latina, de que todas elas são devedoras. Fragilidade e sofrimento, violência e assédio, perspicácia e talento, reconhecimento e reencontro são motivos estruturantes dessa narrativa. Embora sabendo a difusão que, desde tempos remotos, se oculta por trás de referências fragmentárias, damos por certo que as raízes determinantes para todo esse lastro que perdurou, ininterrupto, ao longo dos séculos, são a Odisseia e Ovídio, Heroides. A literatura portuguesa também não se isentou do fascínio pelo episódio de Ítaca e pelo simbolismo que continha. A termos em conta apenas a poesia contemporânea, são múltiplos os autores que, de modo explícito, regressaram ao assunto. Desse património iremos considerar dois poetas, Miguel Torga e Manuel Alegre, de certo modo articulados no tratamento, temático e estético, que dedicam a Ulisses e Penélope.

An Enquiry into the Liaison between Disinvestment Receipts and Operating Profit of CPSEs in India
Authors: Ghosh Sudipta , Aithal P.S.
Published: February 2023

Disinvestment of Government’s equity is a method in which equity capital owned by the Govt. is withdrawn either in fraction or in whole. From the pecuniary year 1991-92, the Govt. of India started the process of disinvestment in CPSEs. The basic law behind divestment is to augment wealth, encourage broader civic participation and to achieve enhanced market responsibility. The essential goal of disinvestment is to make sure best use of nationwide capital and to expand prolific effectiveness of the enterprises. A Public Sector Enterprise (PSE) refers to an enterprise that is owned and proscribed by the Government. In this type of enterprise, investment is made wholly or partially by the Govt. The basic goal of a public enterprise is to deliver commodities and services to the society at a reasonable price, apart from earning profit. In this backdrop, the current study is an effort to enquire the liaison between and aggregate disinvestment receipts and aggregate operating profit of the CPSEs in India during the study episode 2010-11 to 2019-20. Both positive and negative liaisons are observed between aggregate disinvestment receipts and aggregate operating profit of the CPSEs in India during the study episode, although the outcome is found to be noteworthy for the entire study episode. In finale, it may be concluded that the process of disinvestment considerably helps the Indian CPSEs to augment their operating profit during the entire period under study.

Published: February 2023

Agriculture is the largest sector of economic activity in India. It provides not only food and raw materials but also provides employment to a large section of the people. The term agriculture is directly related to all types of activity relating to cultivating crops, growing crops, harvesting and main processing of agricultural products, animal and livestock, and agro forestry. The growth rate of the economy was 6.8 percent from 2018 to 2019 and 7.5 percent from 2017 to 2018. There was a decline in the growth rate of agriculture and allied activity due to low wages in the agricultural sector, low food prices, and lack of lending by the Non-banking finance company’s (NBCFs) all these factors affect the growth of the agricultural sector in India. According to the 2011 census report, 54.6 percent of the people depend upon the agricultural and allied sectors for their livelihood. It contributes 16 percent of the country’s Gross Value Added for the year 2018 to 2019. So, this study aims to find out the socio-economic condition of women workers in agriculture in Erode District. This study focuses on the problems faced by the workers in Erode district and suggests various measures to develop the workers in the selected area.

Authors: Işık Kirişçi Dilay , Duruk Eda
Published: February 2023

The present research aims to investigate interactive and interactional metadiscourse markers in the abstract sections of academic research articles written in Turkish and English. Two disciplines, namely, Special Education and Preschool Education, are selected for the research. Three different types of language use are examined: English articles written by native speakers of English, English articles written by Turkish speakers, and Turkish articles written by Turkish speakers. Following Hyland and Tse’s (2004) metadiscourse taxonomy, a corpus of 300 research articles abstract published by international journals, is used to investigate the metadiscourse markers. After the detailed analysis, the chi-square test is aimed to be used to clarify the probable differences. The results of the study indicate that, in terms of interactive and interactional metadiscourse markers, there are differences across the languages. To be more precise, statistically significant differences were found in the use of frame markers, code glosses, hedges, boosters, and self-mentions. Turkish writers used boosters and frame markers more frequently, while native speakers of English used hedges, code glosses, and self-mentions more. Some suggestions were provided for academic writers to comply with the writing conventions of academic writing, especially research article abstracts.

The aim of the study is to conduct a bibliometrical analysis on the published articles related to RME. Accordingly, Scopus database was scanned using the keywords “realistic mathematics education” or “realistic mathematic education” or “realistic maths” or “realistic mathematical education” and a total number of 1190 articles published on RME between 1986 and 2021 were obtained and anayzed bibliometrically. The data gathered was then analyzed utilizing “biblioshiny”, which is a web interface app in the bibliometric R-Studio program package. The analyses were conducted in order to find out the sample of the articles’ annual distributions; their 3-D area chart; the list of the journals that published the highest number of related articles; the authors and their institutions; source clusters obtained through Bradford’s Law, the scientific productivity of the authors by years and their citation burst scores; the scientific productivity of the countries; the word cloud and word tree patterns of these articles; co-word analysis of the concepts, the collaboration networks of the authors and the conceptual structure mapping. The findings obtained as a result of the conducted analyses indicate that there has been an increase in the interest in RME research after 2016 and the journal with the highest number of published articles on RME is Journal on Mathematics Education. Also, the authors with the highest numbers of publications are Z. Zulkardi, S. Suparman and R. I. I. Putri, respectively, while Utrecht University has the highest number of publications on the topic. The countries with the highest rates of productivity in terms of publications on RME are found to be the USA, Indonesia, and the Netherlands, respectively. In addition, the most frequently used keyword by the researchers is found to be “realistic mathematics education”, while “mathematics” is the most frequently utilized word in the titles of the analyzed articles. The overall findings of the study point out the need for further studies on RME as realistic mathematics education is considered to be a significant method in finding solutions to the problems in the field of mathematics education. Further theoretical contributions are also thought to be crucial as they could provide fundamental references for future research.
Learners’ Engagement in the Online Classes at the University Level in Bangladesh
Authors: Akanda Firoz , Babu Mizanur Rahman
Published: February 2023

The growing pandemic situation has led the world’s education to the online platform where students’ engagement has been the prime concern of educators, teachers, and researchers. This study aims to report the level of engagement in the online classes in addition to the feeling of the teachers and students towards it. Only a few studies on students’ engagement in the university-level online classes in Bangladesh have yet been conducted. To find the in-depth perfective result, this study has used a quantitative method where one hundred and thirty-eight participants including teachers and students took part in questionnaire surveys. The questionnaires were designed to study three types of engagements like participatory, performance, and skill engagements in virtual education at the level of higher study in Bangladesh. Through a quantitative analysis, our findings show that, though the students get themselves involved in online platforms, their level of engagement varies in terms of these three types of engagements. Data also revealed that the teacher-student interaction level in the online classes is not satisfactory though it lessens the students’ anxiety level. The purpose of this study was to see the learners’ engagement and their attitudes towards online classes. The only limitation is that it is only a small and quantitative study whereas a qualitative study may help to get into more depth the result of it.

India is a land of small entrepreneurs. MSMEs in India - comprising over five crore businesses and employing over eleven crore people - sum for nearly half of India’s production. There are around 6.33 crore MSMEs in the country and they manufacture more than 8000 products.MSMEs have faced challenges ranging from inadequate access to markets, poorly skilled manpower, poor technology adoption, high cost of capital, challenges in raw material procurement, and inadequate infrastructure. While the Government of India understands it needs to play a greater role in supporting MSMEs - as is evident from schemes like the Atmanirbhar Abhiyan - more needs to be done.As if these challenges were not enough, MSMEs were hit hard by the COVID outbreak and the resultant lockdowns.In this research paper, we explore the challenges faced by Indian MSMEs and the support that the government can offer them to help take on a future that looks skewed in favor of large enterprises.

A Portrait of Two Carnages: A Comparative Study between Jallianwala Bagh and Croke Park Massacres
Authors: Gupta Rebanta
Published: February 2023

This brief article attempts to make a comparative study between the two infamous massacres orchestrated by the British Empire: the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre of 1919, and the Croke Park Massacre of 1920. By discussing the issues of the identities of the perpetrators and the victims, and also how the martyrs of these massacres are remembered in the present times, this article aims to draw a historical axis connecting the predicaments of Indian and Irish independence movements against colonial despotism. It also highlights the representations of these two incidents in the domain of popular culture, by focusing mainly on the arena of films. The article, which does not initate a critical historical discussion about the causes and effects of the two massacres, aims to investigate the aftershocks of two genocides driven by imperial despotism, rather than delving into a historical study of the Jallianwala Bagh and Croke Park incidents.

How ‘Soft Governance’ Can Help Improve Learning Outcomes
Authors: Levy Brian
Published: February 2023

On the surface, global gains in educating children have been remarkable. Access has expanded enormously. So, too, has knowledge about ‘best practices’—both education-sector-specific knowledge about how students learn and successful teachers teach, and knowledge about ‘best practice’ arrangements for governing education systems. Yet the combination of access and knowledge has not translated into broad-based gains in learning outcomes. Why? In seeking to address this question, a useful point of departure is the 2018 Learning World Development Report’s distinction between proximate and underlying causes of learning shortfalls. Proximate causes include the skills and motivations of teachers, the quality of school management, the available of other inputs used in schools, and the extent to which learners come to school prepared to learn. Underlying these are the governance arrangements through which these inputs are deployed. Specialist knowledge on the proximate drivers of learning outcomes can straightforwardly be applied in countries where governance works well. However, in countries where the broader governance context is less supportive, specialist sector-specific interventions to support learning are less likely to add value. In these messy governance contexts, knowledge about the governance and political drivers of policymaking and implementation can be an important complement to sector-specific expertise. To help uncover new ways of improving learning outcomes (including in messy governance contexts), the Research on Improving Systems of Education (RISE) Programme has championed a broad-ranging, interdisciplinary agenda of research. RISE was organised around a variety of thematic and country-focused research teams that probed both proximate and underlying determinants of learning. As part of the RISE work programme, a political economy team commissioned studies on the politics of education policy adoption (the PET-A studies) for twelve countries (Chile, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, South Africa, Tanzania and Vietnam). A December 2022 RISE synthesis of the individual country studies1 laid out and applied a framework for systematically assessing how political and institutional context influences learning outcomes—and used the results to suggest some ‘good fit’ soft governance entry points for improving learning outcomes across a variety of different contexts. This insight note elaborates on the synthesis paper’s argument and its practical implications.

An effective condition for stabilizing the yields of winter soft wheat over the years is selection for high plasticity, for the resistance of new varieties to unfavorable environmental factors, which is possible when creating varieties in the zone where they appear. The purpose of the research is to create the initial material and high-yielding varieties of soft winter wheat in conditions of insufficient moisture in the southeastern part of the Steppe of Ukraine.

The research was carried out according to the method of field work by B. A. Dospekhov and the method of state variety testing of agricultural crops. Research methods: hybridological, field, laboratory, mathematical and statistical. The main method of breeding winter wheat is hybridization of the best domestic and foreign varieties, followed by targeted selection in the second-sixth generation of hybrids.

The experiments were carried out in the period from 2017 to 2020. in the fields of a seven-field selective crop rotation. According to the research results, it was found that out of 348 hybrid combinations of the second-sixth generations, 16130 lines were selected for sowing in a breeding nursery. In it, 7200 lines were assessed and 1780 numbers were selected for study in the control nursery. After a comprehensive assessment in the control nursery, out of 2830 numbers, 386 numbers were left for study in the previous variety trial. In the preliminary variety trial, 198 numbers were studied; 77 numbers were left for further study.

In a small competitive variety trial for grain yield, 15 hybrid combinations were distinguished, which exceeded the standard Donetskaya 48 by 0.48-1.57 t / ha. In the competitive variety trials for yield per pair, the best were hybrid combinations gk4, gk318, gk321, which exceeded the Donetsk 48 standard by 0.21-0.51 t / ha, after corn for silage - gk321, gk363, gk318, gk716/1, of which the increase to the standard was 0.15-0.47 t/ha.In terms of yield in ecological variety testing, the best winter wheat varieties were Boginya, Popelyushka, DivoDonetskoe, OberegMironovsky, Yuzovskaya, Igristaya, Peremoga, Patriotka, which exceeded the standard variety Donetskaya 48 by 0.35-0.68 t/ha. New varieties of winter wheat Vezha and Almaz of bakery direction of use, undemanding to the agricultural background, maximally adapted to the arid conditions of the southeastern Steppe of Ukraine, are under state testing.

Key words: selection, winter wheat, hybridization, variety, yield.

Published: February 2023

Rosai-Dorfman-Destombes disease (RDD) is a rare non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis, with sinus involvement and massive lymphadenopathy. RDD is usually self-limited; it can appear alone or related to other diseases. We present a 9-year-old male with biopsy of that lesion was taken, giving as result a benign histiocytosis, compatible with RDD. The patient was scanned with full body 18F-FDG PET/CT, the results of the study showed hypermetabolic focal lesions in the sphenoid sinus, ethmoid sinus, and bilateral nasal involvement with hypermetabolic focal injury in the middle third of the left tibia, findings in relation to high-grade expansive injury. The study of 18F-FDG PET/CT demonstrated avid FDG lesions at nodal and extranodal sites, and it also can be used in monitoring and/or evaluating response to treatment.

In this study, we fabricate MXene transparent conductive films via a transfer process. The results show that the transferred transparent conductive films using titanium carbide MXene have ca. 100 times higher electrical conductivity than conventional spray-coated samples. Transparency and electrical conductivity are easily controlled by changing the amount of MXene materials. The scanning electron microscopy observations reveal that the transferred films have a smooth and uniform MXene flake network. The closer interlayer distance of the MXene flakes when compared to the spray-coated sample, which enables superior electrical conductivity, is confirmed by the X-ray diffraction measurement.
