The career of film director Ann Hui highlights the importance of stories told from a woman's perspective to the development of the Hong Kong New Wave beginning in 1979. Part of broader trends that opened doors to women and other emerging voices in the region, Hui's global recognition in film festivals, her popular appeal within the region and throughout the Chinese diaspora, as well as the more recent international recognition of her films are central to the growth of the movie industry in Asia. Hui's regional and global significance also exemplifies Hong Kong's local film culture during a period of enormous change.
Although not the only Hong Kong woman director to emerge as a significant figure in world cinema, the length of Hui's career and the scores of accolades she has garnered in the Asian region and at European film festivals makes her stand out. Moreover, she tends to focus on women‐centered narratives within an industry known for male‐defined martial arts and heroic bloodshed films. Her career underscores the difficulties of negotiating gender politics in Chinese‐language cinema, the significance of social justice movements to the new wave, the appeal of border‐crossing stories about mainland women, and Hong Kong's contribution to global film aesthetics through cinematic techniques that capture the nuances of characters' subjectivities.
Women's Radio Production
Authors: Mitchell Caroline 
Published: July 2020

Radio listening has been intimately entwined with women's lives since its invention in the 1920s. The emerging field of radio studies has encompassed research about female radio pioneers and the historical importance of radio made by women, providing a critique of the gender blindness of radio history writing. There is now a body of feminist radio history work and related women's radio archives which demonstrate how women have been “rewritten” back into radio history. The relationship between women and radio spans research and practices concerning the nature of women's radio and feminist radio and the agency of women as program makers and managers. A reoccurring theme is the persistence of inequalities and limiting gendered roles in different parts of the radio industry worldwide and the opportunities afforded by newer forms of sound production and distribution such as community broadcasting and podcasting.
Research about women's radio production has been instrumental in reconfiguring modern media spaces of identity and agency. Women have used diverse approaches within feminist and community radio to be agents of resistance against traditional representations of themselves in radio and have made forceful inroads into gender equality. Women are active as program makers in different program genres and women's radio stations, programs, and services have been set up in most regions of the world in the latter half of the 20th century. New sound platforms such as podcasting and online archives have amplified the voices and ultimately the reach of women's radio, creative audio/radio production and women's radio activism.
Representing the Modified Body
Authors: Brown Melanie L. 
Published: July 2020

Women with visible tattoos and body modifications continue to face social and cultural stigma and discrimination because of their physical appearance, with tattoos historically being linked to criminal activity, alcoholism, sexual promiscuity, and violence. Tattooed women are often portrayed in media representations and in daily life as defying normative standards of femininity and female beauty. Body projects, such as being a heavily tattooed woman, that are not focused on the pursuit of normative beauty are consequently viewed as “deviant,” and this stems from the fact that a woman's social value is determined by her beauty, as opposed to men who are usually evaluated based on their social and economic status. Tattooing subverts the male gaze, as the traditional Western notion of feminine skin is of pure, unblemished skin.
The literature in this field has focused on a broad spectrum of considerations, including the symbolic meaning behind chosen tattoo designs; motivations for being tattooed; and links to surviving child sexual abuse. Increasingly, the literature has focused on gender and tattooing, displacing the notion that tattoo‐collecting or tattooing are solely masculine enterprises. The body narratives of tattooed people attest that tattoos are much more symbolic and meaningful than surface decoration for the body, as they allow the body to speak for itself. The literature has also focused on the enhanced social stigma of being an older tattooed woman, or a tattooed mother.

Published: July 2020

AbstractHighly efficient electrocatalysts play an integral part in developing renewable energy conversion and storage technologies. Despite considerable efforts devoted to synthesizing electrocatalysts with superior performance, the identification of active moieties and understanding of reaction mechanisms under practical conditions still remain elusive. Herein, the substantial progresses in unraveling the local electronic and atomic structure optimizations of nanocatalysts for gas‐involved electrocatalysis, disclosing real active sites, and clarifying their relationships with intrinsic activities by combining advanced characterization techniques with computational simulations are summarized. The continuous development of in situ and ex situ characterization tools, particularly at multi‐scale resolution, to monitor or even directly observe the active center structure is systematically discussed, which is divided into four main categories based on the type of active sites: atomically dispersed active sites, vacancies, heteroatom doping sites, and edge sites. Current challenges and perspectives in both fundamental area and industrial application are finally proposed for the future research direction of next‐generation electrode materials. The aim of this review is to provide mechanistic insights into the real catalytically active structure with the assistance of newly developed characterization techniques, guiding the rational design and structure engineering of advanced functional materials with outstanding activity, selectivity, and durability.

Published: July 2020

AbstractCovalent organic frameworks (COFs) are an emerging class of crystalline porous polymers with tailorable compositions, porosities, functionalities, and intrinsic chemical stability. The incorporation of electroactive moieties in the structure transforms COFs into electroactive materials with great potential for energy‐related applications. Herein, the recent advances in the design and use of electroactive COFs as capacitors, batteries, conductors, fuel cells, water‐splitting, and electrocatalysis are addressed. Their remarkable performance is discussed and compared with other porous materials; hence, perspectives in the development of electroactive COFs are presented.

Published: July 2020

AbstractGraphene‐based laminate membranes have been theoretically predicted to selectively transport ethanol from ethanol–water solution while blocking water. Here, robust angstrom‐channel graphene membranes (ACGMs) fabricated by intercalating carbon sheets derived from chitosan into thermally reduced graphene oxide (GO) sheets are reported. ACGMs with robust and continuous slit‐shaped pores (an average pore size of 3.9 Å) are investigated for the dehydration of ethanol. Surprisingly, only water permeates through ACGMs in the presence of aqueous ethanol solution. For the water‐ethanol mixture containing 90 wt% ethanol, water can selectively permeate through ACGMs with a water flux of 63.8 ± 3.2 kg m−2 h−1 at 20 °C and 389.1 ± 19.4 kg m−2 h−1 at 60 °C, which are over two orders of magnitude higher than those of conventional pervaporation membranes. This means that ACGMs can effectively operate at room temperature. Moreover, the ethanol can be fast concentrated to high purity (up to 99.9 wt%). Therefore, ACGMs are very promising for production of bioethanol with high efficiency, thus improving its process sustainability.
Solid‐State Electrolyte Dielectrics Based on Exceptional High‐k P(VDF‐TrFE‐CTFE) Terpolymer for High‐Performance Field‐Effect Transistors

Published: July 2020

AbstractHigh‐performance and low‐voltage organic and inorganic field‐effect transistors (FETs) with solid‐state electrolyte gate insulator that is composed of an exceptional high‐k fluorinated dielectric and an ion‐gel‐blend polymer matrix are reported. The structuring polymer is high‐k poly(vinylidenefluoride‐trifluoroethylene‐chlorotrifluoroethylene) (P(VDF‐TrFE‐CTFE)) terpolymer. The ion gel is made of poly(vinylidene fluoride‐co‐hexafluroropropylene) (P(VDF‐HFP)) and 1‐ethyl‐3‐methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide ([EMIM][TFSI]) ion liquid. The blend polymer matrix has high measured capacitance of ≈2 to 5.5 µF cm−2 at 100 Hz, which is attributed to formation of electrical double layers (EDLs) at the insulator/semiconductor interface. High effective carrier mobility (μeff) and low operating voltage ≤2 V with just 0.5 v% of P(VDF‐HFP)‐[EMIM][TFSI] solution in the bulk P(VDF‐TrFE‐CTFE) insulating layer are demonstrated, coupled with low gate‐leakage current levels. Excellent μeff = 1.30 ± 0.19 cm2 V−1 s−1 is achieved in P3HT FETs with SEGI, which is a remarkable boost from 0.48 ± 0.09 cm2 V−1 s−1 at 30 V when pure P(VDF‐TrFE‐CTFE) dielectric is used. Other semiconductors are also tested: IGZO has μeff = 11.09 ± 2.07 cm2 V−1 s−1, and PDFDT has μeff = 2.42 ± 0.46 cm2 V−1 s−1. These remarkable increases in mobility are attributed to the high concentration of induced carriers in the semiconducting channel.

AbstractPolariton condensates' propagation is strongly dependent on the particular energy landscape the particles are moving upon, in which the geometry of the pathway laid for their movement plays a crucial role. Bends in the circuit's trajectories affect the condensates' speed and oblique geometries introduce an additional discretization of the polaritons' momenta due to the mixing of short and long axis wavevectors on the propagating eigenvalues. In this work, the nature of the propagation of condensates along the arms of a polariton coupler is studied by a combination of time‐resolved micro‐tomography measurements and a theoretical model based on a mean field approximation where condensed polaritons are described by an equation for the slow varying amplitude of the polariton field coupled to an equation for the density of incoherent excitons.

Published: July 2020

AbstractA chiral phosphoric acid catalyzed stereoselective Michael addition of 5H‐thiazol‐4‐ones to arylazocarboxylates was developed for the construction of optically active N,S‐acetal frameworks. Both 1‐naphthylazocarboxylates and phenylazocarboxylates were compatible to afford a series of 1,4‐adducts in generally high yields and enantioselectivities. Notably, the catalytic protocol enables the formation of N,S‐acetals featuring thiazol‐4‐one skeleton.

Published: July 2020

AbstractAdvances in zeolites research emerging from interdisciplinary efforts have opened new opportunities beyond conventional applications. Colloids drive much current research owing to their distinct collective behaviors, but so far, using zeolites as a colloidal building block to construct ordered superstructures remains unexplored. Herein we show that self‐assembly of colloidal zeolite LTA superball (ZAS) by tilted‐angle sedimentation forms macroscopic films with micro‐mesoporosity and 3D long‐range periodicity featuring a photonic band gap (PBG) that is tunable through the superball geometry and responds reversibly to chemical vapors. Remarkably, self‐assembly of ZAS at elevated temperature forms 3D chiral photonic crystals that enable negative circular dichroism, selective reflection of right‐handed circularly polarized (CP) light and left‐handed CP luminescence based on PBG. We present a novel class of functional colloids and zeolite‐based photonic crystals with the ability to manipulate light in several ways.

Published: July 2020

AbstractAqueous Zn batteries are promising energy‐storage devices. However, their lifespan is limited by irreversible Zn anodes owing to water decomposition and Zn dendrite growth. Here, we separate aqueous electrolyte from Zn anode by coating a thin MOF layer on anode and filling the pores of MOF with hydrophobic Zn(TFSI)2‐tris(2,2,2‐trifluoroethyl)phosphate (TFEP) organic electrolyte that is immiscible with aqueous Zn(TFSI)2–H2O bulk electrolyte. The MOF encapsulated Zn(TFSI)2‐TFEP forms a ZnF2‐Zn3(PO4)2 solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) preventing Zn dendrite and water decomposition. The Zn(TFSI)2‐TFEP@MOF electrolyte protected Zn anode enables a Zn||Ti cell to achieve a high average Coulombic efficiency of 99.1 % for 350 cycles. The highly reversible Zn anode brings a high energy density of 210 Wh kg−1 (of cathode and anode mass) and a low capacity decay rate of 0.0047 % per cycle over 600 cycles in a Zn||MnO2 full cell with a low capacity ratio of Zn:MnO2 at 2:1.
Macrostructure and NOx emission evolution characteristics of lean‐premixed flames under combustion instability
Authors: Tao Chengfei , Zhou Hao 
Published: July 2020

AbstractEffects of combustion instability on flame macrostructures and NOx emissions were conducted experimentally in a model gas turbine combustor. Two variables of the CH4 flame were investigated—the flow rate and the equivalence ratio. Results indicate that flame macrostructure changes when the equivalence ratio increases from 0.50 to 1.00, the average total length of flame front firstly decreases from 105 to 75 mm, and then increases to 110 mm. While the average length of flame root decreases from 25 to 5 mm. The appearance of the flame front evolves from a “M” shape to a reversed “V” shape, but the appearance of the flame root changes from elongated V shape to a flatted V shape. The envelop diagram of different combustion instability signifies that there are mode shifting of flame‐acoustic interactions in the combustion chamber. Under instability conditions, the temperature and velocity distribution of the flame front or flame root affects the NOx emissions. Along the radial direction, the peak temperature in the inner recirculation region and the outer recirculation region drops. This article explored the dynamic characteristics of lean‐premixed flames under combustion instability, which could be instructive to the designing of stable and clean combustors in industrial gas turbines.

AbstractNanostructured transition metal oxide synthesis possessing high energy density and stability is desirable for supercapacitors. Herein, we synthesize three‐dimensional NiCo2O4 (NCO) nanosheets with oxygen vacancies induced by sustainable and environmentally benign electrodeposition assisted chemical reduction process. Oxygen vacancies increase the conductivity, adsorptivity, and the active surface area, thereby enhancing the charge storage capabilities. The binder‐free NCO delivers the highest specific capacitance (Csp) of 2065 F g−1 at 1 A g−1, retaining 89.30 % of its initial value at 10 A g−1 after 10,000 continuous charge‐discharge (CD) cycles. An asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) fabricated shows remarkable electrochemical properties with high energy density (Emax) of 28.6 Wh kg−1 and power density (Pmax) of 7.5 kW kg−1. The assembled ASC reports exceptional cyclic retention of 90.6 % for 10,000 CD cycles with practical demonstration. The approach used herein is suitable for eco‐friendly supercapacitor electrode fabrication with large scale manufacturing capability and less capital investment.

AbstractElevated body mass index (BMI) has been inconsistently associated with prostate cancer occurrence but it has been suggested that life course adulthood obesity may be associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer. However, few studies have investigated lifetime BMI and prostate cancer risk. We analyzed life course BMI trajectories on prostate cancer risk based on data from the Epidemiological study of Prostate Cancer (EPICAP). We included in our analyses 781 incident prostate cancer cases and 829 controls frequency matched by age. Participants were asked about their weight every decade from age 20 to two years before reference date. BMI trajectories were determined using group‐based trajectory modeling to identify groups of men with similar patterns of BMI changes. We identified five BMI trajectories groups. Men with a normal BMI at age 20 developing overweight or obesity during adulthood were at increased risk of aggressive prostate cancer compared to men who maintained a normal BMI. Our results suggest that BMI trajectories resulting in overweight or obesity during adulthood are associated with an increased risk of aggressive prostate cancer, particularly in never smokers, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a healthy BMI throughout adulthood.
Interrogating and redefining the concept of consumer inertia
Authors: Cui Rui , Xin Shuang , Li Zhiyong 
Published: July 2020

AbstractThrough a historical analysis of the concept of inertia about its origination, definitions, and interpretations in the marketing context, this article presents the disagreements and debates on consumer inertia. In response, the authors redefine it by proposing clear definitions for two types of consumer inertia (CI1 and CI2). The reconceptualization clarifies the scope of consumer inertia and the role it plays in repeat purchase behavior. The conceptual models indicate the determinant and moderating factors of CI1 and CI2. The sequential development conceptual model of CI2 based on four dimensions (Cognitive Inertia, Affective Inertia, Conative Inertia, Action Inertia) deconstructs its mechanism. As for its relationship with loyalty, while type one inertia (CI1) leads to Spurious Loyalty, type two consumer inertia (CI2) can lead to either Loyalty, Latent Loyalty, Spurious Loyalty or No Loyalty. This study contributes to a better understanding of how consumer inertia works in repeat purchase behavior and provides some implications for future research and marketing practice.
Mechanism of CO Oxidation on Pd/CeO2(100): The Unique Surface‐Structure of CeO2(100) and the Role of Peroxide
Authors: Kim Yongseon , Lee Hosik , Kwak Ja Hun 
Published: July 2020

AbstractUnderstanding the atomic mechanism of low‐temperature CO oxidation on a heterogeneous catalyst is challenging. We performed density functional theory (DFT) calculations to identify the surface structure and reaction mechanism responsible for low‐temperature CO oxidation on Pd/CeO2 (100) surfaces. DFT calculations reveal the formation of a unique zigzag chain structure by the oxygen and Ce atoms of the topmost surface of CeO2(100) with Pd atoms located between the zigzag chains. O2 adsorbed on such Pd atoms is stable in the presence of CO but plays a very important role in lowering the activation barrier for low‐temperature CO oxidation by forming a square‐planar PdO4 structure and facilitating further O2 adsorption. In‐situ Raman spectroscopy studies confirm the adsorbed oxygen species to be peroxides. The calculated activation barrier for CO oxidation, based on the mechanism suggested by these unique structures and peroxides, is 31.2 kJ/mol, in excellent agreement with our experimental results.
Domino Relay Olefin Metathesis of Triallyl Oxindole and Indole Precursors to Access Cyclic Indoxyls and Carbazoles
Authors: Mandal Tirtha , Dhara Kalyan , Parui Nabin , Dash Jyotirmayee 
Published: July 2020

AbstractWe herein disclose domino relay metathesis sequences using triallyl 3‐oxindole and indole precursors to access C2‐quaternary cyclic pseudooxindole and carbazole ring systems. Triallyl 3‐oxindoles undergo domino ring closing metathesis (RCM) and cross metathesis (CM) to provide C2‐spirocyclic 3‐oxindoles. Intriguingly, a catalyst specific relay metathesis sequence involving ring closing‐ring opening‐ring closing and cross metathesis (RC‐RO‐RC‐CM) of these trienes is established to provide fused bicyclic indoxyl dimers in high yields. Further, the CM of indoxyl dimer with methyl acrylate affords a new class of fused monomeric 3‐oxindole derivative. Moreover, a domino RCM‐CM process of triallyl indoles is demonstrated, enabling a quick access to dihydro‐carbazoles and carbazoles.

Published: July 2020

AbstractMicroscale processes offer a substantial advantage to the process industry as separation is conducted rapidly and efficiently. However, the effectiveness of the separation depends on the stability of the flow regime. Experimental and numerical analysis was carried out to characterize the flow patterns of polyethylene glycol 200 (PEG200) and diesel fuel at several flow ratios in order to achieve optimal conditions for a stable pattern. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was employed using the volume‐of‐fluid (VOF) model and the results were validated with the experimental data. Both experimental and numerical outcomes revealed two‐phase flow patterns. These findings enable the application of the simulated module for further liquid‐liquid mass transfer studies where sulfuric compounds exist as solutes in the fuel.
