Abstract Feminist criticism recognises two rival sacrifices in the Western philosophical- theological tradition: motherly sacrifice of childbirth and near-sacrifice Isaac (the so-called Akedah; Gen 22). In this paper, I investigate both as a self-emptying transformative process that aims to offer oneself place other. The argument proceeds three steps: first, present self-sacrifice moment identi...

Single-component porous silk microcapsules were synthesized by the one-step desolvation method using PLGA spheres as sacrificial templates. Subsequently, AuNRs-T5 were utilized to synthesize silk-based hybrid capsules, which not only capped the pores of the shell but also enhanced Raman scattering.

A device containing a 3D microchannel network (fabricated using sacrificial melt-spun microfibers) sandwiched between lithographically patterned microfluidic channels offers improved delivery of soluble compounds to a large volume compared to a simple stack of two microfluidic channel layers. With this improved delivery ability comes an increased fluidic resistance due to the tortuous network o...

A range of novel 4-amino-6-arylpyrimidines has been prepared under mild conditions by an electrochemical reductive cross-coupling between 4-amino-6-chloro-pyrimidines and functionalized aryl halides. The process, which employs a sacrificial iron anode in conjunction with a nickel(II) catalyst, allows the formation of coupling products in moderate to high yields.

A facile approach of making scalable nanocomposite and electro-patterned films using graphene oxide (GO) and poly(N-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) is reported. The method involves the layering of polystyrene colloidal templates, electrodeposition of the composite film on template array, and finally removal of the sacrificial templates to reveal the patterned GO-PVK arrays.
