American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.Abstract How can defense alliances reap the efficiency gains of working together when coordination and opportunism costs are high? Although specializing as part of a collective comes with economic and functional benefits, states must bargain over the distribution of those gains and ensure the costs of collective action are minimized.

Adaptive Optical Layers: Efficient Tall Cell Grids for Liquid Simulation
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Tall cell grids have been proposed as an efficient approach to accelerate large‐scale liquid simulation. In this framework, regions near the liquid surface are discretized with regular grids, while regions farther away are represented by elongated rectangular cells.

Static recrystallization of shocked calcite in Ries impact breccias
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract Calcite is prone to chemical and microstructural modifications, especially after having been strained at high stresses and strain rates, as during hypervelocity impact events. These modifications include precipitation from pore fluid as well as replacement of strained volumes by recrystallization. In calcite aggregates of a metagranite breccia
