Strategic Information Suppression in Borrowing and Pre-Lending Cognition: Theory and Evidence

Games, 2023
This paper theoretically studies the interaction between an informed borrower and an uninformed lender facing possible default of a loan application. The lender is motivated to invest cognitive resources before making a lending decision.

Trions as Fundamental Species in Chemically Doped Polymer Semiconductors

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This work shows that exciton–charge carrier coupling in doped polymer semiconductors gives rise to multi‐particle states, including trions—quasiparticles consisting of two holes and one electron under p‐doping—and bound exciton‐hole pairs, as identified through spectroscopic and theoretical analysis.

Investigating the Role of Microcredit on Agricultural Output in Rural-Bangladesh [PDF]

Annals of the University of Craiova for Journalism, Communication and Management
Microcredit or Microfinance is being considered as one of the investment-sources for local farmers who want to cultivate their land. It is highly difficult for local-farmers to collect fund for field-level investment, these farmers select micro-credit ...

Microfabrication of Soft Millirobots Propelled by Low Voltage Electrohydraulic Actuators

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Manual layer‐by‐layer assembly is replaced by wafer‐level MEMS batch fabrication for compliant polymer‐based electrohydraulic actuators. The microfabricated devices integrate sacrificially defined microcavities, Parylene‐C‐sealed inlets, and multilayer polymer–metal films.

Nanoscale Optical Inhomogeneities From Compositional Segregation Within Individual GaN‐on‐Si Quantum Wells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work visualizes local variations in luminescence and relates them to nanoscale chemical inhomogeneities in single InxGa1−xN quantum wells. We demonstrate that the elemental segregation is only inherent to quantum wells with high indium content. Density functional theory shows this to be the result of strain‐induced phase stabilization, explaining ...

Generation and Enhancement of Persistent Nanoscale Magnetization in All‐Dielectric Metasurfaces by Optically Injected and Localized Free Carriers

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Infrared metasurface‐guided waves (IR‐MGW) scattered by a time interface (TI) induced by rapid, localized free‐carrier generation can be efficiently rectified to generate strong, persistent magnetic fields. We develop a rigorous, theoretical model to study a time‐varying, dispersive medium and uncover the redistribution of the initial energy of the IR ...

TAB2 Causes Neuronal Damage by Aggravating Microglia‐Mediated Neuroinflammation in Parkinson's Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In microglia, STAT3 upregulates TAB2, which promotes NF‐κB activation through its NZF domain‐mediated recognition of K63‐linked ubiquitin chains, leading to inflammatory cytokine release and subsequent neuronal injury. Lumacaftor suppresses TAB2 expression and directly binds the TAB2‐NZF domain to interrupt K63 ubiquitin recognition, thereby blocking ...

Leveraging Microphysiological Systems to Facilitate Neutrophil‐Based Cancer Immunotherapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Microphysiological systems are emerging as powerful human‐relevant platforms for studying neutrophil biology in cancer. Current applications of spheroids, organoids, and organ‐on‐a‐chip models are reviewed, together with future opportunities in behaviorome profiling, multi‐omics integration, personalized medicine, immune crosstalk, and multi‐organ ...

Market structure and borrower welfare in microfinance [PDF]

, 2018
Motivated by recent controversies surrounding the role of commercial lenders in microfinance, and calls for regulation of the sector, we analyse borrower welfare under different market structures, considering a benevolent non‐profit lender, a for‐profit ...
