Multi‐Functional ZnO–Te Heterojunction Devices Enabling Compact Frequency Quadrupler

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Wafer‐scale ZnO–Te heterojunction devices featuring tunable double negative differential transconductance (D‐NDT) are demonstrated at ≤ 200°C. Leveraging this unique characteristic, a single‐stage frequency quadrupler is realized, achieving a 64%–75% reduction in device count.

Defining Genetic Determinism: Three Old Concepts, One New Problem and a Modest Proposal

Teorie vědy
In this paper, I assess whether certain concepts of genetic causation, namely, the “gene for a trait,” norm of reaction and heritability can capture a feasible version of genetic determinism in the postgenomic era.

Freedom From Responsibility: Agent-Neutral Consequentialism and the Bodhisattva Ideal [PDF]

, 2016
This paper argues that influential Mahāyāna ethicists, such as Śāntideva, who allow for moral rules to be proscribed under the expediency of a compassionate aim, seriously compromise the very notion of moral responsibility.

Is Time Travel Too Strange to Be Possible? Determinism and Indeterminism on Closed Timelike Curves

, 2017
Notoriously, the Einstein equations of general relativity have solutions in which closed timelike curves (CTCs) occur. On these curves time loops back onto itself, which has exotic consequences.

Expectations of Causal Determinism in Causal Learning

, 2022
Causal learning is shaped by people’s prior beliefs, including their expectations. In this paper, we specifically examine expectations of determinism: do they vary with perceptual features of physical causal events, and how do they influence subsequent causal learning from data?

Real‐Time 3D Ultrasound Imaging with an Ultra‐Sparse, Low Power Architecture

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This article presents a novel, ultra‐sparse ultrasound architecture that paves the way for wearable real‐time 3D imaging. By integrating a unique convolutional array with chirped data acquisition, the system achieves high‐resolution volumetric scans at a fraction of the power and hardware complexity.

CAUSALITY and DETERMINISM IN ECONOMICS [PDF]

Scottish Journal of Political Economy, 1994
A great deal of recent methodological discussion in economics and econometrics has been dominated by the question of the appropriate role of the concepts of causality and determinism. This paper traces the evolution of these two notions in recent economics literature, and seeks to appraise the current range of professional opinion.

3D Soft Hydrogels Induce Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells “Deep” Quiescence

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Three‐dimensional soft hydrogels mimicking the bone marrow niche induce deep quiescence in human mesenchymal stem cells. Unlike 2D culture, 3D matrices halt proliferation, regulate cell‐cycle and quiescence markers, and downregulate mTORC1 signaling, preserving stem cell phenotype and therapeutic potential ex vivo.

Freedom of the Will and No-Self in Buddhism [PDF]

, 2018
The Buddha, unlike the Upaniṣadic or Brahmanical way, has avoided the concept of the self, and it seems to be left with limited conceptual possibilities for free will and moral responsibility.

Opportunities of Semiconducting Oxide Nanostructures as Advanced Luminescent Materials in Photonics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The review discusses the challenges of wide and ultrawide bandgap semiconducting oxides as a suitable material platform for photonics. They offer great versatility in terms of tuning microstructure, native defects, doping, anisotropy, and micro‐ and nano‐structuring. The review focuses on their light emission, light‐confinement in optical cavities, and
