Central Peripheries: Nationhood in Central Asia
, 2021 Central Peripheries explores post-Soviet Central Asia through the prism of nation-building. Although relative latecomers on the international scene, the Central Asian states see themselves as globalized, and yet in spite of – or perhaps precisely because of – this, they hold a very classical vision of the nation-state, rejecting the abolition of ...

Sensitive and Spatially‐Resolved Electrochemiluminescence via Micropatterning
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.The use of a simple silica nanoparticle surface coating and patterning process can transform ordinary gold electrodes into multiplexed ECL sensing electrodes. Through spatially confined droplet formation and local ECL emission, it is possible to perform multiple analyses simultaneously from individual locations as well as intensify the ECL signal by as

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Transducers convert physical signals into electrical and optical representations, yet each mechanism is bounded by intrinsic trade‐offs across bandwidth, sensitivity, speed, and energy. This review maps transduction mechanisms across physical scale and frequency, showing how heterogeneous integration and multiphysics co‐design transform isolated ...

At Home Detection of Ovarian Health Biomarker in Menstruation Blood
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.A lateral flow assay enables the detection of anti‐Müllerian hormone directly in unprocessed menstrual blood using silica‐gold nanoshells and smartphone‐assisted machine learning analysis. The platform supports decentralized, user‐operated testing in wearable and dipstick formats, highlighting the potential of menstrual blood as a non‐invasive matrix ...

Une « muse de province » négocie sa centralité : Corneille et ses lieux
Les Dossiers du GRIHL, 2008 This article studies how Pierre Corneille conducted his carrier in two different places – Rouen and Paris –, while examining what was at stake in the form of polyactivity that structured his professional practices for many years. More generally, the text

Information Transmission Strategies for Self‐Organized Robotic Aggregation
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.In this review, we discuss how information transmission influences the neighbor‐based self‐organized aggregation of swarm robots. We focus specifically on local interactions regarding information transfer and categorize previous studies based on the functions of the information exchanged.

Building Bridges: Heterogeneous Jurisdictions, Endogenous Spillovers, and the Benefits of Decentralization [PDF]
We model two heterogeneous districts of unequal size that may enjoy each other's local public good if a costly national infrastructure (the bridge) is provided. We compare a decentralized regime where local public goods are decided locally and the bridge

Computation of the centralization indexes.
, 2018 Left panel: Lorenz curve (GINI index); Central panel: core-periphery profile (CP index); Right panel: vulnerability profile (VI index). The value of the centralization indexes is the (normalized) area between the curve and the diagonal line.
