Centralised by Design: Anglocentric Constitutionalism, Accountability and the Failure of English Devolution

The Political Quarterly, Volume 96, Issue 1, Page 189-198, January/March 2025.
Abstract The Labour manifesto in this year's election implied a radical restructuring of the UK state, the way in which England is governed and in relations across the United Kingdom. The aim of making English devolution the ‘default option’ is set against fifty years of unsuccessful and partial devolution initiatives which have failed to reverse the ...

Discovering uncertainty: Gaussian constitutive neural networks with correlated weights [PDF]

arXiv
When characterizing materials, it can be important to not only predict their mechanical properties, but also to estimate the probability distribution of these properties across a set of samples. Constitutive neural networks allow for the automated discovery of constitutive models that exactly satisfy physical laws given experimental testing data, but ...

To understand which aspects of the coronation are constitutionally significant—and which are better understood as the product of tradition or novel approaches—this article examines how three types of unwritten rules structure the ceremony: conventions ...

Learning Memory and Material Dependent Constitutive Laws [PDF]

arXiv
We propose and study a neural operator framework for learning memory- and material microstructure-dependent constitutive laws for heterogeneous materials. We work in the two-scale setting where homogenization theory provides a systematic approach to deriving macroscale constitutive laws, obviating the need to resolve complex microstructure repeatedly ...

Good Chaps and Guardrails: Backstopping Democracy with a Reverse Salisbury Convention for the House of Lords

The Political Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract The ‘good chaps’ theory of government relies on officeholders understanding and adhering to implicit lines preventing corruption and abuse of power. Boris Johnson's prime ministership showed some weaknesses in this approach. Recent global experience, especially with the re‐election of Donald Trump, suggests the UK may need stronger backstops ...

Abstract Generations of citizens have successfully used civil disobedience to enact positive lasting change in their societies. In some places, such as the UK and elsewhere, it is considered a ‘tradition’. But recent instances of civil disobedience—especially in relation to UK climate campaigners—have brought forward numerous challenges, some of which ...

The Second Law as a constraint and admitting the approximate nature of constitutive assumptions [PDF]

arXiv
A scheme for treating the Second Law of thermodynamics as a constraint and accounting for the approximate nature of constitutive assumptions in continuum thermomechanics is discussed. An unconstrained, concave, variational principle is designed for solving the resulting mathematical problem.
