Product Safety and Consumer Protection [PDF]

The Modern Law Review, 1995
Whether it is appropriate to use the criminal law to protect consumers from unsafe products has long been the subject of debate. It could be argued that the criminal laws which prohibit the sale of unsafe products are examples of regulatory offences and that such crimes are 'not criminal in any real sense.'2 Such offences usually do not require proof ...

DigiChrom: A Domain Ontology for Semantic Representation of Trivalent Chromium Platings and Its Large Language Model‐Based Alignment With Multiple Mid‐Level Ontologies

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Digitalizing electroplating requires both domain knowledge and interoperability. This work introduces PlatOn, a domain ontology for trivalent chromium plating and coating characterization, and a hybrid pipeline that aligns it to a mid‐level reference ontology by combining eight similarity metrics with language model reasoning. Expert‐validated mappings

Product-Consumer Substitution and Safety Regulation [PDF]

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2017
We develop a theory of safety regulation where product safety and consumer skills are negatively correlated. Demand and supply drive this correlation. Given the option to choose any product, low skill consumers choose safer products. Given the option of selling to any consumer, producers chose to sell riskier products to high skill consumers.

Entropy‐Driven Design of Low‐Melting‐Point Alloys via Compositionally Complex Strategy

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Conventional low‐melting‐point alloys (LMPAs) are limited by a narrow compositional space and inherent property trade‐offs. This review presents an entropy‐driven design strategy that overcomes these limitations, ushering in a new class of low‐melting‐point compositionally complex alloys (LMCCAs).

Multilayered hollow transition metal nitride spheres made from single-source precursors for SERS analytics

Nature Communications
Traditional high-temperature and high-pressure synthesis routes make transition metal nitride (TMN) grains prone to sintering and agglomeration, thus synthesis of architectures with high specific surface area and pore volume is an urgent problem to be ...

Molecular Identification of Chloridea virescens (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae: Heliothinae) Using Real-Time PCR

PhytoFrontiers
The tobacco budworm, Chloridea virescens (Fabricius), is a highly polyphagous pest native to the Americas and is considered a substantial threat to global agriculture, as larval feeding causes significant yield losses. As of 2022, C.
