Decentralization as a disincentive for transnational terror? System stability versus government efficiency: an empirical test [PDF]
Using panel data for a maximum of 109 countries over the years 1976-2000, we empirically analyze the impact of decentralization on the occurrence of transnational terror.

Photon‐to‐Heat Energy Harvesting Fluorescent Protein Coatings for Thermoelectrics
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Fluorescent proteins (FPs) are used in light‐absorbing coatings on thermoelectric generators (TEGs) to convert light into heat and generate electricity. By tuning the properties of FP‐doped polymer matrices, photothermal efficiencies of up to 48% have been achieved.

Does Fiscal Decentralization Dampen All Ethnic Conflicts? The heterogeneous Impact of Fiscal Decentralization on Local Minorities and Local Majorities [PDF]
Fiscal decentralization is widely proposed as an efficient means to accommodate ethnic violence. Yet while most of the econometric cross-country studies supports this view, case studies offer mixed results. In this paper, it is argued that this is partly

In‐Wheel Piezoelectric DC Power Generator With Zero Resistive Torque
Advanced Science, EarlyView.In this paper, we present a wheel‐shaped direct‐current piezoelectric generator (DC‐PG) that fundamentally overcomes these constraints by producing phase‐stable DC electricity directly from rolling motion. By embedding this system into suitcase wheels, we demonstrated a fully integrated real‐time location tracking system powered solely by mechanical ...
