Equilibrium Propagation for Dissipative Dynamics
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This work develops local learning rules for damped linear dynamical systems, including mechanical structures and resistor‐inductor‐capacitor (RLC) circuits, by leveraging an effective action formulation. It demonstrates how physical systems can autonomously compute gradients and learn temporal patterns, enabling applications such as sound ...

Public sector decentralization and school performance: International evidence [PDF]
Using a panel of international student test scores 1980 – 2000 (PISA and TIMSS), panel fixed effects estimates suggest that government spending decentralization is conducive to student performance. The effect does not appear to be mediated through levels

Decentralization in education : an economic perspective [PDF]
Evaluating decentralization in terms of three economic criteria - social efficiency, technical efficiency, and equity - the paper argues that some decisionmaking (about finance and teacher recruitment) should be provided for at the local level, and some (

Fiscal decentralization for poverty reduction in Asia: opportunities, challenges and policy issues [PDF]
The increasing popularity of decentralization has been due to political imperatives and the economic rationale of improving the efficiency of the allocation of resources and the responsiveness of policymaking to local needs and preferences.

Dual‐Channel Interdigitated Aptamer‐Based Sensors for Rapid Small‐Molecule Detection in Biofluids
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.An electrochemical aptamer sensing chip employs dual interdigitated electrodes and selective self‐assembled monolayer removal to convert small‐molecule recognition into robust “signal‐off/on” responses. This dual‐channel signal conversion minimizes background noise and accelerates probe diffusion, enabling rapid (as fast as 5–30 min), low‐volume ...

Constitutions, Regulations, and Taxes: Contradictions of Different Aspects of Decentralization
The paper confronts different aspects of decentralization: fiscal decentralization, post-constitutional regulatory decentralization, and constitutional decentralization – using a single dataset from Russian Federation of the Yeltsin period as a ...
