Advanced Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Current prostate cancer detection methods remain limited in non‐invasiveness and specificity, prompting interest in urinary biomarkers such as sarcosine. Here, we report a urine‐powered wearable platform for non‐invasive sarcosine detection as a proof‐of‐concept for decentralized early warning.

What we talk about when we talk about decentralization? Insights from post-revolution Tunisia
L’Année du Maghreb, 2017 This article explores the language of decentralization policies in post-revolution Tunisia. It argues that international financial institutions mobilize a particular language about decentralization to create new clients and reinvent themselves in a ...

D$^2$: Decentralized Training over Decentralized Data
CoRR, 2018 While training a machine learning model using multiple workers, each of which collects data from their own data sources, it would be most useful when the data collected from different workers can be {\em unique} and {\em different}. Ironically, recent analysis of decentralized parallel stochastic gradient descent (D-PSGD) relies on the assumption that ...

On the dangers of decentralization [PDF]
The author highlights some of the dangers of decentralizations. The benefits of decentralization in allocative efficiency are not as obvious as suggested by the standard theory of fiscal federalism. The assumptions of this theory are fragile.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A rotational energy harvesting device that successfully reconciles high power density with mechanical durability through a hybrid sliding‐and‐bouncing kinematic mechanism is reported. The success reported in our paper includes addressing a dilemma where enhanced electrical output comes at the cost of increased friction and wear, limiting the practical ...

Decentralized aid and democracy
INVESTIGACION & DESARROLLO, 2017 This paper uses a model of vote over public finances to show that when nongovernmental organisations deliver development aid, beneficiaries have incentives to reduce electoral support for state-led redistribution. As a result, NGOs can crowd out governmental spending, turning private aid into a negative externality for the poor who do not directly ...

Measuring Fiscal Decentralization in the Philippines [PDF]
This paper focuses on the fiscal decentralization in the Philippines after the 1991 Local Government Code. It first examines the intergovernmental fiscal relationship between central and local governments by using fiscal decentralization indicators, and ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Inspired by Nitrite reductase, a metal–organic framework overlayer is introduced to regulate the interfacial hydration microenvironment on Cu electrodes, enriching hydrated K+ species that act as efficient proton donors. This strategy enables nitrate‐to‐ammonia conversion with near‐unity selectivity at industrial‐level current densities in neutral ...
