Intelligent Reflecting Surface-Aided Radar Spoofing [PDF]
Electronic countermeasure (ECM) technology plays a critical role in modern electronic warfare, which can interfere with enemy radar detection systems by noise or deceptive signals. However, the conventional active jamming strategy incurs additional hardware and power costs and has the potential threat of exposing the target itself.

Defined‐benefit pension plan funding: Does managerial ability matter?
Abstract We examine the impact of managerial ability on defined‐benefit pension plans in US firms and find that plan funding levels increase with their sponsors' managerial ability. The finding is robust to various model specifications and control for endogeneity.

Can norm‐based information campaigns reduce corruption?
Abstract Can norm‐based information campaigns reduce corruption? Such campaigns use messaging about how people typically behave (descriptive norms) or ought to behave (injunctive norms). Drawing on survey and lab experiments in Ukraine, we unpack and evaluate the distinct effects of these two types of social norms.

Empirical realism and democratic equality
Abstract Recently, empirical political scientists have challenged presuppositions about voter behavior that they take to be widespread in normative democratic theory, charging that democratic theory is unmoored from empirical reality. For their part, many normative democratic theorists have rejected empiricists’ characterizations of their subfield and ...

La femme fait la maison: The Accumulation of Surplus Value through Family Planning in Burkina Faso1
Abstract Since the 1960s, demographers, international donors, and governments have calculated the political, economic, and social benefits of modern contraception usage in West Africa. We evidence how family planning technologies (FPTs) that are tethered to population development extract double value (productive and reproductive labour) from Burkinabè ...

Godfrey Bingley was a British industrialist who took up geology, photography and travel in the 1880s. His photographs are housed at the University of Leeds, where he worked with its Chair of Geology. This article analyses the archive's projection of the imperial geological imaginary that emanated from Britain and extended to the Americas.
