Harnessing Outer Space for Improved Electrocaloric Cooling
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A novel radiative heat sink/source‐integrated electrocaloric (R‐iEC) system combines the electrocaloric (EC) effect with a thermally conductive radiative cooler (TCRC) to address heat dissipation limitations in EC devices. Utilizing outer space as a heat sink, the system achieves up to 240 W m−2 of heat dissipation performance, making it highly ...

E-democracy and values in information systems design [PDF]
, 2012 In this paper I demonstrate the utility of a Values in Design (VID) perspective for the assessment, the design and development of e-democracy tools. In the first part, I give some background information on Values in Design and Value-Sensitive Design and ...

Democracy, Democracies and Democracy Discourses in Nepal: An Anthropologist’s Engagement
Dhaulagiri Journal of Sociology and Anthropology, 2014 Democracy is conceptualized and practiced differently in different times and places; and may exist in various forms and levels with various degrees and dimensions. Therefore the use of the word “democracy” occurs neither alone, nor steadily, nor completely; it is, “historically” and “ethnographically emergent”.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This paper introduces a flexible neural probe with integrated micro‐OLEDs on a flexible substrate for the first time, featuring 8 micro‐OLEDs and recording electrodes for optogenetics. It uses advanced encapsulation and an IAI anode for durability, emitting 470 nm light for ChR2 activation, enabling high‐resolution, minimally invasive stimulation ...

Using NLP to measure democracy [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 This paper uses natural language processing to create the first machine-coded democracy index, which I call Automated Democracy Scores (ADS). The ADS are based on 42 million news articles from 6,043 different sources and cover all independent countries in the 1993-2012 period.

The Instrumental Value Arguments for National Self-Determination [PDF]
, 2019 David Miller argues that national identity is indispensable for the successful functioning of a liberal democracy. National identity makes important contributions to liberal democratic institutions, including creating incentives for the fulfilment of ...

Electric Pulse Regulated MXene Based Nanozymes for Integrative Bioelectricity Immuno‐Cancer Therapy
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.MXenzyme‐mediated bioelectricity cancer therapy (MXenzyme‐BECT) enhances cancer cell death through irreversible depolarization, ion channel disruption, ROS generation, and immunogenic cell death. Computational simulations reveal the electrical mechanisms by which MXenzyme acts on single cells and support to predict treatment parameters. Next‐generation

Iterative Delegations in Liquid Democracy with Restricted Preferences [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 In this paper, we study liquid democracy, a collective decision making paradigm which lies between direct and representative democracy. One main feature of liquid democracy is that voters can delegate their votes in a transitive manner so that: A delegates to B and B delegates to C leads to A delegates to C. Unfortunately, this process may not converge
