Register‐Efficient Linear‐Time Evaluation in the Bernstein Basis
Abstract We investigate the evaluation of points and derivatives of Bézier curves and surfaces on modern architectures, focusing on performance and guided by numerical error bounds. While the de Casteljau algorithm remains the reference for numerical robustness, its linear working‐set size imposes substantial register pressure on GPUs.

Bioethics and the World Order: A Curious Coincidence Between Chinese and African Approaches
ABSTRACT The post‐1945 world order is standardly pictured as a Westphalian system, in which each state is equal under the law with sovereign authority over its territories. This paper argues that the Westphalian system is changing and examines the implications for bioethics. We show that cross‐border health, economic, ecologic, and sociopolitical risks

Irish regional GDP since independence
Abstract This paper constructs the first long‐run estimates of Irish regional gross domestic product (GDP) over the twentieth century and traces the relative economic performance of Ireland's regions since independence. Using an array of data sources available at a county level, output in agriculture, industry, and services in benchmark census years is
