A Sensitive Thermoelectric Respiratory Sensor Using a Hollow‐Square Structure of Cubic Silicon Carbide‐Based Heterojunction

Small, EarlyView.
A sensitive self‐powered respiratory sensor is developed using a hollow‐window structure implemented on a 3C‐SiC/Si heterojunction‐based platform. This design enables the manipulation of thermal transport with the heterojunction regulating the flow of thermally generated charge carriers, yielding a significantly higher output thermal voltage than that ...

Decentralized propaganda in the era of digital media: The massive presence of the Chinese state on Douyin

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The rise of social media in the digital era poses unprecedented challenges to authoritarian regimes that aim to influence public attitudes and behaviors. To address these challenges, we argue that authoritarian regimes have adopted a decentralized approach to produce and disseminate propaganda on social media.

Performance analysis of a self-protection system for vehicles in case of WUI fire entrapment [PDF]

, 2019
Sheltering inside a civilian vehicle has proved to be a high risk strategy in case of wildfire entrapment. Survival is by no means guaranteed, especially in moderate to high-intensity wildfires.

The public agglomeration effect: Urban–rural divisions in government efficiency and political preferences

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Why and when do cities vote for the left? The emergence of the urban–rural divide in the United States in the 1930s is inconsistent with canonical theories of cleavages. This paper introduces an explanation: agglomeration effects. The provision of government services is more efficient in urban environments because of nonrivalries, economies of
