From Empire to Aid: Analysing Persistence of Colonial Legacies in Foreign Aid to Africa

Journal of International Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For decades now, Western development agencies and donors have been castigated for their colonial biases in providing aid to Africa. It is well established that donors provide considerably more foreign aid to their former colonies relative to other countries.

Employees' Mitigation of Ambiguous Green Human Resource Management Signals

Strategic Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human resource management (HRM) is increasingly directed at leveraging businesses' environmental strategies. Current research shows how integrating environmental objectives into HRM practices can positively affect an organization's green performance.

Ultra Short Pulse Laser Welding of Glass to Metal in the Low Fluence Regime

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Ultrashortpulse laser welding enables precise joining of glass and metal with minimal thermal damage. We introduce the TwoThresholds Criteria to identify suitable laser parameters by combining the nonlinearabsorption threshold in glass with the metalmodification fluence threshold.

Mean‐Variance Payoff Applied to Stackelberg Games

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We analyse a Stackelberg duopoly in which the leader faces uncertainty about the intercept demand, while the follower observes the realised demand and decides whether to enter the market after the uncertainty is resolved. The leader evaluates the uncertainty by maximising a mean‐variance utility function that captures its risk aversion.

MRI for Mixing Quality in Microfluidics

Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry, EarlyView.
Fluidic mixing in a micromixer: Paramagnetic relaxation enhancement and chemical shift differences were explored to reveal mixing quality at the small dimensions of an optically opaque y‐mixer. ABSTRACT Liquid state processes often involve mixing of process streams.

A Stopped‐Flow Instrument for Millisecond Timescale Reaction Monitoring on a Standard NMR Spectrometer

Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry, EarlyView.
A new stopped‐flow instrument allows kinetic measurements of reactions 10 milliseconds after initiating them by mixing in a flow cell inserted into a standard NMR probe and spectrometer. High‐speed video, pressure and NMR line‐shape data are used to characterise mixing and stopping, and a protodeboronation reaction with a 5‐millisecond half‐life used ...
