Certificate of need laws: a systematic review and cost-effectiveness analysis
BMC Health Services Research, 2020 Background Certificate of Need (CON) laws, currently in place in 35 US states, require certain health care providers to obtain a certification of their economic necessity from a state board before opening or undertaking a major expansion.

Nonreciprocal Swarmalators With Reconfigurable and Controllable Formations for Robot Collectives
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Nonreciprocal swarmalator interactions are enabled through control barrier functions to transform self‐organizing robot collectives into reconfigurable, constraint‐aware systems. Complex two‐ and three‐dimensional shapes, continuous morphing, obstacle‐aware navigation, collective splitting, and object transport emerge from modulating agent‐level ...

Representing Neighborhood Health: Exploring Citizen Science as a Democratic Force
Citizen Science: Theory and PracticeIn discussions about citizen science (CS), scholars have considered CS as not only a tool to produce better science, but also a democratizing practice allowing for new definitions of public problems. Inspired by science and technology studies, we present

Review of Economics and Statistics, 2000 This paper considers the relationship between inequality and crime using data from urban counties. The behavior of property and violent crime are quite different. Inequality has no effect on property crime but a strong and robust impact on violent crime, with an elasticity above 0.5.

Efficient Polarization‐Entangled Photon‐Pair Generation by a Fiber‐In‐Line van der Waals Material
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Telecom‐wavelength polarization‐entangled photon pairs are generated in a van der Waals‐material‐integrated all‐fiber device via spontaneous parametric down‐conversion. The demonstrated fiberized quantum light source bridges emerging 2D nonlinear materials and practical quantum photonic systems, opening new opportunities for scalable fiber‐based ...

IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 2014 Information theoretical inequalities have strong ties with polymatroids and their representability. A polymatroid is entropic if its rank function is given by the Shannon entropy of the subsets of some discrete random variables. The book is a special iterated adhesive extension of a polymatroid with the property that entropic polymatroids have $n$-page
