Low‐Power Control Of Resistance Switching Transitions in First‐Order Memristors
Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.Joule losses are a serious concern in modern integrated circuit design. In this regard, minimizing the energy necessary for programming memristors should be handled with care. This manuscript presents an optimal control framework, allowing to derive energy‐efficient programming voltage protocols for resistance switching devices. Following this approach,

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

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In recent decades, agriculture has become increasingly concentrated through horizontal mergers and acquisitions via corporate entities, and policy makers are concerned this will be exacerbated by the aging population of farm operators. To reduce market concentration in agriculture, many states have enacted policies to entice new prospective ...

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
