Granger inspired testing the ISDs for possible causal relationships [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Arjan de Haan and his co-authors are keen to use the ISS Indicators of Social Development (hereafter the ISDs) to show how institutional structuration processes can cause improvements in human well-being, including economic growth (de Haan et al, 2011 ...

Controlled Triazine‐Based Covalent Functionalization of Black Phosphorus for Degradable Hybrid Materials

open access: yesSmall, Volume 22, Issue 34, 17 June 2026.
A scalable triazine‐based covalent functionalization strategy of black phosphorus nanosheets provides controlled P‐N surface chemistry with enhanced grafting density in the presence of a phase‐transfer catalyst. As a representative example, BP‐sulfated polymer conjugates exhibit strong in vitro antiviral activity against enveloped viruses and ...

An ISDS Carve-Out to Support Action on Climate Change

open access: yes, 2015
How should a multilateral agreement on climate change include a safeguard against risks of investor-state dispute resolution (ISDS) lawsuits targeting climate change action by governments?

Thermal Operational Stability in Organic Thin Film Transistors: The Critical Role of Interface Composition and Deposition Conditions

open access: yesSmall Methods, Volume 10, Issue 12, 23 June 2026.
Operational thermal stability in organic thin‐film transistors is engineered through interfacial chemistry and deposition temperature. By pairing F10‐SiPc with different surface treatments and tuning substrate temperature during deposition, distinct transport regimes emerge, ranging from crystalline, trap‐prone behavior to reversible, thermally ...

Power in international trade politics: is ISDS a solution in search of a problem?

open access: yes, 2017
This article examines the controversial investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) mechanisms in recent mega-free trade agreement. Below, I examine the origins of the ISDS concept and outline the controversy surrounding its use in the context of the ...

An Efficient and Dependable UAV-Assisted Code Dissemination in 5G-Enabled Industrial IoT

open access: yesIEEE Open Journal of the Communications Society
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has infiltrated our culture and is gaining traction in a variety of industrial applications. All of this is made possible by the use of 5G-connected massive Intelligent Sensing Devices (ISDs) and software-defined ...

Season and human footprint weaken the negative effect of temperature on the intraspecific metabolic scaling exponent of wild brown trout populations

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 6, Page 989-1001, June 2026.
We apply a new parameterized model through linking metabolic scaling and the maximum entropy theory of ecology to quantify the intraspecific metabolic scaling exponent of brown trout populations and assess the main drivers shaping the exponent. Abstract Metabolic scaling fundamentally sets the pace of life in almost all organisms.

Temperature and Resource Supply Drive Continental Variation in Size Structure of Freshwater Food Webs

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 6, June 2026.
Biological communities exhibit a consistent negative scaling between body size and abundance, yet how this relationship responds to warming remains unclear. Using ~670,000 individual body‐size measurements from stream food webs, we show that temperature effects on size structure depend strongly on resource supply, with warming leading to less negative ...

Labor costs and firms’ internal spatial distributions: evidence from China

open access: yesManagement System Engineering
Resource allocation within firms is essential for their growth. We investigate how labor costs affect firms’ internal spatial distributions (ISDs) by using Chinese administrative data.
