The Inevitability of Law and Economics

Legal Education Review, 1989
Economics is the study of rational behaviour in the face of scarcity. Economics and law are, therefore, inseparable. The legal system, too, is about coping with scarcity.

Creeping Impoverization: Material Conditions, Income Inequality, And ERISA Pedagogy Early In The 21st Century [PDF]

, 2007
This Essay argues that the current trend focusing on the law and economics theory does a disservice to the full-spectrum of legal issues. Law and economics, according to the author, is a value -neutral approach to the law.

Single Solid‐State Ion Channels as Potentiometric Nanosensors

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Single gold nanopores functionalized with mixed self‐assembled monolayers act as solid‐state ion channels for direct, selective potentiometric sensing of inorganic ions (Ag⁺). The design overcomes key miniaturization barriers of conventional ion‐selective electrodes by combining low resistivity with suppressed loss of active components, enabling robust

Exploration and practice of project-based blended teaching mode based on OBE-CDIO concepts-example of “Project Planning and Control” [PDF]

SHS Web of Conferences
At present, there is a discrepancy between the overall goal of cultivating applied talents in the context of new engineering disciplines and the social demand, which leads to the problems of unimpressive student learning outcomes and low employment rate ...

Unveiling the Electrolyte and Solid Electrolyte Interphase in Sodium Ion Batteries: Mechanisms, Progress, and Perspectives

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the recent advances in sodium‐ion battery electrolytes (including organic, aqueous, gel, ionic liquid, and solid‐state types) and their influence on the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). It discusses SEI formation, aging, and optimization, as well as cases where no SEI forms, providing insights into the critical relationship ...

Adaptive Twisting Metamaterials

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This work introduces torque‐controlled twisting metamaterials as a transformative platform for adaptive crashworthiness. By combining multiscale predictive modeling with experimental validation on additively manufactured gyroids, it demonstrates tunable stiffness, collapse stress, and energy absorption.

Heterogeneity of the Dominant Causes of Performance Loss in End‐of‐Life Cathodes and Their Consequences for Direct Recycling

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Direct recyling of Li‐ion battery materials promises a low‐cost path towards a secure domestic supply of critical materials for batteries. Using cathode material from an end‐of‐life commercial Li‐ion cell, this work identifies the primary degradation mechanisms that diminish the performance of directly reused cathode materials and includes a discussion
