Dynamic Supercooled Crystal–Gels for Ultrafast, Reversible Mechanical Adaptative Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A dynamic supercooled crystal–gel mimics starfish tissue by storing non‐equilibrium energy in a metastable liquid. A gentle touch triggers templated crystallization, producing a 2596‐fold stiffness increase with negligible volume change. The lattice disintegrates reversibly under humidity or warmth.

Why Is Law Enforcement Decentralized? [PDF]

open access: yes
Law enforcement is decentralized. It is so despite documented interjurisdictional externalities which would justify its centralization. To explain this fact, we construct a political economy model of law enforcement.

Negative Gauge Factor Piezoresistance in Soft Strain and Pressure Sensors: Mechanisms, Materials, and Emerging Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Negative‐gauge‐factor materials reverse the usual rule of piezoresistive sensing: their resistance falls, rather than rises, under deformation. This review organizes such behavior into four mechanistic classes spanning intrinsic semiconductors, composites, conducting polymers, and engineered architectures.

LAW ENFORCEMENT UNDER INCOMPLETE LAW: Theory and Evidence from Financial Market Regulation [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper studies the design of law-making and law enforcement institutions based on the premise that law is inherently incomplete. Under incomplete law, law enforcement by courts may suffer from deterrence failure, defined as the socialwelfare loss ...

Updatable Closed‐Form Evaluation of Arbitrarily Complex Multiport Network Connections

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
The inverse design of electrically large wave devices often uses reduced‐order multiport models with discrete optimization, requiring many evaluations of complex interconnections between subsystems that differ only in a few blocks. This paper introduces a closed‐form framework enabling efficient Woodbury low‐rank updates of related, previous ...

Crime, Isolation and Law Enforcement.

open access: yes, 2004
This paper investigates the relationship between criminal activity and geographical isolation. Using data from Madagascar, we show that, after we control for population composition and risk factors, crime increases with distance from urban centres and, with few exceptions, decreases with population density.
