Complementarity in alliances: How strategic compatibility and hierarchy promote efficient cooperation in international security

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract How can defense alliances reap the efficiency gains of working together when coordination and opportunism costs are high? Although specializing as part of a collective comes with economic and functional benefits, states must bargain over the distribution of those gains and ensure the costs of collective action are minimized.

4. Jeremy Bentham and Utilitarianism

open access: yes, 1958
Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832) is the lst Englishman with whom we shall deal in this chapter. His life spanned the years from the Enlightenment almost up to the Victorian Age (1837-1901).

On Measuring Accurate 21-cm Line Profiles with the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope

open access: yes, 2009
We use observational data to show that 21 cm line profiles measured with the Green Bank Telescope (GBT) are subject to significant inaccuracy. These include ~10% errors in the calibrated gain and significant contribution from distant sidelobes.

Diagnosis of penile cancer with ex vivo fluorescence confocal microscopy using the Histolog® Scanner

open access: yesBJU International, EarlyView.
Objectives To evaluate the feasibility and diagnostic performance of ex vivo fluorescence confocal microscopy (FCM) using the Histolog® Scanner (SamanTree Medical SA, Lausanne, Switzerland) for the assessment of penile cancer (PeCa) specimens, and to compare FCM‐based diagnoses with standard formalin‐fixed, paraffin‐embedded (FFPE) histopathology ...

Research study on stabilization and control: Modern sampled-data control theory. Design of the large space telescope system [PDF]

open access: yes
Conditions of self-sustained oscillations in a two-axis model of the nonlinear LST system are studied. The describing function of the CMG frictional nonlinearity of the LST system is used for the analysis, as well as continuous-data and discrete-data ...

Investigating Land Surface Temperature (LST) Change Using the LST Change Detection Technique (Gomishan District, Iran)

open access: yes, 2018
Monitoring variations in the spectral reflectance of thermal bands of Landsat data provide land surface temperature information of earth’s surface features. This research tried to examine the variations of Land surface temperature (LST) from 1987 to 2017 at the Gomishan district and its soundings in Iran.

Characterization of LST Z Plane Signals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) used to detect muons in the BaBar detector are losing efficiency and are being replaced by Limited Streamer Tubes. Z planes are a component of the detector that gathers detects muons. It is desired to know how Z signals vary from across the plane. Using an Oscilloscope and Scintillator triggers, the output signals of
