On the Disentanglement of an Economic Union

open access: yesJournal of Regional Science, Volume 66, Issue 1, Page 244-269, January 2026.
ABSTRACT We study how the unilateral withdrawal of a region from an economic union affects the spatial distribution of economic activity and social welfare. We explore a three‐region economic geography model under the assumption that this withdrawal can be expressed as a higher transportation cost between the leaving party and the remaining union ...

Environmentally induced Quantum Dynamical Phase Transition in the spin swapping operation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Quantum Information Processing relies on coherent quantum dynamics for a precise control of its basic operations. A swapping gate in a two-spin system exchanges the degenerate states |+,-> and |-,+>.

Austempering Post‐Intercritical Austenitizing to Enhance Mechanical Properties of an Oil Country Tubular Goods Steel

open access: yessteel research international, Volume 96, Issue 12, Page 211-227, December 2025.
A new austempering approach following intercritical austenitizing is explored to improve the mechanical behavior of API 5CT steel. By tailoring ferrite–bainite microstructures, the process achieves a balance of strength and ductility without the need for post‐quench tempering. The results highlight a cost‐effective alternative to conventional quenching

Characterisation of multiple substrate-specific (d)ITP/(d)XTPase and modelling of deaminated purine nucleotide metabolism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
To be viable, organisms possess a number of (deoxy)nucleotide phosphohydrolases, which hydrolyze these nucleotides removing them from the active NTP and dNTP pools. Deamination of purine bases can result in accumulation of such nucleotides as ITP, dITP,

Latapi’s Lepromatosis (Lucio’s leprosy) without Lucio’s phenomenon in a pubertal boy

open access: yesLeprosy Review, 2009
A diagnosis of Latapi’s lepromatosis (Lucio’s leprosy) is usually established in the setting of Lucio’s phenomenon. The report by Diogenes et al. showed that Latapi’s lepromatosis can be diagnosed in the absence of Lucio’s phenomenon. Our clinical experience with 30 patients with Lucio’s phenomenon and Latapi’s lepromatosis has indicated what features ...

Genetic Variation and Quantitative Trait Loci Analysis of the Maize Ionome in Response to Phosphorus Fertilisation

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, Volume 48, Issue 12, Page 8727-8742, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Improving the nutritional quality of crops is crucial for human health, livestock, and agricultural productivity, especially on nutrient‐limited soils. To address this, we investigated the variation and the genetic basis of mineral content, including, among others, calcium, iron, phosphorus, and zinc, in a diverse panel of maize (Zea mays L ...

A utilitarian antagonist: the zombie in popular video games [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
This article takes as its starting point the prevalence of the zombie in video games. I argue that, although the zombie games often superficially resemble filmic texts in their use of aesthetic and narrative, they must be understood, less as a set of ...

Within‐School Wealth Inequality and Learning Achievement: Evidence From PISA

open access: yesReview of Income and Wealth, Volume 71, Issue 4, November 2025.
ABSTRACT A large body of literature has documented a strong economic gradient of educational outcomes, with pupils from richer households obtaining, on average, better outcomes than pupils from poorer households. However, there is surprisingly very little evidence on the role of aggregate economic inequality on individual educational attainment, once ...
