Multi-Utilitarianism in Two-Agent Quasilinear Social Choice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
We introduce a new class of rules for resolving quasilinear social choice problems. These rules extend those of Green. We call such rules multi-utilitarian rules.

Monotonic computation rules for nonassociative calculus

open access: yes, 2020
In this paper we revisit the so-called computation rules for calculus using a single nonassociative binary operation over possibly infinite sequences of integers. In this paper we focus on the symmetric maximum that is an extension of the usual maximum ∨ so that 0 is the neutral element, and −x is the symmetric (or inverse) of x, i.e., x (−x) = 0 ...

Reconciling OWL and Non-monotonic Rules for the Semantic Web [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We propose a description logic extending SROIQ (the description logic underlying OWL 2 DL) and at the same time encompassing some of the most prominent monotonic and nonmonotonic rule languages, in particular Datalog extended with the answer set semantics.

Fermi Surface Nesting and Anomalous Hall Effect in Magnetically Frustrated Mn2PdIn

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Mn2PdIn, a frustrated inverse Heusler alloy, showing electronic‐structure driven anomalous Hall effect with Weyl crossings, Fermi‐surface nesting and near‐zero magnetization ideal for low‐magnetization spintronics. Abstract Noncollinear magnets with near‐zero net magnetization and nontrivial bulk electronic topology hold significant promise for ...

Nash implementable domains for the Borda count [PDF]

open access: yes
We characterize the preference domains on which the Borda count satisfies Maskin monotonicity. The basic concept is the notion of a "cyclic permutation domain" which arises by fixing one particular ordering of alternatives and including all its cyclic ...

Monotonicity and Competitive Equilibrium in Cake-cutting

open access: yes, 2018
We study the monotonicity properties of solutions in the classic problem of fair cake-cutting --- dividing a heterogeneous resource among agents with different preferences.

Functional Materials for Environmental Energy Harvesting in Smart Agriculture via Triboelectric Nanogenerators

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This review explores functional and responsive materials for triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) in sustainable smart agriculture. It examines how particulate contamination and dirt affect charge transfer and efficiency. Environmental challenges and strategies to enhance durability and responsiveness are outlined, including active functional layers ...

Monotonicity Violations by Borda’s Elimination and Nanson’s Rules: A Comparison

open access: yesGroup Decision and Negotiation, 2018
This paper compares the vulnerability of Borda Elimination Rule (BER) and of Nanson Elimination Rule (NER) to monotonicity paradoxes under both fixed and variable electorates. It is shown that while NER is totally immune and BER is vulnerable to monotonicity failure in 3-candidate elections, neither of these two rules dominates the other in n-candidate

Liquid Metals as Initiators of Free‐Radical Polymerization of Hydrogels: A Perspective

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Gallium‐based liquid metals initiate free radical polymerization to form hydrogels without the use of toxic molecular initiators. In addition to initiating polymerization, they can act as crosslinkers, yielding softer, more extensible, and tougher hydrogels than those formed with conventional initiators.

c-theorem and improvement in non-compact conformal field theories

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics
Energy-momentum tensor in general conformal field theories have improvement ambiguity and it can affect the argument in deriving c-theorem. While the derivation of Zamolodchikov’s c-theorem is still formally valid with the improved energy-momentum tensor,
