Hiding in Plain Sight. Amy Suo Wu’s The Kandinsky

Inmaterial, 2017
The history of 20th century painting conventionally identifies abstraction with modernism and the return of figuration with postmodernism. But abstraction ended much earlier, in a spy operation during World War II, when a British intelligence officer, in

Effects of the Deployment and Departure of UN Peacekeeping Operations on Foreign Direct Investment

Journal of International Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Do United Nations peacekeeping operations (UNPKOs) foster foreign direct investment (FDI) in host countries over time? I argue that the deployment of UNPKOs increases FDI by signaling credibility in peace and the rule of law. However, once peacekeepers depart, uncertainty regarding political stability, due to premature withdrawal and ...

Promoting Fun or Competition? Testing Interventions on Ludic and Agonistic Work Design

Journal of Organizational Behavior, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Research highlights the benefits of play‐at‐work, yet little is known about training employees to self‐initiate it. We tested two programs to train employees on designing work with elements of fun (ludic work design [LWD]) or competition (agonistic work design [AWD]).

Strategies and Process of Trade Secret Misappropriation Mitigation: The Case of UK

Strategic Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Trade Secrets (TS) are vital for innovation‐driven companies, and their loss can inflict significant financial and reputational damage, particularly in the absence of established policies to mitigate misappropriation in the UK. The current academic literature lacks detailed strategies for firms to effectively address these threats.

Extending Tlusty's method to the glycome: Tuning the repertoire of glycan determinants [PDF]

, 2011
We apply Tlusty's information-theoretic analysis of the genetic code to the glycome, using a cognitive paradigm in which external information sources constrain and tune the glycan code error network, in the context of available metabolic energy. The

Suffix conjugates for a class of morphic subshifts

, 2013
Let A be a finite alphabet and f: A^* --> A^* be a morphism with an iterative fixed point f^\omega(\alpha), where \alpha{} is in A. Consider the subshift (X, T), where X is the shift orbit closure of f^\omega(\alpha) and T: X --> X is the shift map.

Social Vulnerability Index as a Tool to Evaluate the Distribution of Head and Neck Oncology Surgeons

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study examines the geographic distribution of head and neck oncology surgeons in the U.S. and its association with neighborhood‐level social determinants of health using the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI). Findings indicate that higher social vulnerability within specific themes of social determinants of health correlates with increased ...

NeuroMorse: a temporally structured dataset for neuromorphic computing

Neuromorphic Computing and Engineering
Neuromorphic engineering aims to advance computing by mimicking the brain’s efficient processing, where data is encoded as asynchronous temporal events. This eliminates the need for a synchronisation clock and minimises power consumption when no data is ...

Recent Advances in Stimuli‐Responsive Conductive Hydrogels for Smart Sensing and Actuation: Properties, Design Strategies, and Applications

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Conductive hydrogels are a class of multifunctional composites constructed by introducing conductive components into a three‐dimensional polymer network, combining the high water‐content, stretchability, and biocompatibility of traditional hydrogels.

Geodesic laminations revisited

, 2006
The Bratteli diagram is an infinite graph which reflects the structure of projections in a C*-algebra. We prove that every strictly ergodic unimodular Bratteli diagram of rank 2g+m-1 gives rise to a minimal geodesic lamination with the m-component ...
