Sovereign natural disaster insurance for developing countries : a paradigm shift in catastrophe risk financing [PDF]
Economic theory suggests that countries should ignore uncertainty for public investment and behave as if indifferent to risk because they can pool risks to a much greater extent than private investors can. This paper discusses the general economic theory

Conformal Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces: A Cylindrical Geometry Perspective
Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.Cylindrical reconfigurable intelligent surfaces are explored for low‐complexity beam steering using one‐bit meta‐atoms. A multi‐level modeling approach, including optimization‐based synthesis, demonstrates that even minimal hardware can support directive scattering.
