From Empire to Aid: Analysing Persistence of Colonial Legacies in Foreign Aid to Africa
Journal of International Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT For decades now, Western development agencies and donors have been castigated for their colonial biases in providing aid to Africa. It is well established that donors provide considerably more foreign aid to their former colonies relative to other countries.

Computers & Mathematics with Applications, 1997 Nonmonotonic reasoning provides formal methods that enable intelligent systems to operate adequately when faced with incomplete or changing information. In particular, it provides rigorous mechanisms for taking back conclusions that, in the presence of new information, turn out to be wrong and for deriving new, alternative conclusions instead ...

Materials Genome Engineering Advances, EarlyView.Dual‐phase γ‐TiAl alloys with refined twin‐lamellar (RTL) structures exhibit optimal strength‐ductility synergy. Here, phase‐field simulations reveal composition‐stress‐dependent refined twin‐lamellar (RTL) microstructure evolution. Machine learning (CatBoost + NSGA‐III) trained on phase‐field images predicts optimal RTL‐stress‐composition design space.

17O Quadrupole Coupling Constants in Water
Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry, EarlyView.In water clusters, first‐nearest‐neighbor interactions (1A and 1D) provide the largest contribution and are well captured by an additive donor–acceptor scheme, with improved accuracy upon inclusion of hydrogen bond distance dependence. Second nearest neighbor (D and A*) effects introduce smaller but systematic negative corrections, restoring near ...

Heavy‐Metal‐Free Colloidal Quantum Dots for Photocatalysis
Small, EarlyView.Heavy‐metal‐free colloidal quantum dots provide sustainable photocatalytic platforms by combining tunable band structures, strong light absorption, and programmable surfaces/interfaces. This Review highlights how core/shell engineering, alloying, defect regulation, ligand design, and hybrid‐interface construction direct charge separation and ...

Слово.ру: балтийский акцентWe advocate an idea that a necessary condition for a dispute about truth amounts not to the carriers of non-ideal logical thought, but to a variety of approaches to reconstructing the logical form of conditional reasoning, which implies diversification ...

Defeasible Reasoning in Islamic Legal Theory
Informal LogicThere is a common understanding among logicians today that nonmonotonic types of reasoning, such as defeasible or presumptive, can clearly warrant a rational acceptance of its conclusion.
