InfoMat, EarlyView.Two‐dimensional MA2Z4 such as MoSi2N4 offer a new path to extend transistor scaling beyond the limits of silicon. Due to their exceptional properties, these 2D semiconductors are promising candidates for future Ångström‐scale CMOS technology. This review outlines the computational design and roadmap bridging materials discovery, device design and ...

Positive Freedom and the Social Meaning of Money
Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Semiotic objections to markets hold that buying and selling certain things – for example, sex, body parts, votes, surrogacy services – expresses that those things are fungible with money, which has only profane value. This article offers a more fundamental challenge to semiotic critiques of market.

Q-anonymous social welfare relations on infinite utility streams [PDF]
This paper studies a class of social welfare relations (SWRs) on the set of infinite utility streams. In particular, we examine the SWRs satisfying Q-Anonymity, an impartiality axiom stronger than Finite Anonymity, as well as Strong Pareto and a certain ...

Fairness Versus Welfare: Notes on the Pareto Principle, Preferences, and Distributive Justice [PDF]
In Fairness versus Welfare, we advance the thesis that social policies should be assessed based entirely on their effects on individuals' well-being. This thesis implies that no independent weight should be accorded to notions of fairness (other than ...

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.This study applies stochastic rainfall models combining Markov Chains with gamma and mixed exponential distributions to a semi‐arid climate in Northeast Brazil. Model structures were evaluated using Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC), with maximum likelihood (MLM) for parameter estimation and cumulative distribution functions (CDFs) for validation ...

Stability of generally efficient situation in finite cooperative games with parametric optimality principle ("from Pareto to Nash") [PDF]
Computer Science Journal of Moldova, 2003 A parametric optimality principle (choice function) in a finite cooperative game of several persons is determined. This principle is specified by means of partition of players set into coalitions.

Social Choice Theory and the Informational Basis Approach [PDF]
For over a quarter of a century, the use of utility information based upon interpersonal comparisons has been seen as an escape route from the Arrow Impossibility Theorem. This paper critically examines this informational basis approach to social choice.
