Buchanan and the Social Contract: Coordination Failures and the Atrophy of Property Rights

open access: yesSouthern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT James Buchanan advocated that societies should be based on a social contract. He rejected anarchy, seeing it as a “Hobbesian jungle” that calls for government intervention to maintain social order. He also opposed theories of spontaneous order. These views led to debates about the compatibility of Buchanan's works with classical liberalism and

Investigation of Microscopic Nonmetallic Inclusions in Powder Metallurgical High‐Speed Steels

open access: yessteel research international, EarlyView.
Methods for inclusion analysis are evaluated for suitability. Various powder metallurgical steels in different processing states are characterized. SEM/EDS data are further analyzed using analytical and statistical approaches. A thermodynamic method for determining inclusion phase composition is tested.

Distributed AutoML framework for multi‐objective optimization of concrete crack segmentation models

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Monitoring cracks in concrete surfaces is essential for structural safety. While machine vision techniques have received significant interest in this domain, selecting optimal models and tuning hyperparameters remain challenging. This paper proposes a Distributed Automated Machine Learning (AutoML) framework for efficiently designing and ...

Quantifying Structural Complexity, Effort, and Performance: An Early Experiment Using Network Design Tasks

open access: yesSystems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Structural Complexity is perceived as driving cost in system development, yet managing it effectively requires empirical understanding. This study investigates human decision‐making using a toy transportation‐style network design task, focusing on how Structural Complexity, Effort, and Performance interact. Seventy‐four participants (primarily
