Ethical Precision in Nanoscale Brain Interfacing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
As brain interfaces approach the nanoscale, precision no longer only measures—it knows, predicts, and potentially reshapes the mind. This work argues that traditional ethics fails under such conditions and proposes a shift toward continuous, operation‐based governance using the recovery–discovery framework to track, constrain, and responsibly steer ...

Participatory Budgeting as if Emancipation Mattered [PDF]

Politics & Society, 2014
Participatory Budgeting has by now been widely discussed, often celebrated, and is now instituted in at least 1,500 cities worldwide. Some of its central features—its structure of open meetings, its yearly cycle, and its combination of deliberation and representation—are by now well known.

Participatory Budgeting Designs for the Real World

Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2023
Participatory budgeting engages the public in the process of allocating public money to different types of projects. PB designs differ in how voters are asked to express their preferences over candidate projects and how these preferences are aggregated to determine which projects to fund. This paper studies two fundamental questions in PB design. Which

Metasurface‐Enabled Active‐Like Passive Radar

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A programmable space‐time‐coding metasurface embeds distinct spatiotemporal tags into ambient wireless signals, allowing passive radar to operate in an active‐like manner. By enabling code‐correlated reconstruction under interference, the approach supports robust real‐time UAV tracking in complex environments and points to intelligent, low‐power ...

Designing Mechanisms for Participatory Budgeting [PDF]

International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems, 2022
When seeking for suitable mechanisms for participatory budgeting (PB), one has to decide on which criteria to assess them. In this paper, I present several appealing criteria for PB mechanisms. I briefly introduce each of them and discuss their impact on the design of PB mechanisms.

Multiferroic‐Centric Materials and Systems Engineering for Battery Applications: An Insight Into Mechanisms, Strategies, and Characterizations

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Multiferroic order parameters – polarization, magnetization, and ferroelastic strain – are positioned as dynamic design variables for batteries. Their mechanistic roles, practical tuning through fabrication and external fields, and ferroic‐resolved characterization routes are unified into a closed‐loop framework, revealing how coupled ferroic responses

Design of Photocatalytic Composite Coatings for Formaldehyde Removal Based on the Visual Effects of Wood Furniture

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work develops photocatalytic coatings for indoor formaldehyde removal on wood surfaces. It explores coating‐induced color variations and visual perception via eye‐tracking tests. Combined with XGBoost and Bayesian optimization, an intelligent design framework is established to guide the optimization of visually friendly wood photocatalytic ...

Citizens and the city: the case for participatory budgeting in the City of Zagreb

Public Sector Economics, 2019
Since there is constant concern that local government heads allocate budget resources in favour of various pressure groups, the paper investigates whether local participatory budgeting can be implemented in order to better align budget allocation with ...
