Fair Lotteries for Participatory Budgeting

open access: yesProceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence
In pursuit of participatory budgeting (PB) outcomes with broader fairness guarantees, we initiate the study of lotteries over discrete PB outcomes. As the projects have heterogeneous costs, the amount spent may not be equal ex ante and ex post. To address this, we develop a technique to bound the amount by which the ex-post spend differs from the ex ...

Uniaxial Strain‐Driven Ferroelastic Domain Tuning in LaAlO3${\rm LaAlO}_3$

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The present work demonstrates based on AFM, μ$\umu$‐Raman spectroscopy, XRD, and first‐principles, that uniaxial strain provides a handle for tuning the ferroelastic domain populations in lanthanum aluminate, driving a continuous and controlled phase transition from a four‐variant rhombohedral crystal system to a two‐variant orthorhombic crystal system

The contribution of participatory budgeting to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals: lessons for policy in Commonwealth countries

open access: yesCommonwealth Journal of Local Governance, 2019
After briefly defining participatory budgeting and reviewing its evolution worldwide and Commonwealth expansion over the last three decades, this paper explores the potential it holds for contributing to the achievement of the United Nations’ Sustainable

Participatory Budgeting [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Participatory budgeting, an innovatory form of direct participation by the people in formulating and implementing budget policies in the city Porto Alegre, Brazil, brought democracy to decisions on how the city's public resources were used. This brochure explains how Participative Budgeting is an effective participatory tool to demand government ...

Re‐Thinking Electronic Circuit Design Through Emerging Reconfigurable Field Effect Transistors

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Graphical illustration of reconfigurable field effect transistor (RFET) operation modes, including n‐type, p‐type, and ambipolar transport, as well as their areas of application discussed in this review: digital circuit design, analog circuit design, post‐Shannon computing, and sensing. ABSTRACT Reconfigurable field‐effect transistors, short RFETs, are

A Research on the Opinions and Attitudes of Participatory Budget Applications of Manisa Metropolitan Municipality Central District Council Members

open access: yesInternational Journal of Public Finance, 2018
Modern budget systems have existed since the 1980s. Local government budgets include citizen demand and citizen participation, which are conceptualized in modern budget systems.

Electrical Properties and Interfacial Strain in Thermally Oxidized 4H‐SiC MOS Structures Under Different Post‐Oxidation Annealing

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
This work investigates the electrical properties and interfacial strain in thermally oxidized 4H‐SiC MOS structures under different post‐oxidation annealing. Nitrogen annealing simultaneously reduces interface state density and increases interfacial tensile strain, thus being accompanied by the formation of an interfacial dipole.

Predictable and Scalable Analog Matrix–Vector Multiplication in Memristor Crossbars via Closed‐Form Wire‐Resistance Compensation

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Wire resistance and sneak paths severely compromise the performance of large memristor crossbars. A predictive closed‐form distributed line‐resistance model, combined with a fourmatrix geometry‐averaging algorithm, eliminates these parasitic limitations.
