Policy ambassadors: human agency in the transnationalization of Brazilian social policies

Policy & Society, 2020
In the past decade, Brazil became a model for social policies, ‘exporting’ ideas and techniques to tackle issues on social participation, poverty and hunger mostly to Southern countries, but also to the Northern States.

Phasing out coal for 2 °C target requires worldwide replication of most ambitious national plans despite security and fairness concerns

Environmental Research Letters, 2023
Ending the use of unabated coal power is a key climate change mitigation measure. However, we do not know how fast it is feasible to phase-out coal on the global scale. Historical experience of individual countries indicates feasible coal phase-out rates,

Carbon Pricing Under Pressure: Withering Markets?

Politics and Governance, 2022
Emissions trading systems (ETSs) are operating and developing in many regions and countries. Doubts have been raised about their effectiveness, but the global picture has many nuances, as the contributions to this thematic issue on carbon markets show ...

Don't Start From Scratch: Behavioral Refinement via Interpolant-based Policy Diffusion [PDF]

Robotics: Science and Systems Conference
Imitation learning empowers artificial agents to mimic behavior by learning from demonstrations. Recently, diffusion models, which have the ability to model high-dimensional and multimodal distributions, have shown impressive performance on imitation ...

Cycle Highways as a 'Liquid' Policy Concept: The Proliferation of an 'Active' Mobility Policy Concept in the Netherlands

Active Travel Studies, 2022
One way to support active mobility is by the successful articulation and diffusion of new bike-infrastructure concepts. This paper studies the journey of one such concept in the Netherlands, namely the cycle highway, which nowadays is often referred to ...

Growth and gaps: a meta-review of policy diffusion studies in the American states

, 2021
Research on how policies diffuse throughout the American federal system is robust and vast, but there has yet to be a systematic accounting for its results. Using a systematic review and metaanalysis, this study presents the most comprehensive analysis

Diffusion in Cauchy Elastic Solid [PDF]

, 2022
It is commonly accepted that a starting point of the science of diffusion is the phenomenological diffusion equation postulated by German physiologist Adolf Fick inspired by experiments on diffusion by Thomas Graham and Robert Brown.

Investigating effects from restricted diffusion in multi-component diffusion data [PDF]

, 2014
We have investigated model systems in which effects from non-Gaussian restricted diffusion could be separated from effects caused by multiple diffusion coefficients. We applied various models to analyze the experimental data.

Diffusion in Metals and Intermetallics: An Overview [PDF]

, 2022
After a few remarks about the history of diffusion in solids we remind the reader to some basics of diffusion such as tracer diffusion, interdiffusion, high-diffusivity paths, and basic diffusion mechanism in solids.
