The anthropology of transition

open access: yesFrancosphères, 2015
Popular and folk music have been closely scrutinized since the outburst of the uprisings in the Arab world in 2011. Whether we choose to see art as a seismometer that foretells of social unrest before it even breaks out, or as an outcome of these waves ...

Music Aggregators and Intermediation of the Digital Music Market [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
This article demonstrates that, contrary to popular belief, the advent of the Internet has not made intermediaries in the music market obsolete. Individual artists and independent record labels who want to sell their music in digital music stores must ...

Co-detection: Ultra-reliable Nanoparticle-Based Electrical Detection of Biomolecules in the Presence of Large Background Interference [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Contrary to popular belief, we report that background interference in conductimetric biochips can be exploited using a novel "co-detection" principle to significantly improve the reliability of detecting trace quantities of biomolecules.

A Biochar‐Based Composite Hydrogel Microenvironment for Enhanced Biocatalysis

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This work presents the synthesis of a polyacrylamide hydrogel wherein biomass‐derived biochar is co‐encapsulated with the enzyme horseradish peroxidase (HRP). The resulting composite hydrogel possesses balanced electron‐rich and electron‐deficient domains, creating an optimal microenvironment that concentrates both hydrogen peroxide and phenol ...

Quantum Hacking: Experimental demonstration of time-shift attack against practical quantum key distribution systems

open access: yes, 2011
Quantum key distribution (QKD) systems can send signals over more than 100 km standard optical fiber and are widely believed to be secure. Here, we show experimentally for the first time a technologically feasible attack, namely the time-shift attack ...

Devil in a New Dress: Reframing as an Alternative Method of Motivated Reasoning [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Much research has been conducted in the field of motivated reasoning, with most of this work focused on the tendency of motivated reasoners to reject counterarguments out of hand, the so-called disconfirmation bias. The objective of this work is markedly

Stable P‐Type PbS Quantum Dot Ink for all‐Blade‐Coated Short‐Wavelength Infrared Photodiodes

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Stabilization of p‐type PbS quantum dot ink is achieved through hydrogen bonding between fluorinated alcohols solvent and the MP ligand, allowing a six‐day shelf‐life. The solvent does not compromise pre‐deposited layers, enabling fully blade‐coated photodiodes in both n–p and p–n architectures, with enhanced detectivity and bandwidth compared to layer‐

The Apparatus of Belief: Prayer, Technology, and Ritual Gesture

open access: yesReligions, 2016
Through a focus on the early history of a mass mediated ritual practice, this essay describes the “apparatus of belief,” or the specific ways in which individual religious belief has become intimately related to tele-technologies such as the radio.

Label‐Free Sensing of Coronaviral Sequences via Kretschmann‐Configuration Reflectance Spectroscopic Ellipsometry: Sensitivity, Specificity, and Interfacial Effects

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Spectroscopic ellipsometry in the Kretschmann‐Raether configuration (KRSE) is employed to characterize a DNA‐functionalized platform for viral sequence recognition. By merging SE with surface plasmon resonance, KRSE outperforms conventional SE, achieving nanomolar targeting through resonance wavelength shifts (δλ) measurements. Its enhanced interfacial
