Thermoelectric effects in nanowire-based MOSFETs
Advances in Physics: X, 2017 We review a series of works describing thermoelectric effects (TEs) in gated disordered nanowires (field-effect transistor device configuration). After considering the elastic coherent regime characterising sub-Kelvin temperatures, we study the inelastic

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose To evaluate the marginal gap of two‐piece polyetheretherketone (PEEK) abutments fabricated with different methods, before and after thermal cycling, while also focusing on their pull‐off bond strength. Materials and Methods A two‐piece abutment was virtually designed after digitizing a titanium‐base (Ti‐base) abutment.

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose To evaluate the effects of scanner type and prosthesis design–luting protocol combinations on the passive fit of interim implant‐supported complete‐arch fixed dental prostheses (ISCFDPs) fabricated using a non‐calibrated splinting grammetry system (OptiSplint).

Electroplasticity constitutive modeling of aluminum alloys based on dislocation density evolution
Journal of Materials Research and TechnologyElectrical current can effectively improve the plasticity of metallic materials. The tensile deformation behavior of Al alloys under the pulsed electrical current assisted quasi-static unidirectional tension (EAT) has been investigated.

Pursuing patents for their own sake: How the investment discourse shapes patent quality and quantity
The Journal of World Intellectual Property, EarlyView.Abstract Patent systems worldwide face criticisms over declining patent quality and increasing patent quantity. While most research focuses on strengthening examination rigour, this article turns attention to relatively underexplored patenting incentives.

Epistocracy and the Commitment Problem
Philosophy &Public Affairs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The epistocracy debate has turned largely on the character of the electorate—what voters know, whether competence filters can be designed well, and what filtered selection produces. Another strand has focused on the legitimacy of epistocratic justifications. I ask instead about the equilibrium effects of the institution.

Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Risk‐based approaches to regulatory governance are ubiquitous. One aspect of such approaches suggests regulators direct their attention towards companies that have already violated regulations. However, such approaches have made little use of available data to explore these companies, especially compared to companies that do not transgress ...

Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The regulation of business is increasingly characterized by “soft” governance regimes that blur the boundaries of public and private authority, as signaled by the rapid proliferation of multistakeholder initiatives in global governance. This article explores how the spread of multistakeholderism creates opportunities for new forms of strategic

Powers and Practices in Labor Standards Enforcement
Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Wage theft remains a pervasive problem internationally and within the United States. In response, worker advocates have sought stronger laws to deter violations and promote compliance. Yet formal authority alone may be insufficient; labor departments often fail to use the full extent of their legal authority to conduct vigorous enforcement ...
