open access: yesRegulation &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 ...

A Complexity‐Based Approach to Migration Policy Change: The Case of the German Residence Act

open access: yesRegulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper adapts and applies existing indicators to measure the complexity of German migration policy over time. Building on recent scholarship that conceptualizes migration policy as multidimensional, I adapt a measurement strategy from the EUPLEX Project to capture three key components of regulatory complexity: structural, linguistic, and ...

‘I'm Dead!’: Action, Homicide and Denied Catharsis in Early Modern Spanish Drama

open access: yesRenaissance Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract In early modern Spanish drama, the expression ‘¡Muerto soy!’ (‘I'm dead!’) is commonly used to indicate a literal death or to figuratively express a character's extreme fear or passion. Recent studies, even one collection published under the title of ‘¡Muerto soy!’, have paid scant attention to the phrase in context, a serious omission when ...

Rectification and Phase Locking for Particles on Two Dimensional Periodic Substrates

open access: yes, 2001
We show that a novel rectification phenomena is possible for overdamped particles interacting with a 2D periodic substrate and driven with a longitudinal DC drive and a circular AC drive. As a function of DC amplitude, the longitudinal velocity increases

Consumers' Environmental Awareness and Firms' Managerial Delegation Contracts Under Emission Tax Policies

open access: yesScottish Journal of Political Economy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study considers consumers' environmental awareness of polluting firms' managerial delegation contracts and compares the effects of committed and time‐consistent emission tax policies. It reveals that when environmental performance (EP) incentives prevail, sales performance (SP) incentives depend on the emission tax type and competition ...

DIRECT ELASTIC-PLASTIC LIMIT LOAD AND SHAKEDOWN ANALYSIS OF STEEL SPACE TRUSSES WITH LARGE DISPLACEMENTS

open access: yesStructural Mechanics of Engineering Constructions and Buildings, 2014
A direct method for elastic-plastic limit load and shakedown analysis of steel space trusses with large displacements is treated in this paper. The incremental method for the geometrically nonlinear analysis of space trusses, developed by one of the ...

Plastic Shakedown Behavior and Deformation Mechanisms of Ti17 Alloy under Long Term Creep–Fatigue Loading

open access: yesMetals
Ti17 alloy is mainly used to manufacture aero-engine discs due to its excellent properties such as high strength, toughness and hardenability. It is often subjected to creep–fatigue cyclic loading in service environments.

Self-ratcheting Stokes drops driven by oblique vibrations

open access: yes, 2009
We develop and analyze a minimal hydrodynamic model in the overdamped limit to understand why a drop climbs a smooth homogeneous incline that is harmonically vibrated at an angle different from the substrate normal [Brunet, Eggers and Deegan, Phys.
