But the explanation of those failures is seriously inadequate. First, they are attributed to deregulation, when the Inquiry itself details the ways in which the cladding of the building was subject ...

BumbleBEEP: A Sensor System for Bumblebee Colony Monitoring
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.We present a bumblebee colony monitoring system, BumbleBEEP. The system is fitted with thermometers and a custom weight sensor. These record data up to every 15 min, recording bumblebee brood nest temperature, environmental ambient temperature, and colony growth.

Axial and Biaxial Fatigue Behavior of 6061‐T651 Cold Metal Transfer Welded Joints
Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Lightweight aluminum structures in transportation systems are increasingly exposed to complex service loading, yet the fatigue performance of welded joints is still predominantly assessed using uniaxial data. In this work, the axial and biaxial fatigue behavior of 6061‐T651 aluminum alloy joints produced by cold metal transfer (CMT) welding is

Another strand has focused on the legitimacy of epistocratic justifications. I ask instead about the equilibrium effects of the institution.

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 ...
