Inégalités écologiques : analyse spatiale des impacts générés et subis par les ménages belges

Espace populations sociétés, 2008
The aim of the paper is to explore methodologies for exhibiting ecological inequalities on a given area. It begins with a definition of ecological inequality in order to make this notion operative for statistical and cartographical processes.

Climate Action Impacts on Steelmaking Emissions of Persistent Organic Pollutants Highlight a Gap Between the Paris Agreement and the Stockholm Convention

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Emissions of unintentionally produced persistent organic pollutants (UPOPs) and global warming are two major environmental challenges. But their governance has largely evolved in parallel, leaving the toxicity implications of climate‐driven industrial transitions poorly understood.

Provincial inequalities in Iran: A comprehensive planning model for budget allocation

Town and Regional Planning
Although regional disparities were declining in Iran between 2001-2013, the provincial allocation of budgetary resources in Iran is not done fairly. The absence of a clear model for optimal budget distribution hinders achieving regional balance between ...

Optimal inflation to reduce inequality [PDF]

Review of Economic Dynamics, 2016
Abstract A popular argument in favor of price stability is that the inflation-tax burden would disproportionately fall on the poor because wealth is unevenly distributed and portfolio composition of poorer households is skewed towards a larger share of money holdings.

Stable Diffusion Models Reveal a Persisting Human–AI Gap in Visual Creativity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study examines visual creativity in humans and generative AI using the TCIA framework. Human artists outperform AI overall, yet structured human guidance substantially improves AI outputs and evaluations. Findings reveal that alignment with human creativity depends critically on contextual framing, highlighting both the promise and current ...

Revisiting Target‐Aware de novo Molecular Generation with TarPass: Between Rational Design and Texas Sharpshooter

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
TarPass provides a rigorous benchmark for target‐aware de novo molecular generation by jointly evaluating protein‐ligand interactions, molecular plausibility, and drug‐likeness on 18 well‐studied targets. Results show that current models often fail to consistently surpass random baseline in target‐specific enrichment, while post hoc multi‐tier virtual ...

A simple proof of the invariant torus theorem [PDF]

, 2010
We give a simple proof of Kolmogorov's theorem on the persistence of a quasiperiodic invariant torus in Hamiltonian systems. The theorem is first reduced to a well-posed inversion problem (Herman's normal form) by switching the frequency obstruction from

Unequal Inequalities: Do Progressive Taxes Reduce Income Inequality? [PDF]

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2012
This paper analyzes the effect of changes in the structural progressivity of national income tax systems on observed and actual income inequality. Using several unique measures of progressivity over the 1981–2005 period for a large panel of countries, we find that progressivity reduces inequality in observed income, but has a significantly smaller ...

Low‐Power Control Of Resistance Switching Transitions in First‐Order Memristors

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Joule losses are a serious concern in modern integrated circuit design. In this regard, minimizing the energy necessary for programming memristors should be handled with care. This manuscript presents an optimal control framework, allowing to derive energy‐efficient programming voltage protocols for resistance switching devices. Following this approach,
