Load Distributing Metamaterials Via Discrete Optimization

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Mechanical metamaterials are computationally optimized to homogenize transmitted forces by minimizing the spread of reaction forces. The resulting architectures transform localized loading into broader, more uniform force distributions and experimentally demonstrate robust load spreading under quasi‐static and impact loading.

The Responsibility to Protect and International Law

Global Responsibility to Protect, 2010
AbstractThe article evaluates the relationship between the Responsibility to Protect (RtoP) principle and international law. We argue that although the principle is best understood as a political commitment to implement already existing legal commitments, the RtoP is not devoid of legal content as some of its critics claim.

Science, 2014
McConnell and Kull question whether the current forest habitat represents “only 10 to 20% of Madagascar's original forest cover.” We agree that it would have been more prudent to replace “original forest cover” with “surface.” We also concur that there is palaeoecological evidence ...
