Policy Spandrels: How Design Decisions Can Open Up Spaces for Unintended Policy Change
European Policy Analysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article introduces the concept of policy spandrels to make sense of public policies producing second‐order effects that are unintentional from the perspective of policy design and yet are fraught with consequences. By analogy with architectural spandrels—leftover spaces that can be used for unforeseen purposes—policy change can be enabled

Modelling shared e-scooters: A spatial regression approach
, 2020 Shared e-scooters have appeared quickly and in large quantities, yet little is known about their use. In this study, we explore spatial drivers of demand for shared e-scooter trips in Louisville (KY). We estimate a generalized linear mixed model with conditionally autoregressive random effects using 15 months of booking data, points of interests from ...

Interaction Between Vortex‐Induced Vibrations and Base Vibrations in Piezoelectric Harvesters
International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In the present era, powering sensors using green energy is a significant challenge. One promising solution for the power supply of small sensors relies on piezoelectric energy harvesters excited by vortex‐induced vibrations (VIVs) generated by wind.
