Revisiting the Age of Enlightenment from a Collective Decision Making Systems Perspective [PDF]
First Monday, volume 14, number 8, ISSN:1396-0466, LA-UR-09-00324,
University of Illinois at Chicago Library, August 2009, 2009 The ideals of the eighteenth century's Age of Enlightenment are the foundation of modern democracies. The era was characterized by thinkers who promoted progressive social reforms that opposed the long-established aristocracies and monarchies of the time.

A Computational Approach to Measuring Vote Elasticity and Competitiveness [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 The recent wave of attention to partisan gerrymandering has come with a push to refine or replace the laws that govern political redistricting around the country. A common element in several states' reform efforts has been the inclusion of competitiveness metrics, or scores that evaluate a districting plan based on the extent to which district-level ...

Advances in Nano‐Immunomodulatory Systems for the Treatment of Acute Kidney Injury
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Based on the biodegradability and the immunological reactiveness, IMNs can be broadly classified into four categories. The first category includes types of biologically derived materials that cause immunomodulatory action and biodegradability like nanoparticles of cell membranes, extracellular vesicles, and exosomes.

AIChE Journal, Volume 69, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 Abstract A possibility to carry out sorption‐enhanced gasification (SEG) is represented by its integration with the calcium looping concept in dual interconnected fluidized beds (DIFB). This article is focused on the sorbent CO2 uptake performance and attrition/fragmentation tendency when operating conditions simulating those of a DIFB‐SEG process are ...

Analysis of the Educative Reform for Secondary School in Mexico and its implications on Science II subject for the new curriculum [PDF]
Lat. Am. J. Phys. Educ. Vol. 3, No. 1, Jan. 2009, 2009 In Mexico, the educative reform that has been taking effect gradually in the secondary school education from 2005, has eliminated some subjects and created other that they concentrate in a single degree of studies the themes of the basic education, waking up changes that represent a challenge for teachers, who besides are adapted to new academic loads,

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study demonstrates a plasmonic hot carrier device capable of extracting both types of hot carriers simultaneously using a lateral Si p–n junction diode coupled to Ag nanoprisms. The experimental and numerical results jointly reveal precise control of the generation and injection of plasmonic hot carriers, stemming from differing injection ...

Electrified methane steam reforming on a washcoated SiSiC foam for low‐carbon hydrogen production
AIChE Journal, Volume 69, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 Abstract In view of largely available renewable electricity as a green future resource, here we report the electrification of a Rh/Al2O3 washcoated SiSiC foam for methane steam reforming (MSR). We show that, thanks to the suitable bulk resistivity of the SiSiC foam, its direct Joule heating up to relevant temperatures is feasible; the interconnected ...
