International Financial Standards and the Explanatory Force of Lex Mercatoria [PDF]
, 2012 The global financial crisis has cast a strong light on some hitherto obscure corners of the financial world, provoking an outpouring of calls for concerted international action. “Hard law” having disappointed, can “soft law”, in the form of international

XMM-Newton study of the complex and variable spectrum of NGC 4051
, 2006 We study the X-ray spectral variability of the Narrow Line Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 4051 as observed during two XMM-Newton observations. The data show evidence for a neutral and constant reflection component and for constant emission from photoionized gas ...

The Nature of the Stable Soft X-ray Emissions in Several Types of Active Galactic Nuclei Observed by Suzaku [PDF]
, 2012 To constrain the origin of the soft X-ray excess phenomenon seen in many active galactic nuclei, the intensity-correlated spectral analysis, developed by Noda et al.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study presents novel anti‐counterfeiting tags with multilevel security features that utilize additional disguise features. They combine luminescent nanosized Ln‐MOFs with conductive polymers to multifunctional mixed‐matrix membranes and powder composites. The materials exhibit visible/NIR emission and matrix‐based conductivity even as black bodies.

Synchrotron Radiation for Quantum Technology
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Materials and interfaces underpin quantum technologies, with synchrotron and FEL methods key to understanding and optimizing them. Advances span superconducting and semiconducting qubits, 2D materials, and topological systems, where strain, defects, and interfaces govern performance.

The Role of Soft Law in the Application of the Law: The Norwegian Perspective
Oslo Law ReviewThe article explores whether soft law instruments—such as the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGP) and OECDʼs Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises (OECD Guidelines)—have a role to play in the application of Norwegian law.

Bulk motion Comptonization in black-hole accretion flows
, 2005 We study spectra generated by Comptonization of soft photons by cold electrons radially free-falling onto a black hole. We use a Monte Carlo method involving a fully relativistic description of Comptonization in the Kerr space-time.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.An all‐in‐one analog AI accelerator is presented, enabling on‐chip training, weight retention, and long‐term inference acceleration. It leverages a BEOL‐integrated CMO/HfOx ReRAM array with low‐voltage operation (<1.5 V), multi‐bit capability over 32 states, low programming noise (10 nS), and near‐ideal weight transfer.

Soft Law for the Internet, Lessons from International Law
SCRIPTed: A Journal of Law, Technology & Society, 2011 This article begins with the international legal environment and the differences between international law and domestic law. Although the state is still the central subject of international law, the sovereignty of the state has been under challenge since
