e-Government Lessons from South Africa 2001-2011: Institutions, State of Progress and Measurement
The African Journal of Information and Communication, 2012 Electronic governance is the future of public governance globally. Governments that do not make the transition from paper-based systems of public administration to electronic platforms of public governance may swiftly undermine their chances of ...

AUTOMATION, STAGNATION, AND THE IMPLICATIONS OF A ROBOT TAX
Macroeconomic Dynamics, 2020 We assess the long-run growth effects of automation in the overlapping generations framework. Although automation implies constant returns to capital and, thus, an AK production side of the economy, positive long-run growth does not emerge. The reason is

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.In this article, a water‐evaporation driven energy harvester is devised that works even in the absence of sunlight. This is achieved by combining PVA hydrogel with thermoelectrics (TEG) to directly capture energy from water evaporation. Under mild conditions (RH 40%, T of 26 °C, and 2.8 m s−1 wind), 1.71 mW (1.02 W m−2) power can be generated, >3 fold ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This work explores Li‐substituted P2 layered oxides for Na‐ion batteries by crystallographic and electrochemical studies. The effect of lithium on superstructure orderings, on phase transitions during synthesis and electrochemical cycling and on the interplay of O‐ versus TM‐redox is revealed via various advanced techniques, including semi‐simultaneous

Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2011 Blood flow in a filter for an extracorporeal blood circuit was analyzed numerically to assess fluid mechanical quantities related to thrombogenesis. Results showed stagnant flow regions, in particular at the downstream side of the ceiling of a filter.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The slit height of fluorohectorite 2D‐nanochannels is tuned with Å‐precision (2.4–250 Å). Slit‐height‐dependent ion and water mobilities are quantified by applying EIS, PFG‐NMR, and SFG‐NMR with MD simulations guiding interpretation. Diffuse properties are investigated with CP‐AFM, MD, and PB.

Growth of Legionella during COVID-19 lockdown stagnation
Environmental Science: Water Research & Technology, 2020 While “avoiding stagnation” has been the mantra of building water experts, support for how this terminology is used is not overly convincing. Carefully nuanced COVID stagnation studies can improve water quality research and communication strategies.
