The Federal Budget Surplus: Surprise or Strategy? [PDF]
Canadian federal government registered 11 consecutive budgetary surpluses between 1997 and 2007. In the Canadian context, the federal surplus often has two components: the planned component and the surprise component; the latter appearing when the actual

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study investigates H4TBAPy‐based metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) ‐ NU‐1000, NU‐901, SrTBAPy, and BaTBAPy ‐ for multiphoton absorption (MPA) performance. It observes topology‐dependent variations in the 2PA cross‐section, with BaTBAPy exhibiting the highest activity.

Formalizing the Function of Anterior Insula in Rapid Adaptation
Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2018 Anterior insula (aIns) is thought to play a crucial role in rapid adaptation in an ever-changing environment. Mathematically, it is known to track risk and surprise. Modern theories of learning, however, assign a dominant role to signed prediction errors

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The dielectric properties of clays are studied on the level of individual monolayers and functional double stacks. The material breakdown characteristics and charge storage performance are analyzed. For illustration, a defined charge pattern representing a cuneiform character is produced, written into a microscopic clay tile, referencing the origins of

3D Multicellular Scaffold Based Model for Advancing Bone Disorder Research
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A scalable 3D multicellular in vitro bone model engineered by integrating osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and endothelial cells on biodegradable scaffolds. The system recapitulates key features of human bone remodeling and disease pathology. As a proof of concept, the model mimics osteogenesis imperfecta, demonstrating its potential as a physiologically ...

Pupil dilation signals surprise: evidence for noradrenaline’s role in decision making.
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2011 Our decisions are guided by the rewards we expect. These expectations are often based on incomplete knowledge and are thus subject to uncertainty. While the neurophysiology of expected rewards is well understood, less is known about the physiology of ...

Defect Analysis of the β– to γ–Ga2O3 Phase Transition
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The role of defects at all the relevant stages of the β$\beta$‐ to γ$\gamma$‐Ga2O3 polymorph transition is investigated using a multi method approach. The positron annihilation spectroscopy based results show that the defect density decreases after the transition, and that changes in defect configuration within the γ phase occur with increasing ...
