Noise Spectroscopy and Electrical Transport In NbO2 Memristors with Dual Resistive Switching
Electrical properties of NbO2‐based memristors are studied and the ability to engineer them for computing applications is explored. By employing noise spectroscopy and by utilizing a dimerization model of insulators, negative differential resistance and inhomogeneous conduction regions are explained.

The Airbus bribery scandal: A collective myopia perspective
Abstract Drawing on collective myopia as a lens, we explore the infamous Airbus bribery scandal to show how the executives of the global aircraft manufacturer, through their actions and behaviours, institutionalised the payment of bribes to secure contracts.

Communications in the Canadian Corps, 1915–1918: Wartime Technological Progress Revisited [PDF]
Warfare has, for millenia, been a rich source of myth and legend, and one of the main reasons many historians proclaim Herodotus to be the first to ply their trade is because, at least, he discounted divine intervention as the prime explanation for the ...

Thermoelasticity and generalized thermoelasticity viewed as wave hierarchies [PDF]
It is seen how to write the standard\^E form of the four partial differential equations in four unknowns of anisotropic thermoelasticity as a single equation in one variable, in terms of isothermal and isentropic wave operators.

Decision‐making processes of public sector accounting reforms in India—Institutional perspectives
Abstract While International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) convergence has been the face of the global accounting standardisation movement for the past few decades, accounting reforms in the public sector had started to gain momentum from the late 1990s. This paper examines the reasons for the adoption of public sector accrual accounting reforms

Exact Time: the First Scientific Application of Radiocommunications
Marconi’s first experiment of signal transmission by means of Hertzian waves was carried out in 1895. In the following years, wireless telegraphy progressed steadily and worldwide efforts were made to exploit the potential offered by new technologies. In

Precursors of Wireless Telegraphy [PDF]
A TRADITION is growing (cf. NATURE, March 9, p. 316), and requires scrutiny, that it was owing to discouragement by Sir George Stokes that D. E. Hughes abandoned his experiments in 1879, anticipatory of the methods and apparatus of modern wireless telegraphy. This is in contrast to all that is known of Stokes' extreme caution in advancing opinions, for
