Data-driven discovery of organic electronic materials enabled by hybrid top-down/bottom-up design
Advanced Materials, 2022 The high-throughput molecular exploration and screening of organic electronic materials often starts with either a 'top-down' mining of existing repositories, or the 'bottom-up' assembly of fragments based on predetermined rules and known synthetic templates.

Decolonizing Philosophy of Technology: Learning from Bottom-Up and Top-Down Approaches to Decolonial Technical Design [PDF]
Philosophy & Technology, 2021 AbstractThe decolonial theory understands that Western Modernity keeps imposing itself through a triple mutually reinforcing and shaping imprisonment: coloniality of power, coloniality of knowledge, and coloniality of being. Technical design has an essential role in either maintaining or overcoming coloniality.

On observational and modelling strategies targeted at regional carbon exchange over continents [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2009 Estimating carbon exchange at regional scales is paramount to understanding feedbacks between climate and the carbon cycle, but also to verifying climate change mitigation such as emission reductions and strategies compensating for emissions such as ...

Study of Top-down and Bottom-up Approaches by Using Design of Experiment (DoE) to Produce Meloxicam Nanocrystal Capsules [PDF]
AAPS PharmSciTech, 2020 In order to investigate the correlation among energy input-related, drug-related, and stabilizer-related aspects for both top-down and bottom-up nanocrystal production, meloxicam nanosuspensions (NS) were produced by using three different methods (low-energy wet milling, high-pressure homogenization, and precipitation) and each method was optimized by ...

Developing a comprehensive and comparative questionnaire for measuring personality in chimpanzees using a simultaneous top‐down/bottom‐up design [PDF]
American Journal of Primatology, 2013 AbstractOne effective method for measuring personality in primates is to use personality trait ratings to distill the experience of people familiar with the individual animals. Previous rating instruments were created using either top‐down or bottom‐up approaches. Top‐down approaches, which essentially adapt instruments originally designed for use with

How to design decentralisation to curb secessionist pressures? Top-down vs. bottom-up reforms
Structural Change and Economic Dynamics, 2021 Abstract This paper looks at decentralisation as an institutional solution for curbing secessionist pressures by making potentially seceding regions strictly better off by staying in the union. We show that a bottom-up decentralisation reform, where single regions that can opt to assume or not stronger fiscal responsibilities on the basis of ...

Computer-aided design of nano-filter construction using DNA self-assembly [PDF]
Nanoscale Research Letters, 2006 Computer-aided design plays a fundamental role in both top-down and bottom-up nano-system fabrication. This paper presents a bottom-up nano-filter patterning process based on DNA self-assembly.
