Digital Microneedles for Multiplexed Transdermal Sensing via Fluorescent QR Codes
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Digital fluorescent microneedles encode biochemical information in skin into scannable QR codes through threshold‐activated probes that generate binary on/off signals. By transforming analog fluorescence into discrete digital patterns, this platform enables calibration‐free, multiplexed transdermal sensing of physiologically relevant biomarkers ...

Wage Differentials Between Union and Non-union Workers: An Econometric Analysis [PDF]
It is increasingly recognized that institutional factors such as trade unions do play a dominant role in determining the levels of wages, standard of working conditions. This is more pronounced in the industrial sector of developing economies.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.We report a multifunctional tapered optical fiber integrating a conformal micro‐resistance temperature detector (µRTD) for local, real‐time thermometry during optical stimulation. The platform combines light‐delivery and temperature sensing within a minimally invasive footprint, enabling detection of sub‐degree cortical heating under representative ...

Trade Unions and Union Representatives
Abstract Trade unions (TUs) play a vital role in the labor market, serving as civil society advocates for workers' rights and employment conditions. While TUs primarily represent employed individuals ("insiders") rather than those seeking employment, their focus on workplace conditions can also benefit marginalized groups (“outsiders”), such ...

The impact of monetary union on trade prices [PDF]
Two seemingly unconnected empirical results suggest an intriguing mechanism. First, economic integration helps harmonize prices internationally, with trade being the primary channel (Rogoff 1996, Goldberg and Knetter 1997).

Increased Endurance of Nonvolatile Photonics Enabled by Nanostructured Phase‐Change Materials
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Tapered and segmented islands of the phase‐change material (PCM) antimony selenide (Sb2Se3) integrated on silicon microring resonators enable ultra‐low‐loss, high‐endurance, non‐volatile photonic tuning. The nanostructured PCM design suppresses interfacial scattering and thermal stress, achieving record endurance over 100 million electrical switching ...

Trade liberalisation and union wages in a differentiated Bertrand duopoly [PDF]
In a framework of a unionised international Bertrand duopoly with differentiated products, this paper analyses national labour market interdependencies and the consequences of trade liberalisation for union wages.
