Voter Turnout in Direct Democracy: Theory and Evidence [PDF]
We analyse voter turnout as a function of referendum types. An advisory referendum produces advice that a legislature may or may not take into account when choosing between two alternatives, whereas a binding referendum generates a decisive decision.

Millifluidic Synthesis of Core–Shell Resonators For Tunable Sonic BandGaps in Acoustic Metamaterials
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Millimeter‐scale core–shell acoustic resonators are fabricated by a gravity‐assisted dripping approach and incorporated into epoxy composites at controlled volume fractions. The resulting alumina–core resonator composites show tunable low‐frequency acoustic attenuation, demonstrating a scalable route for integrating locally resonant metamaterial units ...

Negative campaigning and electoral mobilization: empirical evidence from German state elections
Political Research ExchangeRecent research has been inconclusive about the systemic effects of negative campaigning. The available studies, most of which focus on the United States, either conclude that attack behavior decreases turnout, increases turnout, or has no effect on ...

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Zinc oxide thin films are engineered by controlling oxygen flow and nominal partial pressure during growth to tune atomic‐scale defects and crystallographic texture that limit device performance. By balancing competing defects, the films achieve improved preferential c‐axis orientation and enhanced ultraviolet photoresponse.

Media Markets and Localism: Does Local News en Español Boost Hispanic Voter Turnout? [PDF]
Since the dawn of broadcasting, and especially in the past decade, Americans have turned their attention from local to more distant sources of news and entertainment. While the integration of media markets will raise the private welfare of many consumers,

Does Church Attendance Cause People to Vote? Using Blue Laws' Repeal to Estimate the Effect of Religiosity on Voter Turnout [PDF]
Regular church attendance is strongly associated with a higher probability of voting. It is an open question as to whether this association, which has been confirmed in numerous surveys, is causal.
