Election outcomes and maximizing turnout: Modelling the effect [PDF]

An election outcome reflects institutional, behavioural and attitudinal influences. We set out a model showing it is a function of the electoral system, the offices at stake and the number of parties competing as well as the choices of voters and the ...

Interface Effects in Ultrathin Silicon on Insulator Films

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work establishes a systematic framework to discriminate how bulk and interface phenomena affect charge transport in ultrathin P‐doped silicon‐on‐insulator (SOI) films. For Si films below 15 nm, electrical characterization demonstrates that interface states drive charge transport, shifting the metal‐insulator transition (MIT) critical dopant ...

A full information expression model for track irregularity based on stochastic harmonic functions in vehicle–turnout structure stochastic vibration analysis

Railway Engineering Science
Turnout irregularity significantly affects the stochastic vibration behavior of vehicle–turnout structures. This study proposes a fitting formula for the turnout irregularity spectrum and develops a turnout irregularity full information expression model (

Employment, Wages and Voter Turnout [PDF]

This paper argues that, since activities that provide political information are complementary with leisure, increased labor market activity should lower turnout, but should do so least in prominent elections where information is ubiquitous.

Structure‐Guided Dynamical Mechanics in Bioinspired Double Twisted Laminated Thin Films

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work explores a dynamic mechanistic study of crack propagation and puncture testing via real‐time monitoring of crack initiation, propagation, and termination through nature‐inspired single and double twisted architectures fabricated from cellulose nanocrystals.

Why Is Participation Low in Referendums? Lessons from Latin America

Latin American Research Review
Whether referendums, initiatives, and other mechanisms of direct democracy enhance representative systems is a matter of debate. Skeptics note—among other criticisms—that turnout tends to be low in referendums, often lower than in candidate elections in ...

Sharing Competences: The Impact of Local Institutional Settings on Voter Turnout [PDF]

Institutions are common predictors of voter turnout. Most research in this field focuses on cross-country comparisons of voting systems, like the impact of compulsory voting or registration systems.

The effect of modulus of elasticity on the behaviour of railway turnout sleepers [PDF]

, 2010
Finite element analysis using a simplified grillage beam model was performed to investigate the effects of the modulus of elasticity of the sleeper, Esleeper and the support modulus, Us on the behaviour of railway turnout sleepers.

Sustainable Electrochemical Synthesis of High‐Quality MXenes: Mechanistic Insights, Applications, Challenges, and Technological Prospects

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Electrochemical etching provides an eco‐friendly alternative to hazardous HF methods for MXene production. This approach facilitates the selective isolation of the A‐layer from MAX phases with tunable surface terminations. Controlling voltage, electrolytes, temperature, and duration enables the optimal structural integrity. Nevertheless, existing scale
