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 ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A removable sacrificial polymer layer engineers the thermal boundary condition during nanosecond laser ablation of PET, suppressing heat‐affected‐zone formation without relying on costly ultrafast lasers. This strategy enables deep, high‐aspect‐ratio trenches with no detectable heat‐affected zone, templating silver‐filled mesh electrodes with record ...

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.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Nitride MXenes remain constrained by a persistent gap between computational prediction and experimental realization. This Review identifies the thermodynamic, kinetic, and chemical barriers limiting their synthesis, critically evaluates emerging fabrication routes, and proposes a multidimensional computational‐experimental framework to accelerate the ...

LubricantsTo investigate how severe wear at No. 12 turnout frogs in an urban rail transit line operating at speeds over 120 km/h on the dynamic performance of the vehicle, a vehicle–frog coupled dynamic model was established by employing the 2021 version of ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Light irradiation activates the Fe2O3‐BiVO4 heterostructure, enabling efficient solar‐electrochemical coupling in zinc‐air batteries. The built‐in electric field drives directional charge separation, guiding photoelectrons toward oxygen reduction sites and accumulating holes for oxygen evolution, thereby reducing polarization and enhancing discharge ...

Does Voting History Matter? Analysing Persistence in Turnout [PDF]
Individuals who vote in one election are also more likely to vote in the next. Modelling the causal relationship between past and current voting decisions however is intrinsically difficult, as this positive association can exist due to habit formation ...

Current‐Driven Chirality Detection of Magnetic Textures in Cylindrical Nanowires
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Current‐assisted anisotropic magnetoresistance measurements in individual Ni/Au cylindrical nanowires enable detection of vortex chirality near Au segments and selective magnetic reversal in defined wire sections at magnetic fields lower than the propagation field. This approach provides a simple, cost‐effective, and non‐invasive method for probing and

Referendum Design, Quorum Rules and Turnout [PDF]
In this article, we focus on the consequences of quorum requirements for turnout in referendums. We use a rational choice, decision theoretic voting model to demonstrate that participation quorums change the incentives some electors face, inducing those ...
