Compelled Turnout and Democratic Turnout: Why They Are Different
Political Studies, 2023 One strategy in defence of compulsory voting is based on what I call the non-instrumental value of high turnout: the idea that almost-universal participation in elections is valuable per se. This article argues that we do not have democratic reasons to value compelled turnout.

Turnout Design of Same-side Curved Track for Straddle Tourism Monorail
Chengshi guidao jiaotong yanjiuObjective The tourism rail project at a scenic area is a single-line route. To enhance tourists transportation efficiency, it is required to arrange two sets of single-opening curved track turnout symmetrically within the existing curved sections ...

Features of mathematical modeling of dynamic processes of car passing railroad turnouts
Вестник Научно-исследовательского института железнодорожного транспорта, 2020 Dimensions and tolerances in the “wheelset — railway track” system are interconnected, since the normative values of geometric parameters and shape of the elements of the wheelsets and the track's upper structure are directly de pendent. In 2018– 2019 in

Turnout Fault Diagnosis through Dynamic Time Warping and Signal Normalization
Journal of Advanced Transportation, 2017 Turnout is one key fundamental infrastructure in the railway signal system, which has great influence on the safety of railway systems. Currently, turnout fault diagnoses are conducted manually in China; engineers are obliged to observe the signals and ...

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

All-mail voting in Colorado increases turnout and reduces turnout inequality
Electoral Studies, 2021 The COVID-19 crisis has generated interest in all-mail voting (AMV) as a potential policy solution for avoiding in-person elections. However, the quality of AMV implementation has varied greatly across states, leading to mixed results in previous research.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

It All Happens at Once: Understanding Electoral Behaviour in Second-Order Elections
Politics and Governance, 2020 The second-order election (SOE) model as originally formulated by Reif and Schmitt (1980) suggests that, relative to the preceding first-order election result, turnout is lower in SOEs, government and big parties lose, and small and ideologically extreme

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.This protocol paper outlines methods to establish the success of a time‐resolved serial crystallographic experiment, by means of statistical analysis of timepoint data in reciprocal space and models in real space. We show how to amplify the signal from excited states to visualise structural changes in successful experiments.
