Rebalancing and the Chinese VAT: Some Numerical Simulation Results [PDF]
This paper presents numerical simulation results that suggest that China can both reduce its trade imbalance and receive welfare benefits by switching the value added tax (VAT) regime from the current destination principle to an origin principle.

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Fabrication shapes soft robot performance, but benchmarking data and selection guidelines remain scarce. We fabricate silicone actuators using two molding techniques and three mold types, characterizing them with cycle testing, microscopy, profilometry, and 3D imaging. Applying our lab‐scale, soft robotics‐specific fabrication evaluation criteria shows

Fundamental Principles of Vat Polymerization in Additive Manufacturing
Vat photopolymerization is one of the earliest and most precise additive manufacturing processes, yet its operation is governed by a tightly coupled interaction between optics, chemistry, and machine mechanics. This self-study technical report presents a foundational and descriptive examination of vat photopolymerization with the objective of ...
