ASSESSING VOLUNTEERED GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION (VGI) QUALITY BASED ON CONTRIBUTORS' MAPPING BEHAVIOURS [PDF]
VGI changed the mapping landscape by allowing people that are not professional cartographers to contribute to large mapping projects, resulting at the same time in concerns about the quality of the data produced.

Asymmetry of the Ferroelectric Phase Transition in BaTiO3
Phase transitions are typically assumed to behave identically in forward and reverse. This work shows that in the ferroelectric material barium titanate this is not true: heating drives an abrupt, first‐order jump, while cooling gives a smooth, continuous change.
