Advanced Science, EarlyView.In this work, we present a bile‐based memristor hardware framework that enables direct, label‐free identification of cholelithiasis and gallbladder cancer at the device level. The Ag/bile/FTO memristor features stable resistive switching and disease‐specific electrical responses, providing a conceptual foundation for circuits and an integrated ERCP ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Human water demand constrains China's feasible afforestation potential more strongly than is commonly recognized, and future climate change further intensifies this limitation. Integrating land‐use optimization with water‐saving measures substantially expands feasible afforestation area and associated carbon sinks, revealing a practical pathway to ...

Voter Turnout and Political Rents [PDF]
Journal of Public Economic Theory, 2015 AbstractIs the decline in voter turnout an indicator of a worse health of a representative democracy? We build a simple probabilistic‐voting model with endogenous turnout to address this question. We find that a lower turnout caused by a higher cost of voting implies higher political rents.

Skyrmion Bubbles by Design in a Centrosymmetric Kagome Magnet
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Chemical tuning of magnetocrystalline anisotropy in the centrosymmetric kagome magnet TmMn6Sn6 is shown to drive a spin reorientation transition via an intermediate magnetic fan state and to stabilize an emergent skyrmion bubble lattice. Four‐dimensional cryogenic Lorentz scanning transmission electron microscopy confirms the nanoscale texture ...

Food insecurity and unemployment among immigrants in the United States
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Immigrants can be more vulnerable to economic downturns and, during periods of economic hardship, more likely to experience food insecurity compared to natives. This study examines the differential effect of the unemployment rate on the probability of being food insecure among diverse groups of immigrant households relative to natives in the ...

Voter turnout and the size of government [PDF]
European Journal of Political Economy, 2016 This paper uses Swedish and Finnish municipal data to investigate the effect of changes in voter turnout on the tax rate, public spending and vote-shares. A reform in Sweden in 1970, which overall lowered the cost of voting, is applied as an instrument for voter turnout in local elections. The reform increased voter turnout in Sweden.
