Elite capture of foreign aid: evidence from offshore bank accounts by Andersen, JJ, Johannesen, N, Rijkers, B

“…This paper documents that aid disbursements to highly aid-dependent countries coincide with sharp increases in bank deposits in offshore financial centers known for bank secrecy and private wealth management but not in other financial centers. …”

Expectations of undergraduates upon graduation and their means of financing it by Chen, Michele, Kam, Gladys Huey Li, Lee, Sharon Ai Leen

Structural inequality and the protectorate of discrimination law by Laborde, C

“…It cannot be claimed by those – men, or white persons – who are not at the sharp end of structural inequality. Furthermore, even dominated groups cannot claim to be indirectly discriminated against by just any law that has a disparate impact on them. …”

Harmonic Spinors in the Ricci Flow by Baldauf, Julius

“…The proof relies on a weighted version of the monopole equations, introduced here. Further, a sharp parabolic Hitchin–Thorpe inequality for simply-connected, spin 4-manifolds is proven. …”

Deep integration and trade: UK firms in the wake of Brexit by Freeman, R, Garofalo, M, Longoni, E, Manova, K, Mari, R, Prayer, T, Sampson, T

“…The UK’s exit from the EU’s single market and customs union in January 2021 led to an immediate, sharp drop in both exports and imports with the EU for the average firm. …”

Gender gaps and the structure of local labor markets by Petrongolo, B, Ronchi, M

“…In particular, we highlight sharp gender differences in commuting behavior and discuss how women’s stronger distaste for commuting time may feed into gender pay gaps.…”

Wireless Communication Electronics by Example / by Sobot, Robert, author 596634

“…Readers will benefit from the authors sharp focus on radio receiver design, demonstrated through hundreds of fully-solved, realistic examples, as opposed to texts that cover many aspects of electronics and electromagnetic without making the required connection to wireless communication circuit design. …”

When Do Investors Freak Out? Machine Learning Predictions of Panic Selling by Elkind, Daniel, Kaminski, Kathryn, Lo, Andrew W., Siah, Kien Wei, Wong, Chi Heem

“…We find that a disproportionate number of households make panic sales when there are sharp market downturns, a phenomenon we call ‘freaking out.’ …”

Design of optical building blocks for photonic integration by Chin, Mee Koy.

“…This non-overlapping property can be used to realize the "near-ideal" filter with flat and sharp passband, negligible sidelobes in the stop bands, and linear phase response over 80% of the passband. …”

The moral inefficacy of carbon offsetting by John, TM, Askell, A, Wilkinson, H

“…Indeed, we show that any moral theory that allows offsetting in this setting faces a dilemma between allowing any wrong to be offset, no matter how grievous, and recognising an implausibly sharp discontinuity between offsettable actions and non-offsettable actions. …”

Optical and core-level X-ray spectroscopy of correlated two-dimensional materials by Occhialini, Connor Alexander

“…We next investigate the broader class of triangular lattice nickel dihalides, NiX₂ (X = Cl, Br, I), to identify the origin of sharp optical excitations, i.e. excitons, in nickel-based vdW magnets. …”

Elastic-plastic fracture mechanics investigation on two interacting cracks by Lee, Jonathon Zhao Feng

“…It is found that the impact will be strongest at a particular angle from the sharp tip of the Zener-Stroh crack. The third step is to find the relationship between two cracks and a circular inclusion. …”

Optimal transport in Lorentzian synthetic spaces, synthetic timelike Ricci curvature lower bounds and applications by Cavalletti, F, Mondino, A

“…The third goal is to draw applications, most notably extending volume comparisons and Hawking singularity Theorem (in sharp form) to the synthetic setting. The framework of Lorentzian pre-length spaces includes as remarkable classes of examples: spacetimes endowed with a causally plain (or, more strongly, locally Lipschitz) continuous Lorentzian metric, closed cone structures, some approaches to quantum gravity.…”

Thermal analysis of failed-batch palm oil by differential scanning calorimetry by Che Man, Y.B., Swe, P.Z.
