Behave The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst / by Sapolsky, Robert M., author 656050, Penguin Random House (Online service) 655978

“…Sapolsky's storytelling concept is delightful but it also has a powerful intrinsic logic: he starts by looking at the factors that bear on a person's reaction in the precise moment a behavior occurs, and then hops back in time from there, in stages, ultimately ending up at the deep history of our species and its evolutionary legacy. …”

Zirconia spacer electrodes improve microstructural uniformity of flash sintered zirconia ceramics by Prajzler, V, Todd, R

“…A reference 3YSZ sample, which was sintered with stainless steel electrodes only, reached 98.2% of relative density with a notable grain size difference between the central (∼290 nm) and near-electrode parts (∼160 nm). The addition of 3YSZ spacer electrodes improved the final density to 98.9 % and reduced the grain size difference between the central (∼300 nm) and near-electrode parts (∼220 nm) almost by half compared to the reference sample.…”

Industrial policy refraction: how corporate strategy shapes development outcomes in Brazil by Zylberberg, E

“…My findings are brought to bear on three traditionally disparate bodies of research –industrial policy, corporate strategy and institutional theory – extending each and also bringing them into fruitful communion with one another.…”

Soft law, hard stakes? State commitment to non-binding international instruments and the case of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples by Villeneuve, L

“…In this thesis, incorporating insights from public international law into rationalist IR approaches, I argue that soft law instruments can have important effects over time and bring substantial costs for states to bear. This is particularly the case for soft law instruments ‘hardening’ through domestic law, treaties or customary international law, increasing the sovereignty and implementation costs attached to commitment. …”

Scalable cascade inference for semantic image segmentation by Sturgess, P, Ladický, L, Crook, N, Torr, PHS

“…Semantic image segmentation is a problem of simultaneous segmentation and recognition of an input image into regions and their associated categorical labels, such as person, car or cow. A popular way to achieve this goal is to assign a label to every pixel in the input image and impose simple structural constraints on the output label space. …”

Decentralized convergence to equilibrium prices in trading networks by Lock, E, Evans, BP, Kreacic, E, Bhatt, S, Koppel, A, Ganesh, S, Goldberg, PW

“…Our motivation comes from the fact that prices in markets such as over-the-counter markets and used car markets arise from decentralized negotiation among agents, which has left open an important question as to whether equilibrium prices can emerge from agent-to-agent bilateral negotiations. …”

Hidden order beyond hyperuniformity in critical absorbing states by Zheng, Yuanjian, Parmar, Anshul D. S., Ciamarra, Massimo Pica

“…Disordered hyperuniformity is a description of hidden correlations in point distributions revealed by an anomalous suppression in fluctuations of local density at various coarse-graining length scales. In the absorbing phase of models exhibiting an active-absorbing state transition, this suppression extends up to a hyperuniform length scale that diverges at the critical point. …”
