Resources, conflict, and economic development in Africa by Adhvaryu, A, Fenske, J, Khanna, G, Nyshadham, A

“…We show that this relationship exists primarily when neighboring regions are resource-rich. When neighbors are resource-poor, own resources instead drive economic growth. …”

Superconductivity from repulsive interactions in Bernal-stacked bilayer graphene by Wagner, G, Kwan, Y, Bultinck, N, Simon, S, Ashok Parameswaran, S

“…A striking series of experiments have observed superconductivity in Bernal-stacked bilayer graphene (BBG) when the energy bands are flattened by applying an electrical displacement field. …”

Self-determination and the limits on the right to include by Erez, L, Banai, A

“…To address this lacuna, we examine the puzzle of permissible inclusion: when may states confer citizenship on individuals they have no prior obligation to include? …”

A model of information security and competition by de Cornière, A, Taylor, G

“…When firms are advertising-funded platforms, security plays a business-stealing role, and may be overprovided. …”

Rotation Inside Convex Kakeya Sets by Janzer, B

“…We also show that in three dimensions the answer is negative, even for the case when S is a line segment – but that in any dimension the first question has a positive answer when S is a line segment. …”

Observations on baboons, Papio anubis, in an arid region in Ethiopia by Aldrich-Blake, FP, Bunn, TK, Dunbar, RI, Headley, PM

“…The relationships between the various age-sex classes at a time when the troop is compact are investigated. These are shown to account for the types of party most commonly found when the troop is scattered. …”
