The model of norm-regulated responsibility for proenvironmental behavior in the context of littering prevention by Ai, Pengya, Rosenthal, Sonny

“…It also showed that strong injunctive norms can reduce the inhibitory effect of descriptive norms on ascription of responsibility. These findings were consistent with several hypotheses constituting the model of norm-regulated responsibility, a novel explanatory framework offering new insights and a more nuanced and comprehensive understanding of social norms' influence on proenvironmental behavior.…”

15.975 Special Seminar in Management The Nuts and Bolts of Business Plans, January IAP 2005 by Hadzima, Joseph

“…Because some of the speakers will be judges of the MIT $50K Entrepreneurship Competition, persons who are planning to enter the Competition should find the course particularly useful. Historically, the number of students taking the course is 250+, divided approximately 50/50 between Scientist/Engineers and Sloan students.…”

Modelling the impact of testing, contact tracing and household quarantine on second waves of COVID-19 by Aleta, Alberto, Martín-Corral, David, Pastore y Piontti, Ana, Ajelli, Marco, Litvinova, Maria, Chinazzi, Matteo, Dean, Natalie E., Halloran, M. Elizabeth, Longini Jr, Ira M., Merler, Stefano, Pentland, Alex, Vespignani, Alessandro, Moro, Esteban, Moreno, Yamir

“…Here we integrate anonymized, geolocalized mobility data with census and demographic data to build a detailed agent-based model of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission in the Boston metropolitan area. We find that a period of strict social distancing followed by a robust level of testing, contact-tracing and household quarantine could keep the disease within the capacity of the healthcare system while enabling the reopening of economic activities. …”

All-sky search for gravitational wave emission from scalar boson clouds around spinning black holes in LIGO O3 data by Sudhir, Vivishek

“…Outliers from this search are followed up using two different methods, one more suitable for nearly monochromatic signals, and the other more robust towards frequency fluctuations. We do not find any evidence for such signals and set upper limits on the signal strain amplitude, the most stringent being ≈ 10 − 25 at around 130 Hz. …”

Self-ejection of salts and other foulants from superhydrophobic surfaces to enable sustainable anti-fouling by McBride, Samantha A., Lake, John R., Varanasi, Kripa K.

“…Counterintuitively, we find that the addition of “contaminant” chemistries can enable ejection under conditions where ejection was not observed for waters containing only sodium chloride salt (e.g., from smooth hydrophobic surfaces), and that increased concentrations of both surfactants and colloids lead to longer ejection lengths. …”

Electrostatic dust removal using adsorbed moisture–assisted charge induction for sustainable operation of solar panels by Panat, Sreedath, Varanasi, Kripa K.

“…Here, we present a waterless approach for dust removal from solar panels using electrostatic induction. We find that dust particles, despite primarily consisting of insulating silica, can be electrostatically repelled from electrodes due to charge induction assisted by adsorbed moisture. …”

The new physics case for beam-dump experiments with accelerated muon beams by Cesarotti, Cari, Gambhir, Rikab

“…We demonstrate the utility of muon beam-dump experiments for new physics searches at energies from 10 GeV to 5 TeV. We find that, even at low energies like those accessible at staging or demonstrator facilities, it is possible to probe new regions of parameter space for a variety of generic BSM models, including muonphilic, leptophilic, Lμ − Lτ, and dark photon scenarios. …”
