Endogenous institutionalism and the puzzle of gender quotas: insights from Latin America by Gatto, MLAC

“…</p> <p>To evaluate the plausibility of my theory, I employ a series of multi-method and multi-level analyses presented across five substantive chapters, each of which is respectively based on: 1) a cross-sectional analysis of Latin America countries; 2) an elite survey experiment with Brazilian state legislators; and, in-depth process tracing of the cases of gender quota adoption in 3) Costa Rica; 4) Brazil; and, 5) Chile.</p> <p>The work makes three main contributions. Firstly, although previously identified, the resistance of male legislators towards gender quotas had never been systematically analysed in a comparative manner; focusing on the behaviour of male incumbents is thus a relevant contribution. …”

Transfer function compensation in gyroscope-free inertial measurement units for accurate angular motion sensing by Latt, Win Tun, Riviere, Cameron N, Ang, Wei Tech, Tan, U Xuan

“…However, the effect of nonidentical transfer functions of accelerometers on the accuracy of angular motion sensing has been underestimated and never been taken into consideration. In this letter, significant effect of different phases at different accelerometer outputs due to nonidentical transfer functions on the accuracy is highlighted, and a method is proposed to make the transfer functions of all the accelerometers identical. …”
