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. …”

80 GHz on-chip metamaterial resonator by differential transmission line loaded with split ring resonator by Cai, Deyun, Shang, Yang, Yu, Hao, Ren, Junyan

“…Measurement results indicate that the proposed differential SRR (DSRR) T-line shows a sharp stopband with maximum 35 dB rejection. Moreover, the metamaterial property of the DSRR T-line is validated from the measurement results. …”

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. …”

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 battle for Asia in crude oil markets: an easier road ahead for India? by Sen, A

“…The first is the complete deregulation of major petroleum products prices and the second is the sharp fall in oil prices amidst a fight for market share in Asia among crude producers, implying importing countries like India are now spoilt for choice and in a far better position to bargain for better prices. …”

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. …”

Intensity of stress singularity for the circumferential V-shape corner front of a three-dimensional diamond-like defect by Ping, X. ., Zhang, Y. X., Guo, Y. B., Xiao, Z. M., Jalde, J., Chen, M. C.

A high-sensitivity 135GHz millimeter-wave imager by compact split-ring-resonator in 65-nm CMOS by Li, Nan, Yu, Hao, Yang, Chang, Shang, Yang, Li, Xiuping, Liu, Xiong

“…A high-sensitivity 135 GHz millimeter-wave imager is demonstrated in 65 nm CMOS by on-chip metamaterial resonator: a differential transmission-line (T-line) loaded with split-ring-resonator (DTL-SRR). Due to sharp stop-band introduced by the metamaterial load, high-Q oscillatory amplification can be achieved with high sensitivity when utilizing DTL-SRR as quench-controlled oscillator to provide regenerative detection. …”

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.…”
