Towards a Communicative Theory of Organizational Consent: Two Case Studies of Consent Contracts in Body Work

This essay offers four empirically grounded claims to build a communicative theory of organizational consent (CTOC): (a) communication is the substance of organizational consent, (b) revoking organizational consent requires (re)negotiation, (c) communicating (non)consent is a pow...

Power Switch Network Optimization Using Machine Learning for Inrush Current and Wakeup Latency Prediction

Today’s large-scale designs leverage power gating to achieve low power consumption, which necessitates the design of an efficient power switch network that accounts for both inrush current and wakeup latency. Optimizing this power switch network involves striking a balance betwee...

SKYLIGHT: A Scalable Hundred-Channel 3D Photonic In-Memory Tensor Core Architecture for Real-time AI Inference

The growing computational demands of artificial intelligence (AI) are challenging conventional electronics, making photonic computing a promising alternative. However, existing photonic architectures face fundamental scalability and reliability barriers. This paper introduces SKY...

Evidence for heavy iron isotopic enrichment at Earth’s core-mantle boundary

Ocean island basalts exhibit heavier and more variable iron isotopic compositions (δ56Fe) than mid-ocean ridge basalts, but the origin of these signatures remains unresolved. Here we investigate whether Fe-rich ultralow-velocity zones at the core-mantle boundary can provide a dee...

Deciphering Kinetic Principles of Dual‐Anion Electrolytes for Extreme Fast‐Charging Lithium‐Ion Batteries

ABSTRACT Tailoring Li + solvation coordination has been recognized as a strategy to enhance the electrochemical performance of lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) under extreme fast‐charging (XFC) conditions. Beyond weakening Li + solvation, increased Li–anion pairing plays a crucial ro...

Impaired but now diagnosable: Combining analytic frameworks for incorporating symptom weighting in the classification of full‐threshold and subthreshold posttraumatic stress disorder

Abstract Individuals with subthreshold posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) often experience significant impairment yet face barriers to care (e.g., insurance denials and exclusion from clinical trials) due to strict Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders ( DSM )–b...

Dynamics of deadly loyalist militia violence in Northern Ireland*

This project examines the dynamics of deadly violence by loyalist militias during Northern Ireland’s Troubles. Although the Troubles contained the typical civil conflict rivalry between an armed rebel group (Provisional Irish Republican Army) and the armed forces of the state, mo...

Timesheets, tantrums, and trust: Early childhood bedtime routines in a majority Black and Hispanic sample.

= 6.07 years; 50.04% non-Hispanic Black, 23.88% non-Hispanic White, and 22.26% Hispanic, 3.82% "other"). Results showed that maternal nonstandard employment was associated with a lower probability of using a bedtime routine and communication activities. Higher social capital was...

Urbanicity and County-Level Variation in Transitional Housing Placements for Transition-Age Youth in California Foster Care

The decentralized U.S. child welfare system has resulted in significant variation in practices and outcomes across states and counties. Despite growing attention to varying child welfare experiences based on urbanicity, particularly rural child welfare practice concerning younger...

Associations between Maternal Adiposity during Pregnancy and Neonatal Brain Cortical Development

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have suggested that obesity during pregnancy is associated with changes in child neurodevelopmental outcomes, indicating in utero effects of maternal obesity on offspring brain development. PURPOSE: This study aims to evaluate whether there are associ...

Possibilities Planning and the Minimal Viable Assessment: From Portfolio Design to Adaptive Decision Making

Planning under uncertainty can narrow action to a single path too early, limiting flexibility when conditions change. This article introduces possibilities planning as a portfolio-based approach to coordinated action and decision-making under uncertainty. Rather than converging t...
