Architecture and the Limits of Experience: Spatial Apparatuses of Knowledge, Power, and the Self
This article examines the problem of experience in architectural discourse by proposing a historico-critical framework that reconceptualizes architecture as a technology of framing. Drawing on Bernard Cache’s approach to architecture as a generative system of frames and Michel Fo...

Executive Aggrandizement: Understanding the Silent Erosion of Democratic Constraints
ABSTRACT Studies of executive aggrandizement face a double measurement problem. Measures of aggrandizement may include institutions that constitute liberal democracy, while broad composites may treat substantively different executive practices as interchangeable. This article dev...

A recurrent neuronal model for the effect of predictions on sensory processes
Predictions, prior knowledge, and expectations strongly influence sensory processing and decision-making, yet the neural mechanisms underlying these effects remain a central question in sensory neuroscience. Although the well-established predictive coding model has gained tractio...

Propagation of Immigration Shocks through Firm-to-Firm Trade Networks,
Abstract This paper investigates the extent to which an immigration shock to a region propagates through supply chains. Using the unexpected arrival of Syrian refugees, who are densely concentrated in border regions of Turkey, we estimate how firms across the country are affected...

Abstract A cascade spirocyclization–difunctionalization of bicyclobutyl-tethered aldehyde hydrazones with N-halosuccinimides was smoothly performed to access diverse halo-succinimide-containing diazaspiro[3.3]heptan-3-ones. Meanwhile, the three-component rearrangement of bicyclob...

Higher Participation but Lower Pay? Occupational Segregation and the Wage Penalty in Turkey
Women's labor market participation rate in Turkey hit its lowest value in the mid-2000s at 23 percent and has been rising since then. The latest statistics put this figure at 35.1 percent. Just as more women are entering the labor market and turning to wage employment, occupation...

Systematic Review of the Global Patterns and Determinants of International Student Mobility
ABSTRACT This systematic literature review synthesizes and analyses a corpus of 140 studies on the size and flows of international student mobility (ISM), as well as its determinants. The review confirms a consistent global increase in international students, albeit experienced d...

Abstract Despite the promise of alkali/urea aqueous solutions as green solvents, the atomistic-scale mechanism of chitin dissolution remains elusive. In contrast to the ability to dissolve cellulose, the order of alkali effectiveness for dissolving chitin is potassium hydroxide (...

Artificial intelligence-assisted performance prediction of Francis turbine
Purpose The purpose of this study is to assess the technical and economic feasibility of integrating a Francis-type micro-hydropower turbine into a pressurized drinking water pipeline using data-driven performance prediction. Daily flow rate time series are forecast using deep le...

Synergistic Dual‐Channel Charge Separation in Cr‐TiO 2‐x for Solar H 2 O 2 Synthesis
ABSTRACT Solar‐driven hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) synthesis offers a sustainable alternative to the energy‐intensive anthraquinone process, yet its efficiency is fundamentally constrained by the inability to simultaneously harness photogenerated electrons and holes in a balanced...

Abstract Populus deltoides “Shalinyang” (PdS) displays reduced tolerance to abiotic stresses. SINA (seven in absentia) proteins, a subtype of E3 ubiquitin ligases, play crucial roles in regulating plant growth and responses to abiotic stresses. However, the characteristics and po...

Abstract Surface Frenkel defects are an important source of nonradiative carrier losses in formamidinium lead iodide (FAPbI3) perovskites; however, the microscopic mechanisms by which molecular geometry regulates defect-mediated excited-state dynamics remain poorly understood. He...
