The Revolving Door
The revolving door between the government and the private sector has long been presumed to lead to the capture of regulators by industry interests. A growing body of empirical literature, however, either finds no conclusive evidence of a capture effect or finds evidence of an opposite effect that the revolving door indeed results in more aggressive, not less aggressive, regulatory actions. To a...
متن کاملRevolving Door Scenario for
IN THIS ISSUE In this issue of Physics & Society, we continue our series on the risks of nuclear weapons after the Cold War. In their article Illicit Trafficking of Weapons-Usable Nuclear Material: Facts and Uncertainties, Lyudmila Zaitseva and Friedrich Steinhausler have provided us with a very detailed look at what is known about the smuggling of fissile materials. They have also provided a r...
متن کاملInductive Signals: Revolving vertebrates
An old idea about the relationship between arthropod and vertebrate body plans has been given new life by studies of the signalling genes controlling dorsal and ventral development in Drosophila and Xenopus.
متن کاملGuns, Privacy, and Crime
We investigate the impact of an information shock – the public exposure of the names and addresses of holders of handgun carry permits – on criminals’ propensity to commit crimes. In December 2008, a Memphis, TN newspaper published a searchable online database of names, zip codes, and ages of Tennessee handgun carry permit holders. Once news of the database publication spread, an intense and ac...
متن کاملRotational accelerations stabilize leading edge vortices on revolving fly wings.
The aerodynamic performance of hovering insects is largely explained by the presence of a stably attached leading edge vortex (LEV) on top of their wings. Although LEVs have been visualized on real, physically modeled, and simulated insects, the physical mechanisms responsible for their stability are poorly understood. To gain fundamental insight into LEV stability on flapping fly wings we expr...
