In this work, mixing and co-gelation of Au nanoparticles (NPs) highly luminescent CdSe/CdS core/shell nanorods (NRs) are used as tools to obtain noble metal particle-decorated macroscopic semiconductor gel networks. The hybrid nature the macrostructures facilitates control over optical properties: while holes trapped in CdSe cores, connected NRs support mobility excited electrons throughout por...

Abstract Magnetic reconnection at the magnetopause has long been studied with multi‐spacecraft observations. In this work, data from five satellite THEMIS mission during years of 2008–2010 are used to generate statistics regarding spatial extent reconnection. The presence a reconnecting is determined Walén relation as two satellites cross simultaneously. some cases both measure whereas in other...

In this paper, we extend field experiments of real money prediction markets to the problem of forecasting the success of a new product. We collect forecasts using a traditional survey mechanism and a market mechanism. Our results suggest that market prices summarize the information contained in survey forecasts and improve those forecasts by reducing the variability of the forecast. However, we...
