Achieving higher gains in the density and power consumption of digital electronic processors is becoming progressively challenging due to reaching the limits of miniaturization and integration techniques. Consequently, there is a growing appreciation of unconventional computing paradigms that dismiss classic assumptions on what computation entails and leverage the intrinsic dynamics of alternate physical substrates to create special-purpose computing devices. Metamaterials hold significant promise for constructing the next generation of machines, wherein computation and function are no longer decoupled but combined in a mechanical computing system that interacts with and adapts to its environment.Granular materials are particularly intriguing for advancing this vision because their discrete nature allows for highly tunable nonlinear dynamics that can be shaped by altering material properties, geometry, and configuration of grains. However, the absence of general mechanistic theories of computation and the daunting complexity of macro-micro relations in granular materials impede the discovery and realization of computational granular machines. This thesis is focused on devising methods that can expand the design space of such machines beyond human intuition and provide the opportunity to systematically traverse their high-dimensional parameter space to find materials with the desired functionalities. We begin by exploring the dynamics of the granular materials and present a data-driven analysis pipeline based on the modern Koopman theory. Next, we delve into their application in the unconventional computing paradigm and establish a framework for wave-based computing in harmonically driven granular materials. Following that, we develop an optimization pipeline using Evolutionary Algorithms and utilize it in a series of experiments to demonstrate the computational capabilities of disordered granular configurations. The results indicate that granular materials have strongly nonlinear dynamics that can be exploited to polycompute universal logic functions. Further, we develop a gradient-based optimization pipeline and show that it discovers more efficient configurations with less computational effort. Lastly, the physical realization of computational granular materials is discussed, and some preliminary outcomes are presented. Overall, the results presented in this thesis could serve as a universal tool for optimizing granular assemblies with desired temporal and spatial responses and offer insights into design principles that can guide the realization of increasingly multifunctional granular machines.

Good institutional quality (function) and similar institutional design (form) can promote international trade by reducing transactions costs. The authors evaluate the relative importance of function versus form in a gravity model, using an indicator of different legal systems as a proxy for differences in form, together with indicators of overall institutional quality. They find that good institutions promote trade much more than similar legal systems and have much more explanatory power. This effect is economically large-up to 10 times the effect of different legal systems. Moreover, better infrastructure matters as much as good institutions.

A higher purpose is not simply about profit. Symbolising the motivations of our actions and efforts, it reflects something much more aspirational and contributes to our global society. This open access book offers novel solutions to ensure employees support a wider organizational meaning whilst guaranteeing that the company benefits from the employee’s individual sense of purpose. Advocating a shift from previous models and theories, this book contributes to debate and offers insight for both scholars and practitioners. The chapters bring together academic rigour and practical models to help readers distinguish between the fads and influential strategies. Exploring the development of purpose at each level of business, from strategy and leadership to communication, this book avoids theoretical jargon and provides new approaches to building sustainable purpose-driven organizations. This is an Open Access book sponsored by DPMC Spain, UIC Barcelona and Corporate Excellence - Centre for Reputation Leadership

Nine distinguished contributors, all leading experts and scholars in multilingual EU Law making, legal translation studies, comparative law or European (private) law, explore and analyse the legal translation praxis within EU legislative institutions appropriate for the purpose of legal harmonization, and examine both the potential and limitations of legal translation in the context of the developments of a single but multilingual EU Legal language.
