Drawback of Social Welfare Function

The Rawlsian social welfare function, introduced by philosopher John Rawls, is a framework in welfare economics that assesses societal well-being by focusing on the utility of the least advantaged members. This approach aligns with Rawls's theory of justice, which posits that a just society should prioritize improving the conditions of its most disadvantaged individuals.Consider a society with three individuals:Individual A: Utility level of 8Individual B: Utility level of 4Individual C:...

Scalable engineered blood vessels would improve clinical applicability. Using easily sizable 3D-printed guides, rings of vascular smooth muscle were created and stacked into a tubular form, forming a vascular graft. Grafts can be sized to meet the range of human coronary artery dimensions by simply changing the 3D-printed guide size.

The ability of metastatic clones to colonize distant sites depends on their proliferation capacity and/or their ability to survive in the host microenvironment without significant proliferation. Here, we present an animal model that allows quantitative visualization of both types of liver colonization by metastatic clones.
FAQs
Preserving relative geometry lets the final fiber retain the intended arrangement of cores, hollow channels, and cladding features as its overall diameter decreases. This dimensional scaling is central to engineering fibers with designed internal structures, because changes in spacing or shape could alter the resulting light-guidance behavior.
Heating softens the glass enough for drawing to reduce the structure’s diameter, while the arrangement of its elements remains proportionally organized. The balance between softening and drawing therefore determines whether the fabricated fiber maintains the planned core, channel, and cladding configuration needed for specialized optical properties.
Repeated drawing can further refine the fiber’s internal structure after an initial reduction in size. This additional refinement supports tighter control over the geometry of hollow channels, cladding features, and core configurations, giving engineers another way to produce fibers whose optical behavior is tailored to a particular design.
Fabrication begins by arranging glass rods and capillaries into a stacked preform. The preform is then heated until the glass softens and drawn to reduce its diameter while preserving the relative arrangement of the components. If further structural refinement is needed, the drawing process can be repeated.
The resulting internal geometry can support tailored light guidance by controlling features such as hollow channels, cladding regions, and core configurations. In engineering research, this makes it possible to create fibers with specialized optical properties rather than relying on a single fixed structure, expanding the range of fiber designs available for experiments and devices.
Fibers fabricated through this approach are used in telecommunications, sensing, nonlinear optics, and other applications requiring specialized optical properties. Their value comes from the ability to engineer internal structures that influence light guidance, allowing the same general fabrication strategy to support different performance goals across optical-fiber engineering.
