Pursuing patents for their own sake: How the investment discourse shapes patent quality and quantity
The Journal of World Intellectual Property, EarlyView.Abstract Patent systems worldwide face criticisms over declining patent quality and increasing patent quantity. While most research focuses on strengthening examination rigour, this article turns attention to relatively underexplored patenting incentives.

Bridge pier scour under pressure flow conditions
Rivers Research and Applications: an international journal devoted to river research and management, 2019 The probability of pressurized flow conditions occurring in existing bridges is forecast to increase due to possible changes in extreme precipitation, storm surges, and flooding predicted under climate change scenarios. The presence of a pressure flow is

What Does Intarsia Say? Materiality and Spirituality in the Urbino Studiolo☆
Renaissance Studies, EarlyView.Abstract Upon entering the Urbino studiolo of Federico da Montefeltro, the visitor is struck by a material‐charged environment. Surprisingly, only a few scholars have addressed one prominent aspect of the decorative scheme, namely, the feature of intarsia as a medium. Even so, it remains on the sidelines of the discussion.
