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.

Study on Horizontal Displacement Response of Bridge Pier Tops Under Bidirectional Seismic Excitation
Shock and VibrationThe near-field vertical seismic action not only causes an increase in the pressure endured by the bridge pier but also exerts a remarkable influence on the horizontal deformation at the top of the pier.

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.Modern confined masonry (CM) construction consists of masonry walls confined by reinforced concrete (RC) tie‐columns and tie‐beams. When built correctly, CM buildings have shown good performance in earthquake's shaking. Even though CM construction has been practised for almost a century in some Latin American countries, its use and standardisation are ...

Quantification of the Effect of Bridge Pier Encasement on Headwater Elevation Using HEC-RAS
Hydrology, 2019 The deterioration of bridge substructure is a serious concern across the United States. The pier encasement is one of the most common practices for repairing and strengthening the bridge substructure. It is a rehabilitation process of existing pile piers

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 10, October 2026.A 5‐day field study on Cayo Santiago shows that standardized dental exams, oral sampling, and portable radiography can be performed in free‐ranging rhesus macaques. Tongue swabs yielded enough protein for inflammatory profiling, whereas gingival fluid samples did not, enabling scalable studies of oral health and aging.
