Managing Problem‐Framing in Public Procurement of Innovation: The Role of Control

open access: yesR&D Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Public procurement is increasingly employed as an instrument to stimulate innovation. However, little is known about how public actors manage problem‐framing processes in the context of public procurement of innovation. Drawing on the literature of problem‐framing and public procurement, we conduct an exploratory case study of three innovation

Doing Business in Zones of Legal Risk: Patterns of Corporate Involvement in Atrocity Crimes Since World War II

open access: yesRegulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Involvement of corporations in international crimes and conflict atrocities, such as crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide, are neither isolated events nor uncommon. Importantly, corporate involvement in atrocity crimes is shaped by conditions in “zones of legal risk” (International Commission of Jurists), where gross human rights ...

A search for lithium in metal-poor L dwarfs

open access: yes, 2015
The aim of the project is to search for lithium in absorption at 6707.8 Angstroms to constrain the nature and the mass of the brightest low-metallicity L-type dwarfs (refered to as L subdwarfs) identified in large-scale surveys.

Genetic diversity in RHD and RHCE genes among a selected Kenyan blood donor population

open access: yesTransfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Serologic typing for ABO and RhD is standard in transfusion services, with extended serology and genotyping performed to reduce red cell alloimmunization risk. In Kenya, RH typing is limited to RhD, and genotyping is unavailable. This study used RHD/RHCE genotyping to predict phenotypes and their distribution in a Kenyan blood donor

A new model for contact angle hysteresis of superhydrophobic surface

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2019
Contact angle hysteresis (CAH) is essential to characterize the wetting properties of a surface. But its underlying causes are not yet understood. A model relating to CAH is presented through mathematical deduction.

Cardiovascular Health in Children and Adolescents With Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia Due to 21-Hydroxilase Deficiency

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2019
Increasing evidence indicates that adults with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) may have a cluster of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors. In addition, ongoing research has highlighted that children and adolescents with CAH are also prone to developing ...
