Shaping Future Children, Sex Selection, and “Normal” Human Capacities
ABSTRACT If we think that parents have an obligation to have a healthy child then we need to know what counts as healthy, when male and female children are born with very different capacities. If we give up on the idea that our obligations to use technologies of genetic selection are discharged once we try to secure the birth of a healthy child, as ...

Abstract The marronoid clade is a globally distributed, ecologically diverse group of spiders. It is an important faunal component in both natural and synanthropic environments, and even found in aquatic and extreme habitats such as desert salt flats. The systematics of the marronoid clade has been notoriously unstable due to the widespread character ...

The Generics Revolution and the New Economic Geography of the Global Pesticide Industry
ABSTRACT The global pesticide industry transformed from one dominated by patented products and legacy multinationals with strong manufacturing bases in the United States and EU to one dominated by generic products produced in India and China. We use proprietary market research data, data from regulatory filings, industry press and bilateral trade data ...

Capital‐Labour Substitution in Macroeconomics: A Survey of Mechanisms, Dynamics and Policy Insights
ABSTRACT Macroeconomic conclusions often hinge on a single, hard‐to‐pin‐down parameter: the elasticity of substitution between capital and labour, σ. This survey synthesises theory and evidence on how results change once we move beyond the Cobb–Douglas benchmark (σ=1$\sigma = 1$).

Introducing [Co(CN)6]3− defects into CoNi Prussian Blue analogues exposes square‐planar Ni–N4 active sites, leading to remarkable H2O2 selectivity during the electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction in alkaline media. ABSTRACT Decentralized electrosynthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) via the two‐electron oxygen reduction reaction (2e− ORR) offers a ...

Bifurcation phenomena in magnetically confined toroidal plasmas
Bifurcation phenomena observed in turbulence and transport, in topology of magnetic field and MHD, and the interplay between turbulence and MHD bifurcation in magnetically confined toroidal plasmas are reviewed.

Evaluating Perfusion Quantification for Phase‐Resolved Functional Lung MRI Using Gaussian Filtering
Current PREFUL perfusion quantification uses a slice‐wise median for the maximal blood exchange fraction ΔS, limiting regional information. Gaussian filtering (σ = 1.5) ΔS in perfusion calculation adds regional information and improves intrascan and interscan repeatability while preserving global and voxel‐wise correlations with DCE‐derived pulmonary ...

This review examines passive, active, and hybrid liquid manipulation strategies, highlighting hybrid approaches as an emerging route to reconcile energy efficiency with adaptive control. By actively reconstructing passive surfaces to store programmable interfacial energy, hybrid systems enable flexible yet low‐power liquid transport, with perspectives ...
