A Smithian Political Economy Approach for the Competition Law of the 21st Century

The Modern Law Review, EarlyView.
This study aims to show how a Smithian political economy approach could assist competition law in addressing the challenges of the 21st‐century economy. We revisit Smith's Wealth of Nations to provide a more nuanced understanding of his views, contrasting them with the prevailing libertarian interpretation called here ‘Chicago Smith’.

Racial Disparities in Financial Complaints and the Role of Corporate Social Attitudes

Journal of Accounting Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using consumer complaints filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau as a measure for the quality of financial products and services, we present evidence of racial disparities in the service quality received by consumers. Consumers in high‐minority communities file more complaints than those in low‐minority communities, and the racial

Influence of anticoagulant on the spectroscopic analysis of drying bovine blood pools

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Rapidly, untreated whole blood undergoes a clotting cascade, making forensic research that investigates “fresh” bloodletting events difficult. In bloodstain pattern analysis research, whole blood treated with anticoagulant is often used to prolong the usability of the blood and allow for transport and experimentation to simulate pattern ...

Insights on the phenology of the Asian longhorned tick (Haemaphysalis longicornis) using stored lipids

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Lipid analysis of field‐collected ticks unveiled a complex population structure and supports the potential for several stages to overwinter. Abstract The seasonality of Haemaphysalis longicornis in the United States comprises overlapping life stages in the spring and summer.

Adaptive divergence in reproductive seasonality and underlying physiological features fit Rattus norvegicus to live as opportunistic breeders

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Brown rats living at different latitudes have evolved reproductive patterns adapted to their local environments. Besides expected adaptive divergence in seasonality, a distinct regulating mechanism from typical seasonal breeders reveals how brown rats benefit from quicker semen production to live as opportunistic breeders.

Impact of Instrumentation Technique on Endodontic Treatment Quality in Curved Molars: A Retrospective Analysis

Australian Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This cross‐sectional study evaluated technical failures in root canal treatments (RCTs) of curved molars (> 10°) performed by undergraduate students and their association with instrumentation techniques. Evaluations included filling extension, density, taper and ledge/zip formation.

Manufacturing Order Matters? Exploring the Impact of Heat Treatment and Machining Sequences on the NiTi Instruments Properties

Australian Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study assessed how manufacturing sequence affects the metallurgical and mechanical properties of two nickel‐titanium instruments: Procodile Q (heat‐treated before machining) and Procodile +HT (heat‐treated after machining). Both instruments (n = 74 each, size 25/0.06) were analysed for design, NiTi composition, phase transformation ...

Using synthetic farm data to estimate individual nitrate leaching levels

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This article delineates a synthetic population generation scheme in an attempt to estimate individual nitrate leaching rates among Greek farms in the region of Thessaly. The proposed scheme relies upon the construction of a Bayesian network describing farming activities in the region, which, coupled with the use of nonparametric regression ...

Pimps, Star Chambers, Ratbags, and Westphalians: The Rhetoric of Reaction and Racial Discrimination in Australia, 1975–1995

Australian Journal of Politics &History, EarlyView.
Australian public debates about race have featured intense contests about free speech and identity, including about the federal Racial Discrimination Act (RDA). While these developments may be understood as reflecting the contemporary ascendency of “culture war” politics, they may in fact follow a familiar pattern of political contestation around ...
