Plural indefinite articles: the case of unos and des
Semantics and Linguistic Theory, 2015 <p class="p1">Plurality typically comes in two flavors: an inclusive and an exclusive one. We exploit these different plurality ‘flavors’ to argue that there are two types of plural indefinite articles, each with their own characteristics with respect to ‘blocking’ and aspect.

Private Land Ownership: Tax or Socialize?
The American Journal of Economics and Sociology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study compares the land reform concepts of Henry George and Silvio Gesell, both of whom rejected private appropriation of land rent as unjust. While George proposed to “hollow out” private land ownership through a comprehensive land value tax, Gesell aimed at full socialization of land combined with lease auctions and compensation of ...

Disciplining the “Queen of the World”? Responsible Innovation as a Way of Life
Business Ethics, the Environment &Responsibility, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper offers a critical reflection on the concept of responsible innovation as defined during the last decades. We argue that the emphasis on innovation as a process risks neglecting the very goals of innovation, namely societal desirability and acceptability. Thus, we suggest reconsidering the role of imagination, the “Queen of the world”

Targeting protein–protein interactions with reversible covalent modalities: Non‐cysteine chemistries
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Abstract Protein–protein interactions (PPIs) are central to diverse cellular functions, and represent a rapidly expanding class of therapeutic targets. Advancements in covalent drug design have enabled small‐molecule drugs to overcome challenges associated with engaging these targets, such as limited durations of action and difficult‐to‐drug (expansive,

Progressively Projected Newton's Method
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Newton's Method is widely used to find the solution of complex non‐linear simulation problems. To guarantee a descent direction, it is common practice to clamp the negative eigenvalues of each element Hessian prior to assembly—a strategy known as Projected Newton (PN)—but this perturbation often hinders convergence.
