Buchanan and the Social Contract: Coordination Failures and the Atrophy of Property Rights

open access: yesSouthern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT James Buchanan advocated that societies should be based on a social contract. He rejected anarchy, seeing it as a “Hobbesian jungle” that calls for government intervention to maintain social order. He also opposed theories of spontaneous order. These views led to debates about the compatibility of Buchanan's works with classical liberalism and

A Pedagogy of Wonder: A Spoken Word Poetic Inquiry Into the Complexities of Trauma and Teaching in TESOL

open access: yesTESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract This forum piece begins with a spoken word poem titled A Pedagogy of Wonder, performed by the author, through which the intersections of trauma, language teaching, and creative inquiry are explored. While TESOL scholarship has predominantly focused on refugee‐background or international students as “traumatized populations,” and on trauma ...

Enhanced Microbial Sensing via Resazurin Reduction Catalyzed by Graphene Oxide, A Versatile Approach for Diagnostics and Electrochemical Applications

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Resazurin is a cell viability phenoxazine dye widely employed for bacterial monitoring, as its colorimetric and fluorometric conversion reflects microbial metabolic activity. In this work, we demonstrate that graphene oxide (GO), a two‐dimensional nanomaterial with high surface reactivity, markedly accelerates the reduction of resazurin in the

‘Using anuran community diversity and Pseudacris crucifer to predict landscape quality across a land use gradient'

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
As human‐modified landscape and climate changes proliferate, maintaining biodiversity and understanding the function and quality of available habitat is imperative. As anurans (frogs/toads) such as Pseudacris crucifer, can be an indicator species of habitat quality and ecosystem productivity, studying the anuran community in a mixed‐land use region ...

Gender, Families, and Wealth Accumulation Among the One‐Child Generation

open access: yesThe British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Prior literature on gender and wealth accumulation largely examines the role of families in reproducing inequalities. However, less attention has been paid to families without sons, a significant demographic, particularly within China's one‐child generation, that challenges conventional understandings of familial wealth dynamics.

DsiRNA‐mediated silencing of Ceratitis capitata transformer or transformer‐2 leads to masculinization of XX embryos and systemic gene silencing in ovaries

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
We carried out functional studies using Dicer‐substrate small interfering RNAs (DsiRNAs), targeting the sex determination genes Cctransformer (Cctra) and Cctransformer‐2 (Cctra‐2) in the Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata). Microinjection of DsiRNAs into XX embryos (0‐1 h old) rapidly triggered the expression of male‐specific Cctra isoforms ...

Location–scale models in ecology and evolution: Heteroscedasticity in continuous, count and proportion data

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Biological data often violate the assumption of constant variance, yet such heteroscedasticity can reflect meaningful biological processes such as plasticity, canalization or stress responses. Despite this, most models treat variance as statistical noise. Here, we reintroduce location–scale regression as a general framework that jointly models
