Giant nonreciprocal magnetotransport in bulk trigonal superconductor PbTaSe_{2}

Physical Review Research, 2020
We report giant bulk rectification in the bulk trigonal superconductor PbTaSe_{2}. Nonreciprocal magnetotransport originating from a vortex ratchet motion was successfully observed, showing a significant enhancement during the superconducting transition,

The Feasibility of Household Food Waste Reduction in Finland: Insights From Five Consumer Profiles

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We apply a household production framework to analyse how changes in cooking skills, waste‐abatement costs and wage rates influence the food waste behaviour of five consumer profiles in Finland. We find that achieving a given reduction in food waste through skill‐enhancing interventions induces larger behavioural adjustments than equivalent ...

Vortex ratchet induced by controlled edge roughness

New Journal of Physics, 2013
We demonstrate theoretically and experimentally the generation of rectified mean vortex displacement resulting from a controlled difference between the surface barriers at the opposite borders of a superconducting strip.

Ratchet-traction effect: An underdiagnosed mechanism of pacing lead dislodgement

Indian Heart Journal, 2014
Pacing lead dislodgement contributes substantially, to the list of causes of early pacemaker failure. Reel's syndrome is a rare cause of pacemaker failure, resulting from the dislodging of pacing electrodes by manipulation of the pulse generator by the ...

Ratchet Hall effect in fluctuating superconductors

Physical Review B
We propose a superconducting ratchet-induced Hall effect (RHE), characterized by the emergence of a unidirectional, rectified flux of fluctuating Cooper pairs in a two-dimensional thin film exposed to an external electromagnetic field. The RHE is a second-order response with respect to the electromagnetic field amplitude.

Does Inequality Blur Class Lines? Meritocratic Attitudes in Comparative Perspective

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Scholars of inequality generally find that lower‐class individuals are more skeptical of meritocratic narratives that link economic success to individual work effort. However, past research has yielded inconclusive findings about how economic inequality affects meritocratic attitudes across different class groups.

How Due Diligence Transforms Private Sustainability Governance: The Case of the Global Organic Textile Standard

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Growing awareness of social and environmental risks in global supply chains has driven a shift from voluntary corporate responsibility toward mandatory due diligence legislation. These emerging regulatory frameworks require businesses to identify, prevent, and mitigate adverse human rights and environmental impacts, thereby redefining the ...

Climate Delegates' Views on the Dynamic Incentive Mechanism Under the Paris Agreement

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Paris Agreement establishes a bottom‐up global action plan with the aim of limiting global warming to well below 2°C above preindustrial levels, where countries should pledge Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) of the highest possible ambition. The design of the agreement gives national authorities the freedom to decide on their own

When Accounting Qualities Collide: Accruals Quality, Comparability and Information Risk in SEO Underpricing

Accounting &Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine how accounting quality attributes jointly mitigate underpricing associated with two dimensions of information risk in seasoned equity offerings (SEOs). In information environments with relatively more potent information asymmetry, the evidence suggests that accruals quality and accounting comparability act as substitutes; i.e ...
