Microscopic origin of granular ratcheting
, 2008 International audienceNumerical simulations of assemblies of grains under cyclic loading exhibit "granular ratcheting:" a small net deformation occurs with each cycle, leading to a linear accumulation of deformation with cycle number.

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.Abstract The genus Paulinella represents a rare, independent case of primary endosymbiosis, providing a unique system to study the early stages of organelle evolution. Here, we expand current understanding of primary plastid endosymbiosis through the discovery and characterization of two novel photosynthetic amoebae, Paulinella marae sp. nov.

Pursuing patents for their own sake: How the investment discourse shapes patent quality and quantity
The Journal of World Intellectual Property, EarlyView.Abstract Patent systems worldwide face criticisms over declining patent quality and increasing patent quantity. While most research focuses on strengthening examination rigour, this article turns attention to relatively underexplored patenting incentives.

Epistocracy and the Commitment Problem
Philosophy &Public Affairs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The epistocracy debate has turned largely on the character of the electorate—what voters know, whether competence filters can be designed well, and what filtered selection produces. Another strand has focused on the legitimacy of epistocratic justifications. I ask instead about the equilibrium effects of the institution.

International commitments on climate‐friendly investment liberalisation: A green straitjacket?
Review of European, Comparative &International Environmental Law, EarlyView.Abstract Meeting the objectives of the Paris Agreement will require considerable capital mobilisation. International investment agreements (IIAs) govern and promote financial flows. However, their alignment with international climate objectives has, thus far, either been non‐existent or insufficient.

Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Risk‐based approaches to regulatory governance are ubiquitous. One aspect of such approaches suggests regulators direct their attention towards companies that have already violated regulations. However, such approaches have made little use of available data to explore these companies, especially compared to companies that do not transgress ...
