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.

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 ...

The first case of Reel Syndrome in a dog after pacemaker implantation: A case report
Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.Reel Syndrome is a rare complication of permanent pacemaker implantation, characterised by the rotation of the device around its transverse axis, which causes the lead to coil around the generator and displacement, leading to pacing dysfunction. This report presents the first documented case of Reel Syndrome in a dog.

Ratcheting behavior of pressurized corroded straight pipe subjected to cyclic bending [PDF]
, 2019 The ratcheting behavior of pressurized corroded straight pipe subjected to cyclic bending is investigated using Chaboche model in the paper. The effects of defect length, depth and width and internal pressure on ratcheting strain are studied. The results

Cladistics, EarlyView.Abstract Replicated pairs of ancestral and evolutionarily derived populations provide opportunities to test hypotheses about the deterministic laws of evolution. The Asellus aquaticus species complex is an invertebrate model system with several independent surface‐to‐cave transitions and a complicated and unresolved evolutionary history.

Ratcheting Behavior of Sensitized Non-Conventional Austenitic Stainless Steel [PDF]
, 2015 The aim of this investigation is to study the effect of ratcheting behavior on a sensitized non-conventional austenitic stainless steel. The metallurgical investigation of solution annealed as well as sensitized stainless steels were carried out in order

Scientists’ warning on the global destruction of rock outcrop ecosystems
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Rock outcrops are geological formations that harbor a highly specialized biota adapted to harsh environmental conditions that differ from their surrounding landscapes. They are globally distributed, especially in old, highly weathered landscapes, and can function as habitat islands containing high levels of endemism and distinct evolutionary ...

Why Have CEO Pay Levels Become Less Diverse?
The Journal of Finance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper documents a new stylized fact: the cross‐sectional variation in CEO pay levels has declined precipitously in recent years. We offer one explanation for this decline, namely, firms are increasingly benchmarking CEO compensation to industry peers closest in size, thereby creating pay clusters.

Nonlinear Lamb wave for the assessment of ratcheting behavior in IF steel [PDF]
, 2017 This work demonstrates the use of nonlinear Lamb wave for characterizing the ratcheting behavior in interstitial free (IF) steel. Lamb wave has been used to measure the generated second harmonic component during ratcheting fatigue.
