Bending Ratcheting Tests of Z2CND18.12 Stainless Steel

, 2010
A series of ratcheting experiments under bending loading for Z2CND18.12 stainless steel were carried out on a dynamic mechanical analyzer. The characteristic of progressive inelastic deformation of the material in the different temperatures and different

Crawling under the radar: Two novel Paulinella species expand knowledge about the ecology and evolution of a primary plastid‐containing amoeba lineage

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.

Laparoscopic Methylene Blue Photodynamic Therapy for Intraabdominal Infection: A Preclinical Feasibility Study in a Rabbit Model of Perforated Appendicitis. [PDF]

Lasers Surg Med
ABSTRACT Objectives Perforated appendicitis commonly results in intra‐abdominal infection requiring prolonged antibiotic therapy. Intraoperative antimicrobial adjuncts are limited, and photodynamic therapy (PDT) may provide a targeted, resistance‐independent approach.

Effect of ordering of cyclic loading sequences on the short-term performance of offshore monopiles in an overconsolidated clay

Applied Ocean Research
Wind and wave actions that vary in amplitude, frequency and direction cause irregular cyclic loading on monopiles supporting offshore wind turbines (OWTs), resulting in cumulative deformation.

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.

Testing the Assumptions of History‐Dependent Approaches to Regulation: Comparing Compliant Companies With Those That Transgress

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 ...

The Choice of Static Recovery Term Description to Address the Effect of Hold Time Periods of Load Cycles on the Ratcheting of Steel Samples at Room Temperature

Machines
The present study evaluates three static recovery term (SRT) formulations incorporated into the Ahmadzadeh–Varvani (A-V) kinematic hardening framework for predicting ratcheting under tensile peak hold loading at room temperature.
