The “Pesticide Chip”: Chemical Legacies and Agrarian Futures in Costa Rica
Abstract For decades, agro‐industrial capital has adopted cascading chemical and biotechnical interventions, or fixes, to secure accumulation through the cultivation of monocrops. We develop a framework that centres on how monocrop‐induced susceptibility to pests and pathogens—and the patchwork of fixes to address these—produces uneven chemical ...

Abstract Did democratization reduce the likelihood of politically connected bank bailouts in the past? What role did private central banks play as independent lenders of last resort? To answer these questions, this article provides new detailed archival evidence on the causes of bank failures in Spain in July 1931.

Our research highlights the obvious effect of the underlying surface and the TC tracks on the TC precipitation and wind in Shanghai. The underlying surface in Shanghai significantly decreases the mean WS3s‐max, resulting in the lowest value in UB. Regarding the spatial distribution of mean Ptotal, both the underlying surface and TC structure exerted a ...

Abstract The Strathpeffer–Struie Lower Devonian LORS (Lower Old Red Sandstone) deposits of the Northern Highlands of Scotland contain the decidedly unusual ‘foetid beds’. These are interpreted as being deposited in a highly saline sulphate lake and associated playa mudflat, which developed in an intermontane basin in the Caledonian Mountains of ...

Activation of CLIP170 by CDKL5 in wild‐type (WT) cells promotes its open conformation and association with tyrosinated microtubule (MT) plus‐ends (+), where it works as a docking site to recruit the dynactin–dynein–cargo complex, promoting the initiation of retrograde transport. In knock‐out (KO) neurons, CLIP170 is mainly present in a closed (inactive)

Elastic Energy Storage in Biological Materials: Internal Stresses and Their Functionality
Harnessing and storing internally generated elastic energy is a clever strategy by biological materials to perform functions like shape transformation, movement, and predation. This review explores how biological systems manipulate mechanisms like atomic or protein integration into minerals, protein conformational shifts, phase transitions, and osmotic
