Success and failure in England's patent system: New evidence from patent applications, 1783–1834
Abstract Our understanding of the relationship between the English patent system and technical change during the industrial revolution is based entirely on the study of successful patents. We address this feature by providing the first study of unsuccessful patent applications in England during the first industrial revolution.

Managed Aquifer Recharge Operations and Design under Hydrologic Uncertainty
Integrated hydrologic modeling uses dual ensembles of MAR operations and IES‐derived parameters to evaluate mounding, inundation, and transport risks under climate extremes. Exceedance‐probability metrics quantify environmental risks across the MAR impact zone, showing drain‐controlled mound limits, recovery effects, and pathways to interdunal and ...

Genomic variation drives plant flavor diversification
This review explains how genomic variation shapes plant flavor by altering the biosynthetic and regulatory pathways of key attributes like sweetness, acidity, bitterness, piquancy, astringency, and aroma. It also discusses how multi‐omics, AI‐assisted breeding, and gene editing can translate this knowledge into plants with improved flavor, nutrition ...
