Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.Polyester with the structure of 2‐thioethyl ester reveals oxidative degradability via the oxidation to sulfone followed by base‐promoted β‐elimination. Since the degradation occurs by the nonnatural stimuli, these polymers are stable during use but can be degraded at the desired instant after use.

Hopf algebras, coproducts and symbols: an application to Higgs boson amplitudes
, 2012 We show how the Hopf algebra structure of multiple polylogarithms can be used to simplify complicated expressions for multi-loop amplitudes in perturbative quantum field theory and we argue that, unlike the recently popularized symbol-based approach, the

Freedom of Scientific Inquiry and Democracy. A Systems‐Theoretical Approach
Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The article examines the relationship between democracy and one of its inherent features: freedom of scientific inquiry—a multi‐layered concept closely intertwined with the broader notion of academic freedom—both of which are increasingly under threat worldwide. The paper advocates for the use of Luhmann's theoretical framework to analyse this

Niklas Luhmann's theory of social systems is used to show how semantic constructions such as ‘systemic causes’ rhetorically blur responsibility and contribute ...

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT George Herbert Mead is an oft forgotten or ignored American philosopher who was one of the originators of pragmatism. Today, he is recognised as a creative thinker who has teased out knotty problems that others in the field had not realised were problems. Understanding Mead's analysis has been made difficult because he died prematurely without
