Double-Sided Externalities and Vertical Contracting : Evidence from European Franchising Data [PDF]

This paper deals with contractual design and vertical relationships within a franchise chain, in the field of the literature on share contracts. Within a double-sided moral hazard, the contract sharing the profit generated by the vertical decentralized ...

A ROS‐Responsive and Mucoadhesive Thermosensitive Hydrogel Encapsulated with Mizoribine for Synergistic Dry Eye Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The ROS‐responsive in situ thermosensitive MZR@SPPP hydrogel system enables dual‐stage drug loading and sustained ocular delivery. Upon administration, it gelates at ocular surface temperature, enhancing ocular adhesion. By scavenging free radicals, restoring NRF2‐mediated antioxidant defense and mitochondrial homeostasis, and suppressing inflammatory ...

Coarse‐Grained Simulations Rationalize Thermosensitivity and Hydrolytic Degradation of Vinyl Copolymers Obtained by Radical Ring‐Opening Polymerization

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Coarse‐grained (CG) molecular dynamics simulations were used to predict the upper critical solution temperature of copolymers obtained by radical ring‐opening copolymerization of cyclic ketene acetals and vinyl monomers, and to account for their unique degradation kinetics under physiological conditions by evaluating the solvation of their ester groups.

Tumor‐Intrinsic HEXB Drives Endothelial‐To‐Mesenchymal Transition and Confers Resistance to Anti‐Angiogenic Therapy in Glioblastoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study elucidates how glioblastoma tumors develop resistance to anti‐VEGF therapy through endothelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition (Endo‐MT). The researchers identify a novel signaling pathway where tumor‐derived HEXB stabilizes HSP60 to drive this vascular reprogramming.

Mechanistic Origin of Capacity Limitation in Sidorenkite‐Type Na3‐xFe(PO4)(CO3) Carbonophosphate Cathodes for Na‐Ion Batteries

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
The potential–capacity profile reveals a one‐electron limitation in sidorenkite Na3−xFe(PO4)(CO3). Structural analysis shows that Fe4+ formation induces lattice strain and suppresses electronic conductivity, blocking further Na extraction. These findings establish key design rules: preserve crystallinity, avoid Jahn–Teller–active d4 configurations, and

Stochastic Locomotion Emerging From Body–Environment Interactions in a Mexican Jumping Bean–Inspired Robot

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Inspired by the Mexican jumping bean, this study presents a centimeter‐scale, electronics‐free robot that merges principles from both the animal and plant kingdoms. A thermo‐responsive actuator mimicking larval motion, enclosed within a uniquely shaped plant‐seed‐inspired shell, generates jumping, rolling, flipping, sliding, and climbing through ...

Can price discrimination lead to product differentiation? A vertical differentiation model [PDF]

In this paper, I compare two-part tariff competition to linear pricing in a vertically differentiated duopoly. Consumers have identical tastes for quality but differ in their preferences for quantity.
