Commodifying legality? Who and what counts as legal in the Indonesian wood trade by Setyowati, A, McDermott, C

“…Given the market logic of legality licensing, it is more likely to “ratchet down” than “ratchet up” local access to, and benefit from, wood production, unless there is greater support and investment in legal and tenure reforms and improved local benefit capture.…”

RNA Polymerase and Transcription Mechanisms: The Forefront of Physicochemical Studies of Chemical Reactions by Nobuo Shimamoto, Masahiko Imashimizu

“…We show that chemical ratchet cannot be described with a single set of rate equations but alternative sets of rate equations that temporally switch no faster than the binding reaction.…”

Design of a NC machine tool for machining that is easy to change cutting tools by Wan Zhiqiang, Zhang Qingqing

“…The CNC machine tool for machining, which is convenient for replacing cutting tools, realizes the linkage between the cutting tool body and the adjusting gear by using the tooth block, and drives the adjusting rod to move by using the rotation of the screw rod to adjust the position between the pawl and the ratchet teeth. The rotation of the adjusting gear is limited by using the pawl and the ratchet teeth, so as to lock the cutting tool body and quickly disassemble and install the cutting tool body.…”

Relational incentive contracts with persistent private information by Malcomson, J

“…This result is related to the ratchet effect in that: (1) a type imitating a less productive type receives an information rent and (2) with full separation, one imitating a more productive type receives the same future payoff as that more productive type. …”

Extreme population structure and high interspecific divergence of the Silene Y chromosome. by Ironside, J, Filatov, D

“…This difference has been attributed to selective sweeps, Muller's ratchet, and background selection, processes that are predicted to severely affect the evolution of the nonrecombining Y chromosome. …”

Micro-sonic sensor technology enables enhanced grass height measurement by a Rising Plate Meter by D. McSweeney, N.E. Coughlan, R.N. Cuthbert, P. Halton, S. Ivanov

“…The micro-sonic sensor RPM was significantly more accurate for height capture than the cumulative ratchet counter RPM. Overall, across all heights, the cumulative ratchet counter RPM underestimated height by 7.68 ± 0.06 mm (mean ± SE). …”

Bidirectional flow of two-dimensional dusty plasma under asymmetric periodic substrates driven by unbiased external excitations by Wei Li, D. Huang, C. Reichhardt, C. J. O. Reichhardt, Yan Feng

“…It is discovered that by changing the amplitude and frequency of the unbiased sinusoidal external excitations, as well as the depth of the 1D asymmetric periodic substrate, both the direction and speed of the persistent particle flow can be adjusted, i.e., both the flow rectification and its reversal of the ratchet effect of the steady drift motion for particles are achieved using various excitations. …”

Rationalization enables cooperation and cultural evolution by Levy, N

“…I suggest a different explanation of rationalization: making representations available to other agents, to facilitate cooperation, transmission, and the ratchet effect that underlies cumulative cultural evolution.…”

Wages, government policy and unemployment by Wilkinson, F, Michie, J

“…Consequently, orthodox economic theory has added an upward twist to the stagnationist, high-unemployment ratchet.…”

The efficiency of different search strategies in estimating parsimony jackknife, bootstrap, and Bremer support by Müller Kai F

“…It is shown that the use of random addition cycles and parsimony ratchet iterations during bootstrapping does not translate into higher support, nor does any extension of the search extensiveness beyond the rather moderate effort of TBR (tree bisection and reconnection branch swapping) plus saving one tree per replicate. …”
