Nietzsche and the significance of genealogy by Prescott-Couch, A

“…On this view, Nietzsche provides a ‘deconstructive genealogy’ that indicates whether and where we should expect to find unity in our current moral practices. Moreover, Nietzsche’s history contributes to a critique of contemporary morality because it reveals that morality is unlikely to have the kind of unity required by many of its defenders. …”

Should investors care where private equity managers went to school? by Fuchs, F, Füss, R, Jenkinson, T, Morkoetter, S

“…In particular, we explore three potential channels of how their educational background may influence fund performance: (i) institutional quality, (ii) individual performance, and (iii) academic variety. We find that a combination of top-tier education and work experience identifies individual performance in the management team. …”

Topological phase transition in quasi-one-dimensional bismuth iodide Bi 4 I 4 by Zhao, WX, Yang, M, Du, X, Li, YD, Zhai, KY, Hu, YQ, Han, JF, Huang, Y, Liu, ZK, Yao, YG, Zhuang, JC, Du, Y, Zhou, JJ, Chen, YL, Yang, LX

“…By tracking the temperature evolution of the (100) surface states, we unveil a thermal hysteresis of the surface gap in line with the α-β structural phase transition. Our findings directly evidence a temperature-induced topological phase transition from WTI to HOTI in Bi4I4, which paves the way to its potential applications at room temperature.…”

Molecular characterization of microbial interactions with labile dissolved organic matter by Halloran, Kathryn H.
