Delay-and-pay: prolonging pharmaceutical patent protection without paying the ‘price’ by Foss-Solbrekk, K

“…My doctrinal analysis establishes that the generic/biosimilar defendants’ loss is likely undercompensated and the money that national health authorities spent purchasing the more expensive, patented drug whilst the interim injunction remained in effect is not usually compensated following a patent revocation and discharged injunction. …”

Territorial movements of African lions: can waterholes shape multiple central-place territories in a savanna ecosystem? by Dejeante, R, Loveridge, A, Macdonald, D, Madlamoto, D, Chamaille-James, S, Valeix, M

“…We hypothesized that male lions would be more likely to patrol a buffer area around the territory core to defend a core area where social interactions with groupmates occur, whereas female lions would more specifically patrol hunting sites, i.e. waterhole areas. …”

Investigating the role of lysine demethylase UTX-1 in lifespan regulation of C. elegans by Guillermo, A

“…Overall, the work in this thesis, which also includes analysis of <em>cbp-1</em> (H3K27 acetyl transferase), suggests that lifespan regulation due to H3K27 modification is incredibly complex and that longevity is mediated differentially as a consequence of different doses of modifier, and in specific tissues, likely due to transcriptional changes mediated by the demethylase function of UTX-1.…”

On the hidden layer-to-layer topology of the representations of reality realised within neural networks by Gafvert, O, Grindrod, P, Harrington, HA, Higham, CF, Higham, DJ, Yim, KM

“…</p> <p><strong>Findings: </strong>We discuss some of the likely consequences of these relatively unforeseen characteristics and, in particular, the possible vulnerability of such algorithms to non-realistic perturbations. …”

Study on mechanism and influential factors of progressive collapse resistance of base-isolated structure by Bao, Chao, Zhang, Yuhang, Lv, Dahai, Wang, Huxiang, Ma, Xiaotong, Cao, Jixing, Lim, Kar Sing

“…In the case of side isolation bearing failure, due to the lack of sufficient lateral restraint, the capacity was significantly lower than other conditions, which were more likely to cause partly collapse. Therefore, setting more transfer paths to improve the structure’s resistance to progressive collapses was necessary. …”
