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

“…<p>This thesis argues that actors use the patent system as part of a ‘delay-and-pay’ strategy to preserve drug prices for as long as possible by delaying generic/biosimilar market entry – and that they have a significant incentive to do so. …”

Temporal variability in host availability alters the outcome of competition between two parasitoid species by Wang, H, Liu, T, Sun, S, Lewis, OT, Xi, X

“…The outcome of this interspecific competition depended on host temporal variability, with&nbsp;<em>T. drosophilae</em>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<em>P. vindemiae</em>&nbsp;dominating in short and long host exposure treatments, respectively.</li> <li>These results can be explained by the combination of host availability and egg load of female adult parasitoids. …”

Tuning the shear thickening of suspensions through surface roughness and physico-chemical interactions by Bourrianne, Philippe, Niggel, Vincent, Polly, Gatien, Divoux, Thibaut, McKinley, Gareth H.

“…Finally, we demonstrate how mixtures of particles with opposing surface chemistry make it possible to finely tune the shear-thickening response of the suspension at a fixed volume fraction, paving the way for a fine control of the shear-thickening transition in engineering applications.…”
