Biotribology inspires new technologies
This review deals with natural biotribological systems and how they have inspired novel microand nanotechnological applications. The biogenic devices presented here have functional units in the microand nanometer regime and have been evolutionarily optimized over millions of years. The examples discussed comprise natural micromechanical systems made of nanostructured silica (diatoms produce hin...
متن کاملWhat Inspires Leisure Time Invention?
This paper seeks to understand the intriguing but only sparsely explored phenomenon of “leisure time invention,” where the main underlying idea for the new product or process occurs when the inventor is away from the workplace. We add to previous research by focussing on the inventive creativity of the individual researcher, and reassessing the image of researchers inventing during unpaid time ...

such damage can cause deleterious effects in the offspring, such as birth defects or childhood cancers (Aiken and Sawyer. Adv Exp Med Biol. 2003;518: 85-98). Zini noted that pregnancy is possible despite some degree of DNA damage, but little work has been done to evaluate the potential influence of sperm DNA damage on the health of resultant offspring. This may be particularly relevant for ICSI...
متن کاملPervasive Stickiness
This paper explores a macroeconomic model of the business cycle in which stickiness of information is a pervasive feature of the environment. Prices, wages, and consumption are all assumed to be set, to some degree, based on outdated information sets. We show that a model with such pervasive stickiness is better at matching some key facts that describe economic fluctuations than is either a ben...
متن کاملAggregate Price Stickiness
We accomplish two tasks to characterize aggregate price stickiness in this paper. First, we endogenize β, the fraction of the firms keeping their price unchanged following a money supply shock in the near-rationality model (Akerlof and Yellen, 1985) by introducing a distribution of price-adjustment barriers among the firms into the near-rationality model. Second, as β can be considered an indic...
