Economic interpretations, in particular the lens of the Industrial Revolution, have strongly influenced our understanding of the rise of intellectual property. This article examines the political origins of the 1791 patent law in France, which is usually s ...

The basis of the discrete element method is to model masses interacting with each other through different forces and constraints. On each mass, the second law of Newton is applied to obtain a differential equation. From this equation and boundary condition ...

Writing/Drawing/Modeling Inventions: Regimes of Description and the ‘Intellectual’ in IP, France-United States ca. 1790-1850

Jérôme Baudry

In 1791, one year after the first US Patent Act, the French ‘Loi relative aux découvertes utiles’ sought to revolutionize the Ancien Régime’s privileges of invention, turning them into new patents or ‘brevets d’invention’. Not only did the law recast ci-de ...

Agency conflicts around the world

Erwan Morellec, Boris Nikolov

We use a dynamic model of financing decisions to measure agency conflicts for a large panel of 12,652 firms from 14 countries. Our estimates show that agency conflicts are large and vary significantly across firms and countries. Differences in agency confl ...

Multiple Objectives of Lawful-Surveillance Protocols

Bryan Alexander Ford

In recent work on open, privacy-preserving, accountable surveillance, we have proposed the use of cryptographic protocols that enable law-enforcement and intelligence agencies to obtain actionable information about targeted users of mass-communication syst ...

The role of the hyporheic flow on sediment transport processes : an experimental approach using particle image velocimetry.

Christophe Ancey, Gauthier Paul Daniel Marie Rousseau, Daniel Vito Papa, Angeliki Sklivaniti

The study of river dynamics usually considers a turbulent stream on an impervious bed. However, it is known that part of the total discharge takes place through the erodible bed, especially for mountain rivers. This hyporheic flow (or subsurface flow) is l ...

We extend here a “bottleneck” flow model derived earlier for incompressible fluids flowing under creeping flow conditions [Despois, J. and Mortensen, A: Acta Materialia 53 (2005) 1381] to flow regimes where inertial losses are no longer negligible, causing ...

If we study the evolution of the urban space in Switzerland we must notice the high importance assigned by different urban actors to aesthetic questions. In a sense, the subjective realm of the aesthetic has proved to be able to generate conditions that le ...

Form, function, and evolution of living organisms

Andrea Rinaldo, Amos Maritan

Despite the vast diversity of sizes and shapes of living organisms, life's organization across scales exhibits remarkable commonalities, most notably through the approximate validity of Kleiber's law, the power law scaling of metabolic rates with the mass ...

We study a regularisation of Coulomb's friction law on the propagation of local slip at an interface between a deformable and a rigid solid. This regularisation, which was proposed based on experimental observations, smooths the effect of a sudden jump in ...
