Towards a plural history of microfinance
James Copestake, Susan Johnson, Mateo Garcia Cabello, Ruth Goodwin-Groen, Robin Gravesteijn, Julie Humberstone, Max Nino-Zarazua, Matthew Titus
Jul 08, 2016
The paper reviews different ways of telling the history of microfinance. We first contrast a mainstream and mostly positive narrative with a radical critique, illustrating differences with reference to India. We then argue for a...
Mayo's impact on patent applications related to biotechnology, diagnostics and personalized medicine.
On the sixth anniversary of Mayo v. Prometheus, what impact has the US Supreme Court decision had on patent subject-matter eligibility and the prosecution of biotech-related patent applications before the US Patent and Trademark...
After Myriad, what makes a gene patent claim 'markedly different' from nature?
Examining the types of claim amendments that have transformed isolated gene claims from patent-ineligible into eligible subject matter provides clarity into the threshold of eligibility for gene-related patents.
Feasibility of Tracking Human Kinematics with Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM).
We evaluated a new wearable technology that fuses inertial sensors and cameras for tracking human kinematics. These devices use on-board simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithms to localize the camera within the...
