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...

Applications such as disaster management enormously benefit from rapid availability of satellite observations. Traditionally, data analysis is performed on the ground after being transferred-downlinked-to a ground station....
Exploring the perceptual inabilities of Eurasian jays (Garrulus glandarius) using magic effects.
In recent years, scientists have begun to use magic effects to investigate the blind spots in our attention and perception [G. Kuhn, Experiencing the Impossible: The Science of Magic (2019); S. Macknik, S. Martinez-Conde, S....
Mapping the Patent Landscape of Quantum Technologies
Abstract Recent technical breakthroughs underscore the potential of second generation (2G) quantum technologies including quantum simulation, quantum sensing and metrology, quantum computation...
COVID-19 Contact Tracing Apps
Digital surveillance has played a key role in containing the COVID-19 outbreak in China, Singapore, Israel and South Korea. Google and Apple recently announced the intention to build interfaces to allow Bluetooth contact...
International transfers of health data between the EU and USA
International health research increasingly depends on collaboration and combination using medical data to advance treatment and drug discovery. The European Union (EU), through its General Data Protection Regulation, has...

In situ microwave-enhanced electrochemical reactions at stainless steel
Iron nanoparticle deposition and stripping are observed from aqueous Fe2+ solution at pH 3 on stainless electrodes in the presence of focused microwave activation. The effects of Fe2+ concentration and...
Regulatory responses to medical machine learning.
Companies and healthcare providers are developing and implementing new applications of medical artificial intelligence, including the artificial intelligence sub-type of medical machine learning (MML). MML is based on the...

Effects of lead from ammunition on birds and other wildlife
Poisoning of wild birds following ingestion of lead from ammunition has long been recognised and considerable recent research has focused on terrestrial birds, including raptors and scavengers. This paper builds upon previous...

The FDA De Novo medical device pathway, patents and anticompetition.
The Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) has long been criticized—perhaps, unfairly—for failing to expeditiously approve groundbreaking medical devices. In the views of some, thishas contributed to stagnation in the advancement...

A participatory approach to the evaluation of participatory museum research projects
In this paper we will describe, justify and critique a participatory approach that we have developed in order to evaluate the success of a participatory research project that was exploring ways of making museum learning...
Emergent analysis and dissemination within participatory research
Authentic participation involving jointly undertaken analysis of data and dissemination of findings is rarely evident in participatory research involving disabled people. This paper examines analysis and dissemination which...
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...
Extracellular Electrophysiology in the Prostate Cancer Cell Model PC-3
Miguel Cabello, Haobo Ge, Carmen Aracil, Despina Moschou, Pedro Estrela, Jose Manuel Quero, Sofia Pascu, Paulo Rocha
Jan 01, 2019
Although prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in the male population, its basic biological function at a cellular level remains to be fully understood. This lack of in depth understanding of its physiology...
