Numerical Study of the Tillage Forces on Soil Plows

The industrial drainage plow is a mechanized tool used for the installation of agricultural drainage and land reclamation. A large machine controls the depth and angle of the mole to determine the grade and depth of the tile for piping or cable to be installed. The plow is used for agricultural drainage, trenching, and installation […]

Inflammatory response of spinal implants

Spinal fusion surgery and the use of spinal implants to mechanically stabilize the spine have significantly increased over the last decade. Octane has developed a proprietary bioactive spinal implant with active remodeling capacity. The immune response to the implant is an important aspect to determine if the implant has any negative (inflammatory response) or positive […]

Peasants and Parliaments: Agrarian Reform in Later Eighteenth-Century Europe

This project aims to reexamine the relationship between representative institutions, property rights, and long-run economic growth in preindustrial Europe. We argue that (some) early parliaments contributed to growth not so much by restraining the sovereign from violating his subjects’ property rights as by facilitating the elimination of obsolete, anti-developmental property rights. Through comparative case studies […]
