TL;DR: The law of contracts is central to the economics of property rights and public choice theory as mentioned in this paper, and it is recognized that laws and institutions are important in promoting the efficiency of an economy.
Abstract: Central to the economics of property rights-public choice theory1 is the recognition that laws and institutions are important in promoting the efficiency of an economy. One of these institutions is the law of contracts.

TL;DR: In this article, the capabilities of the open-knowledge software instrument Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA) have been updated to improve numerical energy conservation capabilities, including during mass changes.
Abstract: We update the capabilities of the open-knowledge software instrument Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA). RSP is a new functionality in MESAstar that models the non-linear radial stellar pulsations that characterize RR Lyrae, Cepheids, and other classes of variable stars. We significantly enhance numerical energy conservation capabilities, including during mass changes. For example, this enables calculations through the He flash that conserve energy to better than 0.001 %. To improve the modeling of rotating stars in MESA, we introduce a new approach to modifying the pressure and temperature equations of stellar structure, and a formulation of the projection effects of gravity darkening. A new scheme for tracking convective boundaries yields reliable values of the convective-core mass, and allows the natural emergence of adiabatic semiconvection regions during both core hydrogen- and helium-burning phases. We quantify the parallel performance of MESA on current generation multicore architectures and demonstrate improvements in the computational efficiency of radiative levitation. We report updates to the equation of state and nuclear reaction physics modules. We briefly discuss the current treatment of fallback in core-collapse supernova models and the thermodynamic evolution of supernova explosions. We close by discussing the new MESA Testhub software infrastructure to enhance source-code development.

TL;DR: Holobionts and hologenomes are incontrovertible, multipartite entities that result from ecological, evolutionary, and genetic processes at various levels that constitute a wider vocabulary and framework for host biology in light of the microbiome.
Abstract: Given the complexity of host-microbiota symbioses, scientists and phi- losophers are asking questions at new biological levels of hierarchical organization— what is a holobiont and hologenome? When should this vocabulary be applied? Are these concepts a null hypothesis for host-microbe systems or limited to a certain spectrum of symbiotic interactions such as host-microbial coevolution? Critical dis- course is necessary in this nascent area, but productive discourse requires that skep- tics and proponents use the same lexicon. For instance, critiquing the hologenome concept is not synonymous with critiquing coevolution, and arguing that an entity is not a primary unit of selection dismisses the fact that the hologenome concept has always embraced multilevel selection. Holobionts and hologenomes are incontro- vertible, multipartite entities that result from ecological, evolutionary, and genetic processes at various levels. They are not restricted to one special process but consti- tute a wider vocabulary and framework for host biology in light of the microbiome.
