All this talk of AV made me think of Neville Shute's book In The Wet.
They have a form of PR where everyone has a vote, but you can earn extra votes by improving the country. The list he has is a little old-fashioned these days:
1) Basic - everyone gets this at 21
2) Education - finishing a course of higher education
3) Foreign experience - earning a living outside the country for two yers or more
4) Family vote - raising two or more children to the age of 14 without divorcing
5) Earning achievment - If you earn over a certain amount a year
6) Religous officials
7) The Queen's vote - only awarded in recognition of something pretty spectacular
That would mix things up a bit. It'd certianly need updating.

Yay!
based on the abstract, are we talking about sedimentation through a viscous medium/ centrifugation/ field flow fractionation sort of things?

Rejected by two out of three referees and accepted without change by the journal as well as made into a Frontier Article, of which they only published two last year.
Woo!

Does voting on these actually make a difference?
I mean, is there a secret hidden page where you can see which ones are popular?
