No Moral Wiggle Room in an Experimental Corruption Game
Frontiers in Psychology, 2021 Recent experimental evidence reveals that information is often avoided by decision makers in order to create and exploit a so-called “moral wiggle room,” which reduces the psychological and moral costs associated with selfish behavior.

What's Behind Image? Toward a Better Understanding of Image-Driven Behavior
Frontiers in Psychology, 2021 Our experimental design systematically varies image concerns in a dictator/trust game. In comparison to the baseline, we either decrease the role of self-image concerns (by providing an excuse for selfish behavior) or increase the role of social-image ...

Experimental Evidence on Transfer Pricing
International Journal of Management and Economics, 2016 We use incentivized economics experiments to test both the point predictions and comparative static predictions of optimal transfer pricing models, comparing behavior under varying conditions, including wholly versus partially-owned subsidiaries and ...

The location of diapycnal mixing and the meridional overturning circulation [PDF]
, 2002 The large-scale consequences of diapycnal mixing location are explored using an idealized threedimensional model of buoyancy-forced flow in a single hemisphere. Diapycnal mixing is most effective in supporting a strong meridional overturning circulation (

Bacteriophages with the Ability to Degrade Uropathogenic Escherichia Coli Biofilms
Viruses, 2012 Escherichia coli-associated urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common bacterial infections in humans. UTIs are usually managed with antibiotic therapy, but over the years, antibiotic-resistant strains of uropathogenic E.

Herding and Contrarian Behavior in Financial Markets: An Experimental Analysis [PDF]
, 2009 We are the first paper to analyse and confirm the existence and extent of rational informational herding and rational informational contrarianism in a financial market experiment, and to compare and contrast these with the equivalent irrational phenomena.

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.What's New? The 1986 Chernobyl accident led to widespread radioactive contamination across parts of Europe, with elevated childhood leukaemia rates observed in heavily affected areas of Ukraine. Data on long‐term haematological and other non‐thyroid cancer risk in the general population in heavily contaminated regions, however, remain limited.

Cancer Science, EarlyView.Proteomic mapping of Tax complexes in HTLV‐1–infected T‐cells identified IRF4 as a Tax interactor. Chromatin profiling showed Tax reprograms IRF4 occupancy with H3K27ac gains at super‐enhancers; Tax–IRF4 co‐expression altered chromatin accessibility and transcription, and ATL‐associated IRF4 mutants partially phenocopied these changes. ABSTRACT Human T‐

Gem-induced cytoskeleton remodeling increases cellular migration of HTLV-1-infected cells, formation of infected-to-target T-cell conjugates and viral transmission [PDF]
, 2013 Efficient HTLV-1 viral transmission occurs through cell-to-cell contacts. The Tax viral transcriptional activator protein facilitates this process. Using a comparative transcriptomic analysis, we recently identified a series of genes up-regulated in HTLV-
