(WP 2005-03) Openness, Centralized Wage Bargaining, and Inflation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
This paper develops a model of an open economy containing both sectors in which wages are market-determined and sectors with wage-setting arrangements.

Behavioral conservatism is linked to complexity of behavior in chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes):implications for cognition and cumulative culture [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Cumulative culture is rare, if not altogether absent in nonhuman species. At the foundation of cumulative learning is the ability to modify, relinquish, or build upon previous behaviors flexibly to make them more productive or efficient.

A Mechanistic Blueprint for Fast, High‐Yield Green Scintillators Using Conjugated Polymer–Nanocrystal Composites

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Conjugated polymer–nanocrystal composites are investigated to develop fast, high‐yield green scintillators. The polymer F8BT enables efficient, ultrafast emission, while blends with non‐emitting HfO2 nanocrystals and luminescent CdZnS/ZnS quantum dots reveal distinct sensitization mechanisms.

Fluorescent Nanosensor for Indole‐3‐Propionic Acid Detection in Gut Health Monitoring

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This work introduces a fluorescent nanosensor system with two optical modalities for detection of indole‐3‐propionic acid (IPA) gut metabolite: (1) blue‐emitting cationic conjugated polyelectrolyte (CP3) and (2) near‐infrared (NIR)‐emitting CP3‐wrapped single‐walled carbon nanotube (SWNT).

Using Coefficients of Conservatism and the Floristic Quality Index to Assess the Potential for Serious and Irreversible Damage to Plant Communities

open access: yesThe Canadian Field-Naturalist, 2013
Coefficients of Conservatism and the Floristic Quality Index can be used to assess potential damage to plants and plant communities as a result of anthropogenic disturbances. This has benefit because it may be more powerful than an opinion and more easily understood and trusted by non-botanists and land use decision-makers.

Wound Geometry Determines Whether Aligned‐Fiber Scaffolds Accelerate or Impede Diabetic Wound Healing: A Biased Random Walk Analysis

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Wound closure is governed by geometry‐orientation coupling: aligned fibers speed migration along their axis but hinder perpendicular advance. In vivo diabetic wound experiments with composition‐matched fibrin, combined with an anisotropic diffusion (biased random‐walk) model, quantify this trade‐off and generate a healing landscape.

Effect of uncertainties in prediction models of shallow and deep foundations

open access: yesEngineering and Applied Science Research, 2023
The primary objective in foundation design is to ensure that the foundation exhibits satisfactory behavior under regulatory loading conditions while addressing critical safety concerns. This study aims to investigate the impact of parameter uncertainties

Dramatic long-term restoration of an oak woodland due to multiple, sustained management treatments.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
We measured 34 years of plant community change in a degraded oak woodland undergoing ecological management. Management included regular prescribed fire, control of white-tailed deer populations, repeated sowing of a diverse seed mix, and removal of ...

Light‐Induced Entropy for Secure Vision

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This work realized a ternary true random number generator by exploiting stochastic traps emerging within multiple junction interfaces, and quantitatively validated the generation of high‐quality random numbers. Furthermore, it successfully demonstrated diverse applications, including AI‐resilient image security, thereby providing a valuable guide for ...

El autoritarismo de derecha, la orientación a la dominancia social, la empatía, y la orientación hacia los valores materiales como predictores del prejuicio intergrupal en Argentina [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The study of individual differences in prejudice has received significant attention in the psychological literature. However, very little research has been published on Latin American countries.
