Black and white differences in subjective survival expectations: An evaluation of competing mechanisms [PDF]
SSM: Population Health, 2023 While black-white inequality in longevity is well documented in the United States, little is known about how individuals from different race/ethnic groups form their own personal survival expectations.

Competing Mechanisms of Stress-Assisted Diffusivity and Stretch-Activated Currents in Cardiac Electromechanics [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2018 We numerically investigate the role of mechanical stress in modifying the conductivity properties of cardiac tissue, and also assess the impact of these effects in the solutions generated by computational models for cardiac electromechanics.

Successful retrieval of competing spatial environments in humans involves hippocampal pattern separation mechanisms [PDF]
eLife, 2015 The rodent hippocampus represents different spatial environments distinctly via changes in the pattern of “place cell” firing. It remains unclear, though, how spatial remapping in rodents relates more generally to human memory.

A phylogenomic study quantifies competing mechanisms for pseudogenization in prokaryotes-The Mycobacterium leprae case. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 BACKGROUND:Pseudogenes are non-functional sequences in the genome with homologous sequences that are functional (i.e. genes). They are abundant in eukaryotes where they have been extensively investigated, while in prokaryotes they are significantly ...

Competing Mechanisms with Limited Commitment [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2016 This paper studies competing mechanisms with limited commitment over infinite horizon. Between a mechanism and the agent, there is perfect monitoring, but each mechanism can have arbitrary signals about the interaction between other mechanisms and the ...

Sorting versus screening: Search frictions and competing mechanisms [PDF]
Journal of Economic Theory, 2009 In a market where sellers compete by posting trading mechanisms, we allow for a general search technology and show that its features crucially affect the equilibrium mechanism.

The Competing Mechanisms of Phosphate Monoester Dianion Hydrolysis. [PDF]
J Am Chem Soc, 2016 Despite the numerous experimental and theoretical studies on phosphate monoester hydrolysis, significant questions remain concerning the mechanistic details of these biologically critical reactions. In the present work we construct a linear free energy relationship for phosphate monoester hydrolysis to explore the effect of modulating leaving group pKa

Competing misfit relaxation mechanisms in epitaxial correlated oxides [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2013 Strain engineering of functional properties in epitaxial thin films of strongly correlated oxides exhibiting octahedral-framework structures is hindered by the lack of adequate misfit relaxation models. Here we present unreported experimental evidence of

Competing mechanisms of radial and local diffusion in radiation belt electron dynamics during quiet-geomagnetic conditions [PDF]
Scientific ReportsWhile previous investigations utilizing high-resolution satellite observations (e.g., Van Allen Probes) have elucidated the competition between radial diffusion and local wave-driven acceleration mechanisms during geomagnetic storms, the relative ...

Competing trade mechanisms and monotone mechanism choice [PDF]
, 2014 We analyze mechanism choices of competing sellers with private valuations and show the existence of monotone pure strategy equilibria where sellers with higher reservation value choose mechanisms with a lower selling probability and a larger revenue in ...
