Contracting planar graphs to contractions of triangulations

open access: yesJournal of Discrete Algorithms, 2011
For every graph $H$, there exists a polynomial-time algorithm deciding if a planar input graph $G$ can be contracted to~$H$. However, the degree of the polynomial depends on the size of $H$. In this paper, we identify a class of graphs $\cal C$ such that for every $H \in \cal C$, there exists an algorithm deciding in time $f(|V(H)|) \cdot |V(G)|^{\bigO{

Contract theory and EU contract law [PDF]

open access: yesSSRN Electronic Journal, 2015
This paper explores the relationship between contract theory and European contract law. In particular, it confronts the leading contract law theories with the main characteristics of EU contract law. The conclusion is that the two do not match well. In particular, monist normative contract theories are largely irreconcilable with the contract law of ...

Vaccine literacy is undervalued

open access: yesHuman Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2019
Despite weak health literacy is considered a concause of vaccine hesitancy, it is rarely taken into account when discussing about this subject. The association between health literacy skills and vaccine acceptance has been shown to be uneven when using ...

Ambiguous Contracts

open access: yesProceedings of the 24th ACM Conference on Economics and Computation, 2023
We explore the deliberate infusion of ambiguity into the design of contracts. We show that when the agent is ambiguity‐averse and hence chooses an action that maximizes their minimum utility, the principal can strictly gain from using an ambiguous contract, and this gain can be arbitrarily high.

Forecasting the Dialysis Burden in Japan: Validation‐Based Projections of Prevalence and Incidence Through 2050

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Japan has one of the highest dialysis prevalence rates worldwide and a shrinking, aging population. Whether dialysis burden has entered a sustained post‐peak phase or whether recent declines partly reflect pandemic‐related disruptions remains uncertain.

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

Psychological contract expectations of construction project managers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The past 20 years have seen a period of fundamental change for many construction businesses as they have restructured, downsized, de-layered, merged and de-merged to survive turbulent markets and rapidly changing demand cycles.

Assessment of the Effective Tissue Concentrations of Injectable Lidocaine and a Lidocaine-Impregnated Latex Band for Castration in Calves

open access: yesAnimals
This study aimed to assess the effective tissue concentrations of the current standard of care for pain mitigation in calves during castration (injectable lidocaine) and to assess the ability of a lidocaine-loaded elastration band (LLB) to deliver ...

The Vedic Agni and Scandinavian Fire Rituals: A Possible Connection

open access: yesCurrent Swedish Archaeology, 2005
To use ethnographic analogies is not the same as picking up ready-made interpretations from one cultural context and importing them into another. On the contrary, analogies are a powerful and necessary tool for any archaeological interpretation.
