Proceedings 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.

LifeClass II myosin (myosin-2) is an actin-based motor protein found in nearly all eukaryotes. One critical question is how the motor function of myosin-2 is regulated. Vertebrate myosin-2 comprises non-muscle myosin, smooth muscle myosin and striated muscle

Physiological Reports, 2020 Aim Muscle contraction stimulates skeletal muscle glucose transport. Since it occurs independently of insulin, it is an important alternative pathway to increase glucose transport in insulin‐resistant states, but the intracellular signaling mechanisms ...

eLife, 2020 The giant muscle protein titin is a major contributor to passive force; however, its role in active force generation is unresolved. Here, we use a novel titin-cleavage (TC) mouse model that allows specific and rapid cutting of elastic titin to quantify ...

Key Parameters of a Design for a Novel Reflux Subsonic Low-Density Dust Wind Tunnel
Aerospace, 2022 The dust storm on the surface of Mars is a severe threat to Mars exploration missions. Taking adequate measures to avoid the impact of the harsh wind-blown dust environment is indispensable.

Focusing on Contraction. [PDF]
, 2013 Focusing [1] is a proof-theoretic device to structure proof search in the sequent calculus: it provides a normal form to cut-free proofs in which the application of invertible and non-invertible inference rules is structured in two separate and disjoint phases.

Levi Contractions and AGM Contractions: A Comparison
Notre Dame Journal of Formal Logic, 1995 Among the AGM postulates for contraction, the one that has been most open to query is that of recovery. In his book: The fixation of belief and its undoing (Cambridge UK, 1991), \textit{Isaac Levi} proposed modifying the AGM partial meet construction for contraction in such a way as to invalidate recovery.

Contracting planar graphs to contractions of triangulations
Journal 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{
