Collective Wage Co‐ordination and the Costs of Job Displacement

British Journal of Industrial Relations, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates whether a higher level of co‐ordination in collective wage bargaining affects the wage costs of job displacement. We use quasi‐exogenous variation in the timing of job loss due to mass layoffs spanning an institutional reform that introduced national ceilings to wage agreements negotiated at sectoral‐ and firm‐level—the

Effect of cooling methods on the tribological, oxidation and corrosion properties of CeO2 composite boronizing coatings on 4Cr5MoSiV1 steel

Journal of Materials Research and Technology
The cooling method has a very important effect on the microstructure and properties of the boride layer. In this study, a rare earth-Cr composite boronizing method to prepare boride ceramic coatings on 4Cr5MoSiV1 alloy steel was used.

Non‐Rigid 3D Shape Correspondences: From Foundations to Open Challenges and Opportunities

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Estimating correspondences between deformed shape instances is a long‐standing problem in computer graphics; numerous applications, from texture transfer to statistical modelling, rely on recovering an accurate correspondence map. Many methods have thus been proposed to tackle this challenging problem from varying perspectives, depending on ...

Establishing Shape Correspondences: A Survey

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Shape correspondence between surfaces in 3D is a central problem in geometry processing, concerned with establishing meaningful relations between surfaces. While all correspondence problems share this goal, specific formulations can differ significantly: Downstream applications require certain properties that correspondences must satisfy ...

Characterization of dermatan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate profiles during brain regeneration in Styela plicata

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Adult ascidians are capable of regenerating their entire brains following injury, and glycosaminoglycans have been shown to either promote or inhibit neuritogenesis. In this study, dermatan 2,6‐disulfate (D2,6S) was identified as the predominant complex carbohydrate in the ascidian brain.

Dapagliflozin does not impair microvascular hemorheology in type 2 diabetes mellitus: A multicenter randomized controlled trial (D‐PATH study)

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
Graphical abstract illustrating the study design, physiological rationale, and key findings of the D‐PATH trial. Dapagliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor, lowers HbA1c and body weight while increasing hematocrit and erythropoietin levels. Although an elevated hematocrit could theoretically increase blood viscosity and impair microcirculatory flow, ex vivo ...

Histological analysis of incremental markings and crown growth characteristics in mandibular first molars of the red fox, Vulpes vulpes (Canidae, Mammalia)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This paper histologically analyzed incremental markings in dental enamel of red fox and grey wolf. Our results demonstrate that previous studies have misidentified these markings, which led to miscalculation of dental growth parameters. Abstract The present study analyzed incremental markings in the enamel of eight mandibular first molars (M1) of red ...

Simulations All the Way Up! An Atheist's Response to the Fine‐Tuning Argument

Analytic Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT So the Fine‐tuning Argument goes, because it is so unlikely for the physical constants of the laws of nature to have taken the values that they in fact take, we should significantly raise our credence that God exists. Simulation Arguments argue that our world might be (or, in stronger versions, that it probably is) a mere computer simulation ...
