Discrimination against rural-to-urban migrants: the role of the hukou system in China. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 China's rural-urban dual society system is instituted by its unique hukou system. This system causes inequalities in social status between permanent urban and rural residents, and discrimination against rural-to-urban migrants is thus prevalent. A series

Strategies for optimal single-shot discrimination of quantum measurements
, 2018 In this work we study the problem of single-shot discrimination of von Neumann measurements, which we associate with measure-and-prepare channels. There are two possible approaches to this problem.

Measuring Racial Discrimination in Algorithms [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2020 Algorithmic decision-making can lead to discrimination against legally protected groups, but measuring such discrimination is often hampered by a fundamental selection challenge. We develop new quasi-experimental tools to overcome this challenge and measure algorithmic discrimination in pretrial bail decisions.

Organoids in pediatric cancer research
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.

Rendere visibile l’invisibile: disabilità e sviluppo sostenibile tra indicatori e stereotipi
Culture e Studi del Sociale, 2020 The Convention for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development are the sign of a paradigm shift in addressing the exclusion and marginalization of people with disabilities. People with disability have to assume an

Measuring Racial Discrimination in Bail Decisions
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2020 We develop new quasi-experimental tools to measure disparate impact, regardless of its source, in the context of bail decisions. We show that omitted variables bias in pretrial release rate comparisons can be purged by using the quasi-random assignment of judges to estimate average pretrial misconduct risk by race.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

, 2010 Debates about the contemporary relevance of discrimination have been clouded by a lack of rigorous measurement techniques. How can we disentangle the effects of race from the many other sources of social inequality? What are the obstacles to developing reliable measures of racial discrimination? This article addresses the state-of-the-art approaches to

State Discrimination With Post-Measurement Information [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 2008 We introduce a new state discrimination problem in which we are given additional information about the state after the measurement, or more generally, after a quantum memory bound applies. In particular, the following special case plays an important role in quantum cryptographic protocols in the bounded storage model: Given a string x encoded in an ...
