Monitoring and Pay: An Experiment on Employee Performance under Endogenous Supervision [PDF]

, 2011
We present an experimental test of a shirking model where monitoring intensity is endogenous and effort a continuous variable. Wage level, monitoring intensity and consequently the desired enforceable effort level are jointly determined by the ...

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

The Timing Counter of the MEG experiment: calibration and performance

, 2011
The MEG detector is designed to test Lepton Flavor Violation in the $\mu^+\rightarrow e^+\gamma$ decay down to a Branching Ratio of a few $10^{-13}$. The decay topology consists in the coincident emission of a monochromatic photon in direction opposite ...

An upstream open reading frame regulates expression of the mitochondrial protein Slm35 and mitophagy flux

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals how the mitochondrial protein Slm35 is regulated in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The authors identify stress‐responsive DNA elements and two upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in the 5′ untranslated region of SLM35. One uORF restricts translation, and its mutation increases Slm35 protein levels and mitophagy.

Enhancing workability of high-volume calcined clay blend cement pastes through optimized addition sequences of PCE superplasticizer

Case Studies in Construction Materials
The cementitious paste containing a high volume of calcined clay exhibits poor fluidity due to the thixotropic nature of the clay suspension. The study focuses on the impact of the stepwise addition of PCE and protein-based alkaline retarder (PAR) on the

Performing probe experiments in the SEM [PDF]

Micron, 2004
A four nanoprobe system has been installed inside a FEI XL30 F scanning electron microscope (SEM), and shown to be fully compatible with the normal functions of the SEM and also a Gatan cold stage (model C1003, -185-400 degrees C). With some selected examples of applications, we have shown that this nanoprobe system may be used effectively for gripping,
