Bibliography of proportional representation in Tasmania [PDF]

open access: yes, 1913
Proportional representation was introduced in Tasmania by the Electoral Act of 1896, in which a form of the Hare system was used for two of the electorates of the House of Assembly.

Structured Proportional Representation

open access: yesAdaptive Agents and Multi-Agent Systems, 2017
Multi-winner voting rules aiming at proportional representation, such as those suggested by Chamberlin and Courant and by Monroe, partition an electorate into virtual districts, such that a representative is assigned to each district; these districts are

Sequence determinants of RNA G‐quadruplex unfolding by Arg‐rich regions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We show that Arg‐rich peptides selectively unfold RNA G‐quadruplexes, but not RNA stem‐loops or DNA/RNA duplexes. This length‐dependent activity is inhibited by acidic residues and is conserved among SR and SR‐related proteins (SRSF1, SRSF3, SRSF9, U1‐70K, and U2AF1).

Gluino zero-modes for non-trivial holonomy calorons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We couple fermion fields in the adjoint representation (gluinos) to the SU(2) gauge field of unit charge calorons defined on R^3 x S_1. We compute corresponding zero-modes of the Dirac equation.

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Electoral Reform in Romania. An Analytical History (2)

open access: yesSfera Politicii, 2012
The paper seeks to retrace the electoral journey of modern Romania, highlighting the general synchronization procces of democratization of the vote, as well as the changes that occured in the practice of parliamentary election patterns.

Personalism or party platform? Gender quotas and women's representation under different electoral system orientations.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
Underrepresentation of women in politics is a matter of great concern to social scientists, citizens, and policymakers alike. Despite effort over the past decade to ameliorate it with gender quotas of different types, scientific research provides a mixed

Black Hole Entropy from Loop Quantum Gravity [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
We argue that the statistical entropy relevant for the thermal interactions of a black hole with its surroundings is (the logarithm of) the number of quantum microstates of the hole which are distinguishable from the hole's exterior, and which correspond

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

Fully Proportional Representation as Resource Allocation: Approximability Results [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We model Monroe's and Chamberlin and Courant's multiwinner voting systems as a certain resource allocation problem. We show that for many restricted variants of this problem, under standard complexity-theoretic assumptions, there are no constant-factor ...
