Network Structure and the Efficiency Gains from Mergers: Evidence from U.S. Freight Railroads

The RAND Journal of Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The trade‐off between market power and efficiency gains is central to antitrust analyses of mergers, but empirical evidence quantifying efficiencies remains limited. Using transaction‐level data from U.S. freight railroads (1985–2005), this article quantifies merger‐induced cost efficiencies, driven mainly by eliminating inter‐railroad ...

Defiant pride: Origins and consequences of ethnic voting

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Why do voters often remain loyal to ethnic parties despite receiving little in terms of material welfare? I develop a theory focused on the role of dignity concerns in explaining within‐group variation in ethnic party loyalty. Group members who face discrimination from state agencies dominated by outgroups respond with defiant pride, which ...

Pharmacological treatment with a GABA(A) receptor modulator and a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor as a mitigation strategy against aircraft noise‐induced cardiovascular and neuronal damage

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Noise pollution, particularly by aircraft, is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Aircraft noise activates stress response pathways in the brain, via the amygdala, the sympathetic nervous system and the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis.

A Survey of Methods for Constructing 3D Urban Models From Point Clouds

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
The survey outlines a general process for constructing 3D models from point clouds and categorizes the methods based on their use of templates, basic surface primitives, hybrid approaches, or linear primitives. Additionally, the survey reviews the datasets and benchmarks that are essential for testing and training the developed methods.

A more‐than‐human political ecology of Indonesian songbird trade

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Since its inception, conservation science has considered wildlife trade a problem. In focusing on conservation outcomes, conservationists almost completely ignore the welfare of traded animals and plants and the harms they endure. We developed a political ecology approach that incorporates the interconnectedness of people with animals and ...

Alternative Polyadenylation Drives Runaway Pro‐Inflammatory Macrophages in Periodontitis by Enabling Escape From miRNA Repression

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
APA‐Guided Therapeutic miRNA Selection for Periodontitis. ABSTRACT Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease driven by a dysregulated host immune response, in which macrophage‐mediated inflammation shifts from protective to pathological. While monocyte‐derived macrophages (MDMs) are known to adopt a destructive, M1‐like pro‐inflammatory phenotype,
