Estimating the shirking model with variable effort [PDF]

Labour Economics, 2003
We show in a theoretical efficiency wage model where firms differ in monitoring intensity or in the effort intensity of their technologies that the impact of monitoring intensity on wages is ambiguous, a result that mirrors evidence from the empirical literature.

Local Solvent Ordering Drives Supramolecular Chirality Inversion

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Local solvent organization is shown to govern supramolecular chirality by selecting distinct chiral assembly pathways. A subtle change in water‐DMSO composition reverses the helical sense of a chiral perylene bisimide, while heating induces an irreversible thermal inversion to a more stable enantiomorph.

A Critical Assessment of Bonding Descriptors for Predicting Materials Properties

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
The impact of new bonding descriptors in machine learning models for predicting material properties is assessed. Improvements are validated using significance tests, and new, intuitive descriptors for screening lattice thermal conductivity and projected force constants are introduced.

Pre‐Curved Everting Robots With Embedded Steering Intelligence Fabricated by CO2 Laser Welding

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Design and experimental demonstration of a laser welded growing robot for anatomically guided navigation. The robot follows an aortic arch phantom entering the branchiocephalic branch through steering by design. The figure shows the physical phantom setup, CAD defined weld geometry and full robot eversion.

Accounting for animal health in efficiency analysis: An application to Swedish dairy farms

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Poor animal health is a central concern in modern livestock production. Despite the necessity to incorporate animal health in efficiency analysis, the theoretical and empirical developments are limited on this subject. This article appropriately characterizes the axiomatic properties of animal health within a production framework.
