Promise‐Keeping Reputations in an Investment Game: An Experimental Investigation

International Studies of Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We design a controlled laboratory experiment to mitigate moral hazard problems in livestream shopping when sellers make promises to buyers. In our experiment, the promise‐keeping reputation mechanism allows sellers to send promises to buyers while buyers can observe the sellers' historical promise‐keeping records. Results demonstrate that bare

Half a Century of Per‐ and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances in Northern Gannet Eggs: Impact of Regulations

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), known as “forever chemicals”, are persistent organic pollutants that have been widely used in the industry across the globe for many decades. Their chemical stability, bioaccumulation, and toxicity pose major environmental and health risks. This study examines temporal trends in the concentrations of

Transcriptomic Analysis of Two Thioalkalivibrio Species Under Arsenite Stress Revealed a Potential Candidate Gene for an Alternative Arsenite Oxidation Pathway

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
The genus Thioalkalivibrio includes haloalkaliphilic chemolithoautotrophic sulfur-oxidizing bacteria isolated from various soda lakes worldwide. Some of these lakes possess in addition to their extreme haloalkaline environment also other harsh conditions,

Multi‐Frequency Electrocochleography Results in Fewer Drop Alarms During Cochlear Implant Insertion

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
A novel multi‐frequency electrocochleography (ECochG) algorithm used during cochlear implant electrode insertion is associated with fewer drop alarms and an increase in optimal insertion track patterns. Multi‐frequency ECochG may provide a more accurate assessment of the cochlear microenvironment when compared to single‐frequency ECochG.
