Fixed Pay for Output or Time? Implications for Work Speed and Quality

open access: yesJournal of Accounting Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper explores the influence of two fixed payment arrangements—time‐based and output‐based wages—on worker behavior and performance in a multidimensional task setting. We examine how these wages affect the time workers spend on individual units of a task and their work quality.

A Review of the Australian MRI Linac Program: From Pie in the Sky to Research Milestone

open access: yesJournal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Australian Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Linear Accelerator program (MRI linac) was a major research project that aimed to build and test a unique MRI linac prototype for cancer treatment. It aimed to improve radiotherapy anatomical targeting and explore physiological targeting. The purpose of this report is to summarise the development

Bringing artifacts (back) to life

open access: yesAmerican Ethnologist, EarlyView.
Abstract Museums’ ethnographic collections can be conceptualized as affective forces—relational intensities that emerge between human and more‐than‐human actors, unfold over time, and are embedded in and co‐shape sociomaterial environments. Drawing on debates in the anthropology of objects and political ontology, I develop this perspective through long‐

Competitive Interactions Between Generalist Predators and Their Effects on Shared and Non‐Shared Pests in a Greenhouse Crop

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Orius laevigatus engages in unidirectional intraguild predation on Transeius montdorensis. Despite this, both predators coexisted and suppressed the shared thrips prey. Aphids, a non‐shared prey, were effectively controlled by O. laevigatus even when its population was limited due to intraguild predation. T.
