Microlensing-Based Studies of the Unresolved Structure of AGNs and the Composition of Lensing Galaxies

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2011
Multiple images of quasars formed by gravitational lensing are typically seen through the lensing galaxy. The granulation of the galaxy in stars or other compact objects induces local (‘microscopic’) but strong fluctuations in the gravitational potential

Lacustrine and fan‐delta sediments in syn‐rift lake basins

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, EarlyView.
A consistent model for the sequence framework and depositional pattern of asymmetric half‐grabens in syn‐rift lake basins bounded by active faults has been established, complementing existing models for marine rift successions. Syn‐rift lake basins are characterised by relatively small dimensions, steep slopes, poorly developed shoreline strata ...

Cosmological Model-independent Constraints on Spatial Curvature from Strong Gravitational Lensing and SN Ia Observations

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2019
Applying the distance sum rule in strong gravitational lensing (SGL) and SN Ia observations, one can provide an interesting cosmological model-independent method to determine the cosmic curvature parameter Ωk.

Containerless emulsification of acoustically levitated composite drop

open access: yesDroplet, EarlyView.
Emulsions are inherently thermodynamically unstable dispersions that are widely involved in food processing, cosmetic preparation, and drug delivery. The existing ultrasonic emulsification techniques mainly rely on the direct contact between the sonicator probe and liquids, which caused localized high temperature and pressure within the liquid and ...

From Policy to Practice: Unraveling Individual Uptake of Compressed Work Schedules

open access: yesHuman Resource Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Compressed work schedules, like full‐time 4‐day weeks, are widely advocated as promising work–life flexibility policies and attractive alternatives to female part‐time work. Yet, individual characteristics and implementation factors associated with policy use are understudied.

When Super (Wo)man Fails to Appear: Beyond Idealized Prototypes in Crisis Leadership

open access: yesJournal of Organizational Behavior, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Crisis leadership has been a topic of interest for nearly a century. Recent works present an idealized, gendered template for such leadership by casting men as masculine protectors or superheroes and women as feminine nurturers or selfless, relational superwomen.

A Methodological Framework to Study Change in Team Cognition Under the Dynamical Hypothesis

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract The dynamical hypothesis claims that cognitive systems, such as teams, are dynamical systems (i.e., an interdependent collection of individuals and their technology that change together over time). Following this hypothesis, team researchers have adopted dynamical approaches to better understand the team cognitive processes and states that ...

Family Firms' Boards: Reflections Based on Theoretical Groundings

open access: yesStrategic Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Boards of Directors is one of the most recurring topics in corporate governance literature. In the family firm realm, Boards of Directors have distinctive features compared to non‐family firms; their functions and activities can differ significantly.

Precision MARS Mass Reconstruction of A2744: Synergizing the Largest Strong-lensing and Densest Weak-lensing Data Sets from JWST

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present a new high-resolution free-form mass model of A2744 that combines both weak-lensing (WL) and strong-lensing (SL) data sets from JWST. The SL data set comprises 286 multiple images, presenting the most extensive SL constraint to date for a ...
