Pathways and pitfalls: a qualitative study of student experiences in biomedical science education
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Biomedical science students from underrepresented backgrounds face barriers including financial strain, disrupted laboratory access and cultural exclusion. Peer networks provide vital support when institutional systems are difficult to navigate. To create inclusive learning environments and achieve academic success, educators should blend active, hands‐

Wage Inequality and Establishment Heterogeneity [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2018 We analyze wage dispersion within and across establishments in Korea between 2007 and 2013. We find that foreign owned establishments and those operating in global markets have higher within establishment wage dispersion. The effect is over and above the establishment size effect.

International Journal of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing, EarlyView.This article proposes a convergent adaptive observer for a damped wave PDE and an infinite‐dimensional ODE coupled in cascade using sampled‐in‐space ODE state measurements. The proposed observer estimates the distributed states of the PDE and ODE along with unknown PDE parameters and spatial input.

Wage inequality and the location of cities [PDF]
Journal of Urban Economics, 2019 In cross-sectional American census data, we document that isolated cities tend to have less wage inequality. To explain this correlation and other correlations between population and wages, we build an equilibrium empirical model that incorporates high and low-skill labor, costly trade, and both agglomeration and congestion forces.

Rising Concentration and Wage Inequality [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2020 AbstractWage inequality has risen in many countries over recent decades. At the same time, production has become increasingly concentrated in a small number of firms. In this paper, we show that these two phenomena are linked. Theoretically, we show that an increase in consumer price sensitivity will lead to an increase in the sectoral concentration of

Low‐Power Control Of Resistance Switching Transitions in First‐Order Memristors
Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.Joule losses are a serious concern in modern integrated circuit design. In this regard, minimizing the energy necessary for programming memristors should be handled with care. This manuscript presents an optimal control framework, allowing to derive energy‐efficient programming voltage protocols for resistance switching devices. Following this approach,

The dynamics of wage dispersion between firms: the role of firm entry and exit
Journal for Labour Market Research, 2023 Although wage inequality is an important and widely studied issue, the literature is vastly silent on the relationship between firm entry and exit and the wage dispersion between firms.

Sustainable Productivity Growth in Agriculture: The Role of Shifts in R&D Investments and Technology
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The objective of the paper is to evaluate the long‐term prospects of sustainable productivity growth linked to plausible assumptions on public agricultural R&D investments as the key productivity driver. Second, it investigates the role of changing R&D focus from yield maximization to input saving technologies (fertilizers and pesticides). The

Drivers behind the diverging gender patterns of wage inequality
Journal for Labour Market ResearchThis paper examines wage inequality in Spain across the economic cycle of 2006–2018. Employing the Firpo, Fortin, and Lemieux decomposition method, we analyze how differences in worker, firm, and job characteristics impact wage inequality evolution ...

Wage Inequality and Skill Asymmetries [PDF]
, 2019 Using a simple model with two levels of skill, we assume that high-skill workers who fail to get high-skill jobs may accept low-skill positions; low-skill workers do not have the analogous option of filling high-skill positions. This asymmetry implies that an adverse, skill-neutral shock to aggregate employment may cause an increase in wage inequality,
