(MIS)Allocation Effects of an Overpaid Public Sector
Abstract
There is a large body of evidence showing that for many countries the structure of wages and pensions and the labor law legislation are different for public and private...
Coherence for bicategorical cartesian closed structure
Abstract We prove a strictification theorem for cartesian closed bicategories. First, we adapt Power’s proof of coherence for bicategories with finite bilimits to show that every bicategory with...
Analytic functors between presheaf categories over groupoids
Marcelo Fiore
Mar 11, 2019
The paper studies analytic functors between presheaf categories. Generalising
results of A. Joyal and of R. Hasegawa for analytic endofunctors on the
category of sets, we give two characterisations of analytic functors...
Classical logic with Mendler induction
We investigate (co-) induction in classical logic under the propositions-as-types paradigm, considering propositional, second-order and (co-) inductive types. Specifically, we introduce an extension of the Dual Calculus with a...
Organic phase separation opens up new opportunities to interrogate the RNA-binding proteome.
Tom Smith, Eneko Villanueva, Rayner ML Queiroz, Charlotte S Dawson, Mohamed Elzek, Erika C Urdaneta, Anne E Willis, Benedikt M Beckmann, Jeroen Krijgsveld, Kathryn S Lilley
Mar 12, 2020
Protein-RNA interactions regulate all aspects of RNA metabolism and are crucial to the function of catalytic ribonucleoproteins. Until recently, the available technologies to capture RNA-bound proteins have been biased...

Rotational waves generated by current-topography interaction
We study nonlinear free-surface rotational waves generated through the interaction of a vertically sheared current with a topography. Equivalently, the waves may be generated by a pressure distribution along the free surface....
A Class of its Own? The Role of Sustainable Real Estate in a Conditional Value at Risk Multi-Asset Portfolio
In this paper, we analyze the effect of socially responsible investments within a multi-asset portfolio optimization model. We also attempt to bridge the gap in the real estate literature between sustainability principles and...
Prioritized memory access explains planning and hippocampal replay.
To make decisions, animals must evaluate candidate choices by accessing memories of relevant experiences. Yet little is known about which experiences are considered or ignored during deliberation, which ultimately governs...

Areal differences in depth cue integration between monkey and human.
Electrophysiological evidence suggested primarily the involvement of the middle temporal (MT) area in depth cue integration in macaques, as opposed to human imaging data pinpointing area V3B/kinetic occipital area (V3B/KO). To...
