(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...
The Effect of Individual Analytical Orientation and Capabilities on Decision Quality and Regret
Decision makers are exposed to an increasing amount of information. Algorithms can help people make better data-driven decisions. Previous research has focused on both companies’ orientation towards analytics use and the...

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...
Capacitive aptasensor based on interdigitated electrode for breast cancer detection in undiluted human serum
Sunil Arya, Pavel Zhurauski, Pawan Jolly, Marina Batistuti, Marcelo Mulato, Pedro Estrela
Apr 15, 2018
We report the development of a simple and powerful capacitive aptasensor for the detection and estimation of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), a biomarker for breast cancer, in undiluted serum. The study involves...
Adaptation decorrelates shape representations.
Perception and neural responses are modulated by sensory history. Visual adaptation, an example of such an effect, has been hypothesized to improve stimulus discrimination by decorrelating responses across a set of neural units....
The relationship between executive functions and fluid intelligence in euthymic Bipolar Disorder patients.

Apr 11, 2018
Distinct cognitive deficits have been described in Bipolar disorder (BD), including executive impairments, commonly attributed to frontal dysfunction. However, recent attention has been paid to the heterogeneity of cognitive...
A study on the correlates of habit-, reward-, and fear-related motivations in alcohol use disorder.
Marcelo Piquet-Pessôa, Samuel R Chamberlain, Rico SC Lee, Gabriela M Ferreira, Marcelo S Cruz, Ana P Ribeiro, Gabriela B de Menezes, Lucy Albertella, Murat Yücel, Leonardo F Fontenelle
Sep 03, 2019
OBJECTIVE: We assessed self-reported drives for alcohol use and their impact on clinical features of alcohol use disorder (AUD) patients. Our prediction was that, in contrast to "affectively" (reward or fear) driven drinking...
