How to choose a law review: an empirical study by Cofone, I, Malé, P-JG

“…The optimal publication strategy for authors depends on whether they want to maximize prestige among peers or rather their impact on the discipline, as well as on authors’ career stage and risk averseness. These findings have implications for law school hiring, law review reform, and the study of exposure bias in academia.…”

Explaining gender differences in migrant sorting: evidence from Canada-US migration by Escamilla-Guerrero, D, Lepistö, M, Minns, C

“…Among married women, destination choices were much less influenced by labor market characteristics. These findings reveal how labor market constraints based on gender and marriage influence the allocation of migrant talent across destinations.…”

Quantum networks with coherent routing of information through multiple nodes by Kristjánsson, H, Zhong, Y, Munson, A, Chiribella, G

“…Surprisingly, the benefit of quantum routing also applies to the transmission of classical information: even if the transmitted data is purely classical, delocalising it on multiple routes can enhance the achievable transmission distance. Our findings highlight the potential of a future quantum internet not only for achieving secure quantum communication and distributed quantum computing but also for extending the range of classical data transmission.…”

Quality space computations for consciousness by Fleming, SM, Shea, N

“…For instance, the colour red is experienced as being more like orange, and less like green or blue. Recent empirical findings suggest that subjective similarity space can be explained in terms of similarities in neural activation patterns. …”

Conformational antibody binding to a native, cell-free expressed GPCR in block copolymer membranes by De Hoog, Hans-Peter M., Lin JieRong, Esther M., Banerjee, Sourabh, Décaillot, Fabien M., Nallani, Madhavan

“…Their biophysical characterization is, however, highly challenging because of their innate instability outside a stabilizing membrane and the difficulty of finding a suitable expression system. We here show the cell-free expression of a GPCR, CXCR4, and its direct embedding in diblock copolymer membranes. …”
