Bubble instability of mIIA on AdS4 x S6 by Bomans, P, Cassani, D, Dibitetto, G, Petri, N

“…Motivated by these results, we study possible bubbling solutions connected to the G2 vacuum, representing non-perturbative instabilities of the latter. We indeed find an instability channel represented by the nucleation of a bubble of nothing dressed up with a homogeneous D2 brane charge distribution in the internal space. …”

Competition policy and the labour share by Zac, A, Casti, C, Decker, C, Ezrachi, A

“…Using a panel of 22 industries in 12 OECD economies, we find a positive statistical association between the effectiveness of competition policy and changes in the labor share over the period 1995–2005. …”

That's Not How We Do It Here! : A Story About How Organizations Rise, Fall - and Can Rise Again / by Kotter, John P., 1947-, author 368412, Rathgeber, Holger, author 507836

“…These meerkats have developed innova­tive solutions to find food and evade the vultures. But not everything in this small clan is as perfect as it seems at first. …”

STRUCTURAL RELIABILITY FUNDAMENTALS AND THEIRS APPLICATION TO OFFSHORE PLATFORMS / by Ezanizam Mat Soom, 1976-, author 554694, Mohd. Khairi Abu Husain, author 543748, Noor Irza Mohd. Zaki, author 543750, Nurul Uyun Azman, author 190976, Nurul 'Azizah Mukhlas, 1992-, author 595767, Sayyid Zainal Abidin Syed Ahmad, 1982-, author 609234

“…In addition, a reliable method is shown to determine the value of the load coefficient for determining the limit level of wave in-deck. End with readers finding out how to incorporate wave in-deck load when performing advanced non-linear analysis.…”

Three essays on corporate finance by Zou, Kunru

“…Taken together, our findings imply that debt covenants, which are designed to alleviate creditor-shareholder conflicts, may have unintended consequences of exacerbating the conflicts between creditors and other stakeholders. …”

Characterizing the Life Cycle of Online News StoriesUsing Social Media Reactions by Castillo, Carlos, El-Haddad, Mohammed, Pfeffer, Jürgen, Stempeck, Matt

“…We show that we can use this hybrid observation method to characterize distinct classes of articles. We also find that social media reactions can help predict future visitation patterns early and accurately.We validate our methods using qualitative analysis as well as quantitative analysis on data from a large inter-national news network, for a set of articles generating more than 3,000,000 visits and 200,000 social media re-actions. …”

The (lack of) distortionary effects of proxy-means tests: Results from a nationwide experiment in Indonesia by Banerjee, Abhijit, Hanna, Rema, Olken, Benjamin A., Sumarto, Sudarno

“…In a separate survey six months later, households in treated provinces report fewer televisions, though the effect dissipates thereafter. We find no change in actual television sales, or reported or actual SIM card ownership, suggesting that consumption distortions are likely small.…”

Representation theoretic interpretation and interpolation properties of inhomogeneous spin q-Whittaker polynomials by Korotkikh, Sergei

“…Moreover, we are able to characterize spin q-Whittaker polynomials in terms of vanishing at certain points, and we find interpolation analogues of q-Whittaker and elementary symmetric polynomials.…”

Landau-Zener transitions in a superconducting flux qubit by Johansson, J., Amin, M. H. S., Berkley, A. J., Bunyk, P., Choi, V., Harris, R., Johnson, M. W., Lanting, T. M., Lloyd, Seth, Rose, G.

“…The method used isolates a single qubit, tunes its tunneling amplitude Δ into the limit where Δ is much less than both the temperature T and the decoherence-induced energy level broadening, and forces it to undergo a Landau-Zener transition. We find that the behavior of the qubit agrees to a high degree of accuracy with theoretical predictions for Landau-Zener transition probabilities for a double-well quantum system coupled to a nonMarkovian 1 / f…”

Towards natural and realistic E7 GUTs in F-theory by Li, Shing Yan, Taylor, Washington

“…Three generations of Standard Model matter are realized in many of these vacua. We further find that many other Standard Model-like features are naturally compatible with these constructions. …”

Data artivism and feminicide by Suárez Val, Helena, D'Ignazio, Catherine, Acosta Romero, Jimena, Teng, Melissa Q, Fumega, Silvana

“…Our aim is to inspire the fields of critical data and data visualization studies to engage more deeply with art and find common language with artists, activists and advocacy groups (particularly those in Latin America), who are going beyond conventional visualization to reveal a range of alternative ways to mobilize data.…”

The impact of human capital and housing supply on urban growth by Büchler, Simon C, Niu, Dongxiao, Thompson, Anne K, Zheng, Siqi

“…To causally estimate this effect, we use a rich urban-level data set, choose our controls using the post-double-selection methodology, and instrument human capital with the per capita number of historical educational institutions. We find that human capital positively impacts urban population, house price and wage growth. …”

Contractor Learning and Home Energy Efficiency in Heat Pump Installations by Ontiveros, Johnattan H.

“…This work examines the role of learning on the cost and size of heat pump installations throughout the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC) rebate program. We find that as contractors gain experience, heating systems are downsized at the cost of less hours of displaced fossil-fuel based heating. …”

The Effect of Social Information on Reliance and Efficacy in AI-assisted Prediction by Alsobay, Mohammed

“…Through a pre-registered randomized human-subject experiment, I study the effect of two forms of social information-direct conversations and summarized peer decisions----on users' reliance and effectiveness in leveraging algorithmic advice across a series of decision-making tasks, and how t he availability of local model explanations and performance feedback moderates this effect. I find t hat, on average, neither form of social information affects t rust directly, yet they both moderate t he extent to which feedback and model explanations influence trust in the algorithm. …”

Explorations in two dimensional strongly correlated quantum matter: from exactly solvable models to conformal bootstrap by Jones, Robert A.

“…In the first project, we set out to answer: is it possible to find a lattice model in the Ising universality class that realizes the Kramers Wannier symmetry in such a way that it squares to 1, rather than a lattice translation as in the usual Ising model? …”

Natural Language Control for for Visually Interactive Decision Support Tools in Supply Chain Management by Guter, Willem J.

“…Various large language models are then evaluated for usability, functionality, and accuracy. We find that a state of the art commercial model is able to practically fulfill the role of a natural language interface, but that open-source large language models are not currently capable of functioning in this way.…”
