A spatial panel wage curve for Spain by Ramos, R, Nicodemo, C, Sanromá, E

“…Opposite to previous studies, we find that the wage equation is highly autoregressive and that regional spillovers are relevant to explain the relationship between unemployment and wages in the Spanish provinces. © 2014 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.…”

Job search channels, neighborhood effects, and wages inequality in developing countries: the Colombian case by Nicodemo, C, Adolfo Garcia, G

“…This paper analyzes the relationship between social networks and the probability of finding a job. We explore geographic closeness as the social interaction to explain the job search function. …”

Do wars abroad affect attitudes at home? by Klymak, M, Vlandas, T

“…Our findings highlight the impact of foreign conflicts on a wide range of attitudes in countries that are externally threatened, but neither directly involved militarily, nor necessarily very close to the conflict. …”

Suppressing condensation frosting using micropatterned ice walls by Zuo, Zichao, Zhao, Yugang, Li, Kang, Zhang, Hua, Yang, Chun

“…To ensure vapor preferentially depositing on upper sidewalls, a critical ice wall height exists, below which fine ice grains initiate in the adjacent of the substrate base and grow substantially faster, compromising the anti-frosting performance. …”

User satisfaction and service quality improvement priority of bus rapid transit in Belo Horizonte, Brazil by Zheng, Yunhan, Kong, Hui, Petzhold, Guillermo, Barcelos, Mariana M, Zegras, Christopher P, Zhao, Jinhua

“…Our results show that “expenses with public transport” (i.e. fares) should be addressed first among all the attributes, and the improvement priorities of “speed”, “reliability” and “customer service” increased after the BRT opening. These findings can help policymakers fine-tune improvement strategies targeted at different types of services.…”

Tuning the shear thickening of suspensions through surface roughness and physico-chemical interactions by Bourrianne, Philippe, Niggel, Vincent, Polly, Gatien, Divoux, Thibaut, McKinley, Gareth H.

“…Finally, we demonstrate how mixtures of particles with opposing surface chemistry make it possible to finely tune the shear-thickening response of the suspension at a fixed volume fraction, paving the way for a fine control of the shear-thickening transition in engineering applications.…”

Drive-specific selection in multistable mechanical networks by Kedia, Hridesh, Pan, Deng, Slotine, Jean-Jacques, England, Jeremy L.

“…We found that there exists a range of forcing amplitudes for which the attractor states of driven disordered multistable mechanical networks are fine-tuned with respect to the pattern of external forcing to have low energy absorption from it. …”

Stability of internal gravity wave modes: from triad resonance to broadband instability by Akylas, T.R., Kakoutas, Christos

“…For short-scale perturbations such that 𝜇 ≪ 1 but 𝛼 = 𝜇/𝜖 ≫ 1, this triad resonance instability reduces to the familiar parametric subharmonic instability (PSI), where triads comprise fine-scale perturbations with half the basic-wave frequency. …”

Tango 2: Aligning Diffusion-based Text-to-Audio Generations through Direct Preference Optimization by Majumder, Navonil, Hung, Chia-Yu, Ghosal, Deepanway, Hsu, Wei-Ning, Mihalcea, Rada, Poria, Soujanya

“…The loser outputs, in theory, have some concepts from the prompt missing or in an incorrect order. We fine-tune the publicly available Tango text-to-audio model using diffusion-DPO (direct preference optimization) loss on our preference dataset and show that it leads to improved audio output over Tango and AudioLDM2, in terms of both automatic- and manual-evaluation metrics.…”
