Deriving bio-equivalents from in vitro bioassays: Assessment of existing uncertainties and strategies to improve accuracy and reporting

Bio-equivalents (e.g., 17β-estradiol or dioxin equivalents) are commonly employed to quantify the in vitro effects of complex human or environmental samples. However, there is no generally accepted data analysis strategy for estimating and reporting bio-eq ...

Does labor diversity promote entrepreneurship?

Marianna Marino

We find evidence that workforce educational diversity promotes entrepreneurial behavior of employees as well as the formation of new firms, whereas diversity in demographics hinders transitions to self-employment. Ethnic diversity favors entrepreneurship i ...

Cerebral Glucose Transport and Homeostasis

Rolf Gruetter

Cerebral glucose homeostasis is maintained by the equilibrium between glucose transport across the blood-brain-barrier (BBB), which occurs through facilitative carriers, and glucose consumption mainly initiated by hexokinase phosphorylation. Glucose concen ...

Local Interference Can Accelerate Gossip Algorithms

Michael Christoph Gastpar

In this paper, we show how interference can be exploited to perform gossip computations for average-based consensus over a larger local neighborhood, rather than only pairs of nodes. We use a new channel coding technique called computation coding to comput ...
