Quasi-markets are increasingly used in public service provision, yet they remain highly contested. This paper develops a conceptual framework grounded in economic theory to examine how quasi-markets differ from traditional markets along five key dimensions: (1) revenues, costs, and profits, (2) the matching of supply and demand, (3) competition, (4) structural change, and (5) rent-seeking. Assumin
Many software language tools use declarative domain-specific languages (DDSLs) to implement parts of their functionality, such as context-free grammars for parsing or inference rules for type analysis. For interoperability and ease of use, DDSLs often rely on embedded general-purpose language (GPL) code fragments, as in the semantic actions of parser specifications, but require that these GPL frag
We consider indeterminate symmetric moment problems related to birth and death processes with quartic rates. The Nevanlinna matrices are presented and the entire functions B and D are expressed in terms of the trigonometric functions of order 4. Several examples of symmetric and nonsymmetric solutions are given.
We study the Al-Salam-Chihara polynomials when q > 1. Several solutions of the associated moment problem are found, and the orthogonality relations lead to explicit evaluations of several integrals. The polynomials are shown to have raising and lowering operators and a second order operator equation of Sturm-Liouville type whose eigenvalues are found explicitly. We also derive new measures with re

Despite recent progress within the field of immuno-oncology, immune suppression in the tumor microenvironment, defective antigen presentation, and low levels of tumor-specific T cells are key limitations of current cancer immunotherapies. CD40-targeting immunotherapies hold promises for addressing these limitations across solid tumors. Here, we describe ATOR-4066, a bispecific antibody that target
A search for neutral long-lived particles (LLPs) decaying in the ATLAS hadronic calorimeter using 140 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions at s = 13 TeV delivered by the LHC is presented. The analysis is composed of three channels. The first targets pair-produced LLPs, where at least one LLP is produced with sufficiently low boost that its decay products can be resolved as separate jets. The second an
Dynamic Resource Management (DRM) facilitates the real-time adjustment of resources allocated to a job during its execution. Recently, DRM has gained interest due to its potential to contribute to sustainable HPC by enhancing energy efficiency and increasing throughput for HPC system providers and users. Implementing DRM requires comprehensive changes and coordination across the entire HPC softwar
We survey results on Chebyshev polynomials centered around the work of H. Widom. In particular, we discuss asymptotics of the polynomials and their norms and general upper and lower bounds for the norms. Several open problems are also presented.
The real-time, cost-effective detection of marine toxins like tetrodotoxin (TTX) remains a significant challenge for the scientific community. Traditional methods, including cell-based assays (CBAs), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and automated patch clamp (APC), are time-consuming, requiring expensive lab-based equipment and highly trained personnel. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent as
Boreal lakes are generally seen as sources of carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere, even though a part of them are periodically undersaturated with CO2 and have the potential to be net-autotrophic. This undersaturation is the result of photosynthetic activity by phytoplankton, especially flagellated species like Gonyostomum semen, which form high-biomass blooms in brown water lakes. We hypothesi
The inclusive cross section for the production of a single top quark in association with a Formula Presented boson is measured using Formula Presented of proton-proton collision data collected with the ATLAS detector at Formula Presented. Events containing two charged leptons and at least one jet identified as originating from a Formula Presented-quark are selected. A multivariate discriminant is
Lakes located in the boreal region are generally supersaturated with carbon dioxide (CO2), which emerges from inflowing inorganic carbon from the surrounding watershed and from mineralization of allochthonous organic carbon. While these CO2 sources gained a lot of attention, processes that reduce the amount of CO2 have been less studied. We therefore examined the CO2 reduction capacity during time
The future of our planet relies on scientists' ability to effectively translate knowledge into action, and researchers have an imperative commitment to leverage their understanding. As aquatic early career researchers (ECRs), we draw upon personal experiences to share our learnings about how individuals can drive change. We showcase diverse approaches for ECRs to create meaningful impacts by conne
BACKGROUND: The evidence linking sugar intake to cardiovascular disease risk remains largely inconclusive, with variations observed across different subgroups of sugar intake. In addition, studies on genetic markers of sugar intake are scarce, especially for different sugar subgroups.OBJECTIVE: This genome-wide association study (GWAS) aimed to investigate genetic variants associated with the inta
Denna studie har som syfte att undersöka hur naturbaserade bygglösningar kan användas i urbana miljöer för att främja biologisk mångfald. Arbetet undersöker också vilka utmaningar och möjligheter som finns för aktörer inom Sveriges byggbransch som arbetar med implementering av dessa lösningar samt hur de upplever nuvarande styrmedel och lagstiftningar. Bakgrunden till studien bygger på den urbanis
This chapter critically examines the European Union's (EU) discourse towards the Southern Neighbourhood. The central argument is that, following poststructuralism, the EU's construction of itself as an actor in the region is problematic, given its claims to civilizational values and the imposition of norms of good governance that have been legitimised through the framework of Normative Power Europ
