Attenuating attrition

Attrition Bias

G2E3 attenuating replicative stress

cells generally display an increased level of replicative stress. While in S phase, their replication forks undergo temporary stalling and sometimes even permanent collapse, leading to the accumulation of single stranded DNA and a DNA damage response. Strategies to exploit this phenomenon by further increasing replicative stress include the use of conventional DNA-damaging chemotherapeutics, bu...

Continuing Wars of Attrition

This paper presents a new model of the war of attrition, based on a geographical or territorial dispute. Both sides try to extend their boundaries, and the level of effort at each time is endogenous. There are two kinds of stationary equilibria, one with fighting to completion, the other with a cessation of hostilities. As a player gets closer to losing, that player's probability of winning bat...

Attrition in otolaryngology residency.

Attrition is a disruptive problem in residency training programs. Resident attrition has been more thoroughly investigated and reported in other medical fields with limited data specific to otolaryngology. Using a Web-based survey of otolaryngology residency program directors, information regarding a 5-year cohort of residents was collected. The survey response rate was 61% (59 of 97 programs),...

Neurolinguistic aspects of attrition

The aim of this paper is to provide the reader with a general overview of the field of attrition. Having situated this relatively new research domain with respect to related fields and approaches, a brief summary of the most important research questions and preliminary findings is given. The discussion then focuses on two issues that are of particular interest with respect to neurolinguistics: ...
