Nicotiana benthamiana is the most widely-used experimental host in plant virology. The recent release of the draft genome sequence for N. benthamiana consolidates its role as a model for plant-pathogen interactions. Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) is commonly employed for quantitative gene expression analysis. For valid qPCR analysis, accurate normalisation of gene expression against an appro...

The aim of this paper is twofold. First, to document the use and the diffusion of the “new” compensation and work organisation practices in Danish private sector firms and second, to examine how and why firms differ regarding the adoption of different schemes. The analysis is based on a detailed mail questionnaire answered by 1,600 Danish private sector firms. JEL Codes: J33, J41, L23

Abstract We examine the two-way interplay between organizational cultures and design, where culture is modeled as prevailing social identities among workplace groups that can affect project choices. In a setting cultural dynamics depend on expected relative payoffs of holding different identities, we investigate how tribalism charismatic leadership shape steady-state cultures. show strong be vi...

In this paper we study the mechanics of “leading by example” in teams. Leadership is beneficial for the entire team when agents are conformists, i.e., dislike effort differentials. We also show how leadership can arise endogenously and discuss what type of leader benefits a team most. JEL codes: C72; D23; D63; J31; L23.

C100 emerging nascent chain, binds to the large ribosomal subunit in the vicinity of the tunnel opening and forms a sheltered folding space. The 3.5Å crystal structure of the large ribosomal subunit of the eubacterium Deinococcus radiodurans, D50S, in complex with the TF binding domain (TFa) from Deinococcus radiodurans, reveals for the first time the molecular structure of the entire TFa bound...

This paper studies a cheap talk model in which two senders having partial and non-overlapping private information simultaneously communicate with an uninformed receiver. The sensitivity of the receiver’s ideal action to one sender’s private information depends on the other sender’s private information. We show that the senders’information transmissions exhibit strategic complementarity: more in...

This paper studies organizations in which participants have common preferences but communication is costly. In this model, use words to describe similar information, but need not use precise words for frequent events and vague words for unusual ones. The model identifies a source of communication failure across units. It provides an argument for giving the best-informed agents decision-making a...

Background: Reactive arthritis (ReA) is a T cell mediated inflammatory process. The immune response is primarily directed against a triggering organism, although autoimmunity has been invoked in long-lasting, antibiotic-resistant disease. Although a variety of different species are known to trigger Reactive arthritis, the clinical manifestations are strikingly similar as well as closely associa...
