We present the results of re...

Cell nuclei are like gated communities—quite selective about who gets in. And understandably so, because if the wrong proteins showed up at the wrong time and place, the consequences could be disastrous. The standard procedure for moving large molecules that cannot diffuse from the cytoplasm into the nucleus is to use the transport proteins known as karyopherins as escorts. How do karyopherins ...

Ireland provides a context where election results show split–ticket voting is common, but the strategic interpretations of such behaviour that have been very prominent elsewhere are not generally applicable. We employ data from the Irish national election studies to exp...

Generally, to buy discounted tickets, users must convince ticket sellers that their attributes (i.e. age, profession, location) satisfy the ticket price policies. Hence, privacy issues have been the primary concerns of e-tickets users. In this...

The objective of the Fly Airline case is for you to learn to develop audit procedures in a context, e-ticket revenue, in which most of the evidence is available electronically, and in which many tests of controls and substantive tests can be performed using data stored in electronic form. In sequence, you will identify controls and their objectives, match controls to financial statement asserti...

Upon arrival to a ticket queue, a customer is offered a slip of paper with a number on it—indicating the order of arrival to the system—and is told the number of the customer currently in service. The arriving customer then chooses whether to take the slip or balk, a decision based on the perceived queue length and associated waiting time. Even after taking a ticket, a customer may abandon the ...
