Teaching Controversy

Norman Mailer worked to change definitions of obscenity in his writing and the brash controversies of his writing makes him an especially compelling figure for the college classroom. Teaching provocative works by Mailer encourages students to see how controversies change over tim...

Key safety outcomes of SGLT2 inhibitors versus DPP ‐4 inhibitors in general and vulnerable participants with T2DM : A target trial emulation study

Abstract Aims Sodium–glucose cotransporter‐2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), a class of oral hypoglycaemic agents (OHAs), have demonstrated cardiovascular and renal benefits. However, safety concerns may hinder their broader adoption, particularly among frail populations. We evaluated key s...

Applying System Call Filtering to Real-World Binaries (Experience Paper)

System call filtering restricts applications to the system calls they require, but inferring accurate syscall sets for binary-only programs remains challenging. A central difficulty lies in recovering precise control-flow information from binaries: over-approximation leads to ove...

Growth of aromatic hydrocarbon dust particles in the extremely metal-poor galaxy Sextans A

The mid-infrared spectrum of star-forming, high-metallicity galaxies is dominated by emission features from aromatic and aliphatic bonds in small carbonaceous dust grains, often referred to as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). In metal-poor galaxies, the abundance of PAHs...

Striking a Bargain: Narrative Identification of Wage Bargaining Shocks

ABSTRACT Wage markup shocks, an important driver of business cycles, are hard to pin down. We quantify the importance of exogenous variation in wage bargaining power, one source of those shocks, from German minimum wage introduction episodes and strikes. This disciplines the impu...

Refined expansions of the skew-stickiness ratio in stochastic volatility models

Building on the celebrated Bergomi–Guyon expansion, we derive next-to-leading order expansions in the volatility-of-volatility parameter for the Skew-Stickiness Ratio—an indicator of implied volatility dynamics—within a general class of forward variance models, thus pursuing the...
