Our modeling approach suggests differences in metabolism and β-lapachone redox cycling that underlie phenotypic differences in radiation-sensitive and -resistant cancer cells. This approach can be extended to investigate the synergistic action of NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase 1 bioactivatable drugs and radiation therapy. Antioxid. Redox Signal. 29, 937-952.
This paper explores the relationship between linguistic variation and individual attitudes toward risk and uncertainty. We propose an innovative marker that classifies languages according to the number of non-indicative moods in the grammatical contexts involving uncertainty. We find that speakers of languages that use these moods more intensively are on average more risk averse. Our marker is then used to instrument risk aversion in the model for financial asset accumulation. In addition, by using Chen (2013)'s FTR linguistic marker as a proxy for the subjective discount rate, we disentangle the effects of risk aversion and time preferences on asset accumulation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
