Digital technologies and performance incentives: Evidence from businesses in the Swiss economy

Kavli Affiliate: Johannes Lehmann | First 5 Authors: Johannes Lehmann, Michael Beckmann, , , | Summary: Using novel survey data from Swiss firms, this paper empirically examines the relationship between the use of digital technologies and the prevalence of performance incentives. We argue that digital technologies tend to reduce the cost of organizational monitoring through […]

Organizational culture and the usage of Industry 4.0 technologies: evidence from Swiss businesses

Kavli Affiliate: Johannes Lehmann | First 5 Authors: Simon Alexander Wiese, Johannes Lehmann, Michael Beckmann, , | Summary: Using novel establishment-level observational data from Switzerland, we empirically examine whether the usage of key technologies of Industry 4.0 distinguishes across firms with different types of organizational culture. Based on the Technology-Organization-Environment and the Competing Values framework, […]

Entropy as a Design Principle in the Photosystem II Supercomplex

Kavli Affiliate: Graham R. Fleming | First 5 Authors: Johanna L. Hall, Shiun-Jr Yang, David T. Limmer, Graham R. Fleming, | Summary: Photosystem II (PSII) can achieve near-unity quantum efficiency of light harvesting in ideal conditions and can dissipate excess light energy as heat to prevent formation of reactive oxygen species under light stress. Understanding […]

Molecular tuning of excitons and polarization anisotropy in hybrid bilayer crystals

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey B. Neaton | First 5 Authors: Tomojit Chowdhury, Aurélie Champagne, Fauzia Mujid, Patrick Knüppel, Zehra Naqvi | Summary: Bilayer crystals, built from monolayers of two-dimensional (2D) crystals with different lattice orientations, generate interlayer potentials leading to unique excitonic properties. However, the ability to tune the interlayer potential is limited by the fixed […]

T-GMSI: A transformer-based generative model for spatial interpolation under sparse measurements

Kavli Affiliate: Jie Shan | First 5 Authors: Xiangxi Tian, Jie Shan, , , | Summary: Generating continuous environmental models from sparsely sampled data is a critical challenge in spatial modeling, particularly for topography. Traditional spatial interpolation methods often struggle with handling sparse measurements. To address this, we propose a Transformer-based Generative Model for Spatial […]
