description: Creativity is a complex, multi-faceted concept encompassing a variety of related aspects, abilities, properties and behaviours. If we wish to study creativity scientifically, then a tractable and well-articulated model of creativity is required. Such a model would be of great value to researchers investigating the nature of creativity and in particular, those concerned with the evaluation of creative practice. This paper describes a unique approach to developing a suitable model of how creative behaviour emerges that is based on the words people use to describe the concept. Using techniques from the field of statistical natural language processing, we identify a collection of fourteen key components of creativity through an analysis of a corpus of academic papers on the topic. Words are identified which appear significantly often in connection with discussions of the concept. Using a measure of lexical similarity to help cluster these words, a number of distinct themes emerge, which collectively contribute to a comprehensive and multi-perspective model of creativity. The components provide an ontology of creativity: a set of building blocks which can be used to model creative practice in a variety of domains. The components have been employed in two case studies to evaluate the creativity of computational systems and have proven useful in articulating achievements of this work and directions for further research.

description: In this study, the interaction of 5-fluorouracil (5FU) drug with adenine (A), guanine(G), cytosine(C), uracil (U), and thymine (T) nucleobases of DNA and RNA are surveyed at the ωB97XD/LANL2DZ, M06-2X/6-31G (d, p), MPW1PWQ1/6-31G(d, p), PBEPBE/6-31(d, p) and ωB97XD/6-31G(d, p) levels of density functional theory (DFT). The considered complexes of 5FU drug with nucleobases are optimized at the above level of theories. Max Force and RMS of optimization criteria are 0.00035 (Ha), and 0.0003 respectively. From optimized structures, the adsorption energy, thermodynamic parameters in gas and solvent media, quantum theory atom in molecule (QTAIM), electron localized function (ELF), and reduced density gradient (RDG) are calculated at ωB97XD/LANL2DZ and M06-2X/6-31G (d, p) level of DFT theory. The QTAIM, ELF, and RDG results confirm that the nature of bonding between 5FU drug with A, C, G, U, and T nucleobases is electrostatic or hydrogen bond type. The adsorption and thermodynamic energy results demonstrate that the interaction of the 5FU drug with C and G nucleobases is stronger than other nucleobases. The results of this study can be suggested the mechanism of interaction of the 5FU drug with nucleobases of DNA and RNA. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma
title: Unravelling managerial bad news hoarding: evidence from stock price crash risk
Creators: name: Yin, Aiyang
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2029

description: With three empirical essays, this thesis endeavours to contribute further empirical insights into stock price crash risk (managerial bad news hoarding). Specifically, the first essay (Chapter 3) investigates the impact of board gender diversity on mitigating future stock price crash risk. The second essay (Chapter 4) and third essay (Chapter 5) 
delve into the effects of managerial bad news hoarding on corporate innovation and financial analysts’ forecasts, respectively. The findings reveal a positive correlation 
between board gender diversity and a reduction in stock price crash risk. This effect is attributed to the reinforcement of board monitoring mechanisms and the alleviation of agency conflicts. Notably, firms with three or more female independent directors exhibit a more pronounced decrease in future stock price crash risk, supporting the critical mass theory. Furthermore, this thesis empirically establishes that firms inclined 
towards withholding bad news demonstrate higher levels of corporate innovation, both in terms of input and output. This phenomenon stems from managerial overconfidence 
spurred by the tail events associated with stock price crash risk, leading to increased innovative activities. Additionally, the practice of bad news hoarding enables managers to alleviate short-term market pressures, allowing a focus on implementing strategic innovation initiatives. In addition, this study identifies a positive correlation between managerial bad news hoarding and the quality of financial analysts’ forecasts, characterised by enhanced accuracy and reduced forecast dispersion. This relationship
is driven by intensified herding behaviour among financial analysts when forecasting firms with higher levels of bad news hoarding. Analysts’ herding behaviour leads to 
reduced forecast dispersion and facilitates the aggregation of valuable information, ultimately improving forecast accuracy.

description: HIV-protease inhibitor Ritonavir (RTV) is a clinical-stage drug. We exhibit here the synergistic effect of RTV coupled with cisplatin as potential combination therapy for treatment of cervical cancer. Knowledge about the interaction of RTV with the high-expression signatures in cancer is limited. Therefore, we utilized computational techniques to understand and assess the drug-binding affinity and drug-target interaction of RTV with these altered protein signatures. Computational studies revealed the potential interaction ability of RTV along with few other HIV protease inhibitors against these altered cancer targets. All targets exhibited good affinity towards RTV and the highest affinity was exhibited by CYP450 3A4, PDGFR and ALK. RTV established stable interaction with PDGFR and molecular dynamics simulation confirms their frequent interaction for 300 ns. Control docking of PDGFR with standard PDGFR inhibitor exhibited lower binding affinity when compared with RTV-PDGFR complex. In search of drugs as a part of combination therapy to reduce side effects of Cisplatin, this paper further evaluated the effect of combination of RTV and Cisplatin in cervical cancer cells. We propose several combination models that combines anti-viral drug RTV and standard chemotherapeutic agent, Cisplatin to be synergistic with CI value ranging from of 0.01 to 1.14. These observations suggest that anti-viral compound (RTV) could act synergistically with Cisplatin for cervical cancer therapy. However, further studies are warranted to investigate the combinatorial mode of action of RTV and Cisplatin on different molecular pathways to have a translational outcome in cervical cancer.

description: This thesis presents results from an experiment in which 22 human subjects each interact with a dynamic system 40 times over a one-week period. For each interaction, a subject performs a command-following task, where the reference command is the same for all 22 subjects but different on each trial. The subjects are divided into 2 groups of 11 subjects. One group performs the command-following task without reference-command preview. The other group is provided with 1-s preview of the reference command. The experimental results are used to examine the effects of reference-command preview. For the group with 1-s reference-command preview, the average identified feedforward time delay is approximately 26 ms over the last ten trials, whereas the average identified feedforward time delay is approximately 284 ms over the last ten trials for the group without preview. For the group with preview, the average identified feedforward controller approximates the inverse dynamics of the system with which the subjects interact better after 40 trials than on the first trial. In contrast, for the group without preview, the average identified feedforward controller does not approximate the inverse dynamics of the system better after 40 trials.

description: The effect of gain and loss of esteem is introduced into the equations of time evolution of social relations, hostile or friendly, in a group of actors. The equations allow for asymmetric relations. We prove that in the presence of this asymmetry, the majority of stable solutions are jammed states, i.e. the Heider balance is not attained there. A phase diagram is constructed with three phases: the jammed phase, the balanced phase with two mutually hostile groups, and the phase of so-called paradise, where all relations are friendly.

description: Carvacrol, a monoterpenoid phenolic phytochemical, a potent antioxidant, and neuroprotective agent is an emerging neuroprotective agent for neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs). Considering scarce information on carvacrol analogues, we hypothesized an in silico investigation emphasizing their preferential binding towards glutathione peroxidase (GPX4) as a target across different species for evaluating through preclinical to clinical studies (2OBI and 6HN3 for Homo sapiens; 5L71 for Mus musculus). Enrichment analysis suggests that ROC (0.59) and AUC (0.61) values have higher sensitivity and significant number of ranked actives. Extra Precision (XP) of 59 compounds was conducted, followed by molecular dynamics and trajectory analysis. Top three hits were chosen for each target i.e., 101203408, 101419546, 59294 (2OBI); 101419546, 100938426, and 28092 (6HN3); and 12059, 52434, 335 (5L71) implying high docking score. 101419546 is common among 2OBI and 6HN3 targets, indicating a multi-target approach. Trajectory analysis of hits provides a permissible range of RMSD, RMSF, Rgyr (∼1.3–2 Å, ∼0.84–1.09 Å, ∼15.05–15.29 Å). Overlapped dynamically simulated 3D-structures of Apo and complexes display significant conformational changes in RMSD of the complexes (∼1.40–2.0 Å) in contrast to Apo (∼1.3–1.8 Å), suggesting structural stability and compactness of the complexes within 45–90 ns. DCCM and PCA analysis shows positive correlation and residual clustering among residues of complexes. The establishment of firm H-bonding, favorable aromaticity and ADMET profile makes them promising drugs across various GPX4 targets among the species. Studies considering the targets across different species aids in anticipating and discovering a common compound for future NDDs therapeutics from bench to bedside. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: After many years of investigations, our understanding of the dynamics of strongly-coupled chiral gauge theories is still quite unsatisfactory today. Conventional wisdom about strongly-coupled gauge theories, successfully applied to QCD, is not always as useful in chiral gauge theories. Recently some new ideas and techniques have been developed, which involve concepts of generalized symmetries, of gauging a discrete center symmetry, and of generalizing the 't Hooft anomaly matching constraints to include certain mixed symmetries. This new development has been applied to chiral gauge theories, leading to many interesting, sometimes quite unexpected, results. For instance, in the context of generalized Bars-Yankielowicz and generalized Georgi-Glashow models, these new types of anomalies give a rather clear indication in favor of the dynamical Higgs phase, against confining, flavor symmetric vacua. Another closely related topics is strong anomaly and the effective low-energy action representing it. It turns out that they have significant implications on the phase of chiral gauge theories, giving indications consistent with the findings based on the generalized anomalies. Some striking analogies and contrasts between the massless QCD and chiral gauge theories seem to emerge from these discussions. The aim of this work is to review these developments.

description: Thermoelectric effects allow the generation of electrical power from waste heat and the electrical control of cooling and heating. Remarkably, these effects are also highly sensitive to the asymmetry in the density of states around the Fermi energy and can therefore be exploited as probes of distortions in the electronic structure at the nanoscale. Here we consider two-dimensional graphene as an excellent nanoscale carbon material for exploring the interaction between electronic and thermal transport phenomena, by presenting a direct and quantitative measurement of the Peltier component to electronic cooling and heating in graphene. Thanks to an architecture including nanoscale thermometers, we detected Peltier component modulation of up to 15 mK for currents of 20 $μ$A at room temperature and observed a full reversal between Peltier cooling and heating for electron and hole regimes. This fundamental thermodynamic property is a complementary tool for the study of nanoscale thermoelectric transport in two-dimensional materials.

We review some fundamental aspects of photonic science that drove the emer- gence of astrophotonics, and highlight the achievements in observational astrophysics. We analyze the prospects for further technological development also considering the potential synergies with other fields of physics (e.g. non-linear optics in condensed matter physics). We also stress the central role of fiber optics in routing and transporting light, delivering complex filters, or interfacing instruments and telescopes, more specifically in the context of a growing usage of adaptive optics.

description: In this paper, we investigate the Nichols algebra $\mathfrak{B}(W_{X,r})$ associated to any non-degenerate involutive solution $(X, r)$ of the Yang-Baxter equation. Infinite examples of finite dimensional Nichols algebras are obtained, including those of dimension $n^m$ with $m$, $n\in\Bbb Z^{\geq 2}$. It turns out that the Nichols algebra $\mathfrak{B}(W_{X, r})$ has interesting relations with multinomial expansion. This is a generalization of the work in arXiv:2103.06489, which built a connection between the Nichols algebras of squared dimension and Pascal's triangle.

description: The excess free radicals not neutralized by the antioxidant defenses damage the essential macromolecules of our cells, causing abnormalities in the expression of genes and membrane receptors, cell proliferation or death, immune disorders, mutagenesis, deposits of proteins or lipofuschin in tissues. The first objective of this study was to elucidate the composition of the essential oil of the aerial and root part of Centaurea sulphurea during beginning of the vegetative cycle (March), beginning of the flowering stage (April) and full bloom (May/June) using GC/FID and GC/MS. The second aim was to describe the antioxidant activity using three methods (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), β-carotene bleaching assay) and bioinformatical study of ctDNA sequence and three endogenous enzymes inhibition. The essential oils obtained from the root during the full bloom period consisted mainly of caryophyllene oxide, aplotaxene and (Z)-phytol. While, the aerial parts were dominated by caryophyllene oxide, verridiflorol and humulene epoxide II. The results showed that essential oil presented an excellent antioxidant activity with IC50 values of 2.06 g/L and 1.29 g/L, for aerial and root parts, compared to butylated hydroxyltoluene (BHT) and Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) controls and the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) co-crystallized inhibitor. The results of the molecular docking revealed that (Z)-phytol (Ligand 39) has an affinity to interact with ctDNA sequence, and three targets Endogenous enzymes. The molecular dynamics study was conducted for the best inhibitors (Z)-phytol. A few key residues were identified at the binding site of receptors. The in-silico assessment of the ADME properties and BOILED-Egg plot reveals that compound (Z)-phytol (L39) is permeable to the blood brain barrier and have high lipophilicity and high coefficient of skin permeability in the intestines with good bioavailability. The ADMET analysis also showed that this oxygenated diterpene is safer to replace the synthetic drugs with side effects. Further testing is needed to assess its effectiveness in reducing oxidative stress for use in the pharmaceutical industry. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: In this study, the interaction of 5-fluorouracil (5FU) drug with adenine (A), guanine(G), cytosine(C), uracil (U), and thymine (T) nucleobases of DNA and RNA are surveyed at the ωB97XD/LANL2DZ, M06-2X/6-31G (d, p), MPW1PWQ1/6-31G(d, p), PBEPBE/6-31(d, p) and ωB97XD/6-31G(d, p) levels of density functional theory (DFT). The considered complexes of 5FU drug with nucleobases are optimized at the above level of theories. Max Force and RMS of optimization criteria are 0.00035 (Ha), and 0.0003 respectively. From optimized structures, the adsorption energy, thermodynamic parameters in gas and solvent media, quantum theory atom in molecule (QTAIM), electron localized function (ELF), and reduced density gradient (RDG) are calculated at ωB97XD/LANL2DZ and M06-2X/6-31G (d, p) level of DFT theory. The QTAIM, ELF, and RDG results confirm that the nature of bonding between 5FU drug with A, C, G, U, and T nucleobases is electrostatic or hydrogen bond type. The adsorption and thermodynamic energy results demonstrate that the interaction of the 5FU drug with C and G nucleobases is stronger than other nucleobases. The results of this study can be suggested the mechanism of interaction of the 5FU drug with nucleobases of DNA and RNA. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: The conservation of fold and chemistry of the enzymes associated with histidine biosynthesis suggests that this pathway evolved prior to the diversification of Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukaryotes. The only exception is the histidinol phosphate phosphatase (HolPase). So far, non-homologous HolPases that possess distinct folds and belong to three different protein superfamilies have been identified in various phylogenetic clades. However, their evolution has remained unknown to date. Here, we analyzed the evolutionary history of the HolPase from γ-Proteobacteria (HisB-N). It has been argued that HisB-N and its closest homologue d-glycero-d-manno-heptose-1,7-bisphosphate 7-phosphatase (GmhB) have emerged from the same promiscuous ancestral phosphatase. GmhB variants catalyze the hydrolysis of the anomeric d-glycero-d-manno-heptose-1,7-bisphosphate (αHBP or βHBP) with a strong preference for one anomer (αGmhB or βGmhB). We found that HisB-N from Escherichia coli shows promiscuous activity for βHBP but not αHBP, while βGmhB from Crassaminicella sp. shows promiscuous activity for HolP. Accordingly, a combined phylogenetic tree of αGmhBs, βGmhBs, and HisB-N sequences revealed that HisB-Ns form a compact subcluster derived from βGmhBs. Ancestral sequence reconstruction and in vitro analysis revealed a promiscuous HolPase activity in the resurrected enzymes prior to functional divergence of the successors. The following increase in catalytic efficiency of the HolP turnover is reflected in the shape and electrostatics of the active site predicted by AlphaFold. An analysis of the phylogenetic tree led to a revised evolutionary model that proposes the horizontal gene transfer of a promiscuous βGmhB from δ- to γ-Proteobacteria where it evolved to the modern HisB-N.

description: Evolutionary tracks for the X-ray binaries Cyg X-3, IC 10 X-1, NGC 300 X-1, SS 433, and M33 X-7 are computed using the Scenario Machine code. The compact objects in IC 10 X-1, NGC 300 X-1, and M33 X-7 are the most massive stellar mass black hole candidates. Cyg X-3, IC 10 X-1, and NGC 300 X-1 are the only currently known Wolf-Rayet stars with degenerate companions. SS 433 is the only known superaccretor in the Milky Way. Therefore, the stars studied provide excellent laboratories for testing scenarios for the evolution of binaries under extreme conditions. The classical evolutionary scenario is consistent with modern observational data. During the evolution of these binaries, hypernova explosions accompanied by the collapse of stellar cores with large angular momenta can occur, leading to long gamma-ray bursts. At the end of their evolution, Cyg X-3, IC 10 X-1, NGC 300 X-1, and SS 433 may form binary relativistic objects, which will subsequently merge due to the radiation of gravitational waves. The gravitational waves emitted during mergers of relativistic stars should be detectable by existing and future gravitational-wave antennas. In the course of its future evolution, M33 X-7 will pass through a Thorne-Zytkow stage. The formation of a Thorne-Zytkow object can also be accompanied by gravitational-wave radiation. Figure 2 contains two merging black holes with masses almost identical to the second LIGO event GW151226.

description: The oscillatory interlayer exchange interaction between two magnetic layers separated by a metallic spacer is one of the few coherent quantum phenomena that persist at room temperature. Here we show that this interaction can be controlled dynamically by illuminating the sample (e.g. a spin valve) with radiation in the 10-100 THz range. We predict that the exchange interaction can be changed from ferromagnetic to anti-ferromagnetic (and vice versa) by tuning the amplitude and/or the frequency of the radiation. Our chief theoretical result is an expression that relates the dynamical exchange interaction to the static one that has already been extensively measured.

description: Interactions between solid-state quantum emitters and cavities are important for a broad range of applications in quantum communication, linear optical quantum computing, nonlinear photonics, and photonic quantum simulation. These applications often require combining many devices on a single chip with identical emission wavelengths in order to generate two-photon interference, the primary mechanism for achieving effective photon-photon interactions. Such integration remains extremely challenging due to inhomogeneous broadening and fabrication errors that randomize the resonant frequencies of both the emitters and cavities. In this letter we demonstrate two-photon interference from independent cavity-coupled emitters on the same chip, providing a potential solution to this long-standing problem. We overcome spectral mismatch between different cavities due to fabrication errors by depositing and locally evaporating a thin layer of condensed nitrogen. We integrate optical heaters to tune individual dots within each cavity to the same resonance with better than 3 μeV of precision. Combining these tuning methods, we demonstrate two-photon interference between two devices spaced by less than 15 μm on the same chip with a post-selected visibility of 33%. These results pave the way to integrate multiple quantum light sources on the same chip to develop quantum photonic devices.

description: The transport of heat and particles in the relatively collisional edge regions of magnetically confined plasmas is a scientifically challenging and technologically important problem. Understanding and predicting this transport requires the self-consistent evolution of plasma fluctuations, global profiles and flows, but the numerical tools capable of doing this in realistic (diverted) geometry are only now being developed. Here a 5-field reduced 2-fluid plasma model for the study of instabilities and turbulence in magnetised plasmas is presented, built on the BOUT++ framework. This cold ion model allows the evolution of global profiles, electric fields and flows on transport timescales, with flux-driven cross-field transport determined self-consistently by electromagnetic turbulence. Developments in the model formulation and numerical implementation are described, and simulations are performed in poloidally limited and diverted tokamak configurations.

description: Motivated by observations of heterogeneous domain structure on the surface of cells, we consider a minimal model to describe the dynamics of phase separation on the surface of a spherical particle. Finite-size effects on the curved particle surface lead to the formation of long-lived, metastable states for which the density is distributed in patches over the particle surface. We study the time evolution and stability of these states as a function of both the particle size and the thermodynamic parameters. Finally, by connecting our findings with studies of patchy particles, we consider the implications for self-assembly in many-particle systems.

description: Voltage control of magnetic anisotropy (VCMA) in magnetic heterostructures is a key technology for achieving energy-efficiency electronic devices with ultralow power consumption. Here, we report the first demonstration of the VCMA effect in novel epitaxial Ru/Co2FeAl(CFA)/MgO heterostructures with interfacial perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA). Perpendicularly magnetized tunnel junctions with the structure of Ru/CFA/MgO were fabricated and exhibited an effective voltage control on switching fields for the CFA free layer. A large VCMA coefficient of 108 (139) fJ/Vm for the CFA film was achieved at room temperature (4 K). The interfacial stability in the heterostructure was confirmed by repeating measurements. Temperature dependences of both the interfacial PMA and the VCMA effect were also investigated. It is found that the temperature dependences follow power laws of the saturation magnetization with an exponent of ~2. The significant VCMA effect observed in this work indicates that the Ru/CFA/MgO heterostructure could be one of the promising candidates for spintronic devices with voltage control.

description: Smart healthcare has achieved significant progress in recent years. Emerging artificial intelligence (AI) technologies enable various smart applications across various healthcare scenarios. As an essential technology powered by AI, natural language processing (NLP) plays a key role in smart healthcare due to its capability of analysing and understanding human language. In this work, we review existing studies that concern NLP for smart healthcare from the perspectives of technique and application. We first elaborate on different NLP approaches and the NLP pipeline for smart healthcare from the technical point of view. Then, in the context of smart healthcare applications employing NLP techniques, we introduce representative smart healthcare scenarios, including clinical practice, hospital management, personal care, public health, and drug development. We further discuss two specific medical issues, i.e., the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and mental health, in which NLP-driven smart healthcare plays an important role. Finally, we discuss the limitations of current works and identify the directions for future works.

description: Background The World Health Organisation and palliative care stakeholders recommend that healthcare workers are educated in palliative care. Provision of high-quality palliative care is fundamental to nursing practice. However, caring for palliative care patients and meeting family needs is challenging without appropriate knowledge and experience. Palliative care education and clinical skill development for undergraduate student nurses is a priority to ensure graduate nurses are equipped with the knowledge and skill to deliver safe and competent care. Methods A scoping review guided by Arksey and O’Malley’s framework was used to identify undergraduate student nurses’ palliative care education and preparation. A comprehensive literature search of five electronic databases and grey literature were conducted from January 2002 to December 2021. The aim was to review the empirical evidence and ascertain how undergraduate student nurses’ palliative care education is organised, facilitated, delivered and evaluated. Screening was performed independently by two reviewers against eligibility criteria with meetings to discuss included papers and form a consensus. Data was extracted and related to palliative care undergraduate student nurses’ education, educational model, methodology, key findings, and recommendations. Analysed and summarised data was mapped onto the four key review questions (educational models utilised, methods used to assess effectiveness, facilitators/barriers and gaps in the literature). Results 34 papers met the criteria for this review. The review highlights that undergraduate nursing palliative care education is more evident in high income countries. Limited and diverse published research existing in low- and middle-income countries. Educational models utilised were theoretical and experiential learning and educational process, early integration and multiple learning methods which were highlighted as facilitating factors. However, crowded curricula, lack of palliative care clinical placement expertise, difficulty providing clinical placement, timing and delivery of palliative care and difficulty responding to simulated environments (manikins) were perceived barriers. Nevertheless, palliative care education can ncrease knowledge, positive attitude, self-confidence and adequate preparation of undergraduate student nurses. Conclusion This review highlights that there is limited research regarding the timing and delivery of palliative care principles and practice in undergraduate student nurse education. Early integration of palliative care education impacts upon students perceived preparedness for practice and positively influences their attitudes to palliative care provision.

description: We provide an alternative proof that the Chow group of $1$-cycles on a Severi--Brauer variety associated to a biquaternion division algebra is torsion-free. There are three proofs of this result in the literature, all of which are due to Karpenko and rely on a clever use of $K$-theory. The proof that we give here, by contrast, is geometric and uses degenerations of quartic elliptic normal curves.

description: We address a problem of Casimir apparatus in dense medium and weak gravitational field. The falling of the apparatus has to be governed by the equivalence principle, with proper account for contributions to the weight of the apparatus from its material part and from distorted quantum fields. We discuss general expression for the corresponding force in metric with cylindrical symmetry. By way of example we compute explicit expression for Archimedes force, acting on the Casimir apparatus of finite size, immersed into thermal bath of free scalar field. It is shown that besides universal term, proportional to the volume of the apparatus, there are non-universal quantum corrections, depending on the boundary conditions.

description: For $L/K$ a finite Galois extension of number fields, the relative Pólya group $\Po(L/K)$ coincides with the group of strongly ambiguous ideal classes in $L/K$. In this paper, using a well known exact sequence related to $\Po(L/K)$, in the works of Brumer-Rosen and Zantema, we find short proofs for some classical results in the literatur. Then we define the ``Ostrowski quotient'' $\Ost(L/K)$ as the cokernel of the capitulation map into $\Po(L/K)$, and generalize some known results for $\Po(L/\mathbb{Q})$ to $\Ost(L/K)$.
