description: The charged black hole of Banados, Teitelbiom and Zanelli is studied in extended gravitational thermodynamics where there is a dynamical pressure and volume. It is a simple example of a super-entropic black hole, violating the reverse isoperimetric inequality. It is proven that this property implies that its specific heat at constant volume is negative, signalling a new kind of fundamental instability for black holes. It is conjectured that this instability is present for other super-entropic black holes, and this is demonstrated numerically for a large family of known solutions.

description: Abstract: Background: Establishing protected areas is a key approach to protecting nature. However, protected areas are often biased towards remote and less productive lands. It is important to evaluate the impacts protected areas have had, or in other words, what changes in outcomes of interest are attributable to protected areas. Studies that evaluate the impact of protected areas on vegetation—the state and processes that support biodiversity—are scarce and published in a range of disciplines. This systematic review will scope, identify, and synthesize studies that quantitatively measure the impact of protected areas on vegetation extent and condition. The findings will be useful for researchers and policy makers and provide important knowledge for setting post 2020 targets of the Convention on Biological Diversity. This review will also identify research gaps in the current evidence base and provide direction for future research. Methods: This review follows the Collaboration for Environmental Evidence guidelines for evidence synthesis and complies with the ROSES (RepOrting standards for Systematic Evidence Synthesis) reporting framework. We will use a comprehensive search strategy developed through several rounds of scoping review to cover databases; Web of Science, Scopus and CAB Abstracts, 16 organizational websites, google scholar and existing review documents. Our search terms and strategies aim to find impact evaluation studies (both peer-reviewed and grey literature) in English from protected areas globally. The search results will be screened at title, abstract, and then full text by two independent reviewers. A quality appraisal of evidence will be conducted using Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) risk of bias tool. Review results will be presented in the form of narrative synthesis, as well as in meta-analysis form, where data quality and amount allow.

description: Agrifood firms in the modernizing/globalizing world, both in developing and developed countries, regularly need to undertake innovations. They develop supply chains to accommodate the nature of the innovations. In this paper we analyze an innovator’s supply chain design problem. The design of the supply chain may include allocating resources between production of feedstock (agricultural products) and processing and marketing, and determining the amount of feedstock to be obtained through contracts. We show that the innovator determines its overall level of production taking advantage of its monopoly power in the output market, and behaves as a monopsony in buying feedstock from contractors. These decisions are constrained by the marginal cost of capital and the properties of production and marketing technologies. When the innovator is risk averse, risk considerations in production processing and marketing and the correlation between risks will affect both overall production and share of input purchased through contracts.

description: We introduce a quantification of the question in the title: the logarithmic sensitivity of the relic neutralino density Omega-hsquared to variations in input parameters such as the supersymmetric mass scales m_0, m_1/2 and A_0, tan beta and the top and bottom quark masses. In generic domains of the CMSSM parameter space with a relic density in the preferred range 0.1 < Omega-hsquared < 0.3, the sensitivities to all these parameters are moderate, so an interesting amount of supersymetric dark matter is a natural and robust prediction. Within these domains, the accuracy in measuring the CMSSM and other input parameters at the LHC may enable the relic density to be predicted quite precisely. However, in the coannihilation regions, this might require more information on the supersymetric spectrum than the LHC is able to provide. There are also exceptional domains, such as those where direct-channel pole annihilation dominates, and in the `focus-point' region, where the logarithmic sensitivity to the input parameters is greatly increased, and it would be more difficult to predict Omega-hsquared accurately.

description: Imaging surveys will find many tens to hundreds of thousands of Type Ia supernovae in the next decade, and measure their light curves. In addition to a need for characterizing their types and subtypes, a redshift is required to place them on a Hubble diagram to map the cosmological expansion. We investigate the requirements on redshift systematics control in order not to bias cosmological results, in particular dark energy parameter estimation. We find that additive and multiplicative systematics must be constrained at the few$\,\times 10^{-3}$ level, effectively requiring spectroscopic followup for robust use of photometric supernovae. Catastrophic outliers need control at the subpercent level. We also investigate sculpting the spectroscopic sample.

The basic symmetries are additivity of the fields and additivity of test functions. We write down in explicit form a state of this covariance system. It turns out to reproduce the traditional Fock representation of the free photon field, with a Lorentz invariant vacuum. Properties of smeared-out photons are discussed.

African mole-rats

description: Abstract: The naked mole-rat (Heterocephalus glaber) is famous for its longevity and unusual physiology. This eusocial species that lives in highly ordered and hierarchical colonies with a single breeding queen, also discovered secrets enabling somewhat pain-free living around 20 million years ago. Unlike most mammals, naked mole-rats do not feel the burn of chili pepper’s active ingredient, capsaicin, nor the sting of acid. Indeed, by accumulating mutations in genes encoding proteins that are only now being exploited as targets for new pain therapies (the nerve growth factor receptor TrkA and voltage-gated sodium channel, NaV1.7), this species mastered the art of analgesia before humans evolved. Recently, we have identified pain insensitivity as a trait shared by several closely related African mole-rat species. One of these African mole-rats, the Highveld mole-rat (Cryptomys hottentotus pretoriae), is uniquely completely impervious and pain free when confronted with electrophilic compounds that activate the TRPA1 ion channel. The Highveld mole-rat has evolved a biophysical mechanism to shut down the activation of sensory neurons that drive pain. In this review, we will show how mole-rats have evolved pain insensitivity as well as discussing what the proximate factors may have been that led to the evolution of pain-free traits.

Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: 140207 Financial Economics
subject: FOS: Economics and business

description: This study examines the behavior of European listed and non-listed firms in terms of earnings management practices. The sample is composed by 409 acquirers which have announced and completed M&A deals between 2009 and 2016. From the 409 completed transactions, 29% of them concern stock payments against 71% of them that concern cash payments. The accruals were estimated via the modified version of Jones model in order to obtain the component of discretionary accruals, the main proxy for earnings management. The tested sample considered 400 acquirers combined with the respective 400 matching firms that have not participated in M&A deals during the sample period. The results provide weak evidence that managers manipulate earnings upwards in the period prior to their M&A announcements. These findings seem to approach those of Erickson & Wang (1999) and Koumanakos et al. (2005) for which pre-merger earnings were not managed by cash acquirers.

description: In this paper, we develop a framework to analyze adoption of indivisible technologies by relatively small farms using a threshold diffusion model. It shows that different supply chains may emerge to enable the adoption of indivisible technologies. Independent technology dealers may buy the indivisible equipment and rent it to farmers, when the gain from adoption is not affected by scale or ownership of the technology. Also, larger farmers may buy the technology equipment and rent it (renting the machine per se or providing a set of services that includes use of the machinery for the farmer buying the service) to smaller farmers, especially when there are gains from scale or ownership. The paper derives equilibrium prices and quantities in the output, equipment, and technology rental market. These equilibrium prices and quantities depend on the heterogeneity of farmers and the features of the technology. Introduction of the new indivisible technology will benefit larger adopting farmers and consumers but may hurt non-adopters. We illustrate our conceptual findings with empirical examples.

description: Abstract: Background: Early single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) studies suggested that it was unusual to see more than one isoform being produced from a gene in a single cell, even when multiple isoforms were detected in matched bulk RNA-seq samples. However, these studies generally did not consider the impact of dropouts or isoform quantification errors, potentially confounding the results of these analyses. Results: In this study, we take a simulation based approach in which we explicitly account for dropouts and isoform quantification errors. We use our simulations to ask to what extent it is possible to study alternative splicing using scRNA-seq. Additionally, we ask what limitations must be overcome to make splicing analysis feasible. We find that the high rate of dropouts associated with scRNA-seq is a major obstacle to studying alternative splicing. In mice and other well-established model organisms, the relatively low rate of isoform quantification errors poses a lesser obstacle to splicing analysis. We find that different models of isoform choice meaningfully change our simulation results. Conclusions: To accurately study alternative splicing with single-cell RNA-seq, a better understanding of isoform choice and the errors associated with scRNA-seq is required. An increase in the capture efficiency of scRNA-seq would also be beneficial. Until some or all of the above are achieved, we do not recommend attempting to resolve isoforms in individual cells using scRNA-seq.

This is done by establishing a general relation between the dimensionality of qudits and their topology of connections for a scalable multi-qudit processor, where higher qudit levels are used for substituting ancillas. The suggested model is of importance for the realization of quantum algorithms and as a method of quantum error correction codes for single-qubit operations.

Muon Anomalous Magnetic Moment and $τ\to μγ$ in a Realistic String-Inspired Model of Neutrino Masses

description: We discuss the lepton sector of a realistic string-inspired model based on the Pati-Salam $SU(4)\times SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R$ gauge group supplemented by a U(1) family symmetry. The model involves third family Yukawa unification, predicts large $\tan β\sim 50$, and describes all fermion masses and mixing angles, including approximate bi-maximal mixing in the neutrino sector. Atmospheric neutrino mixing is achieved via a large 23 entry in the neutrino Yukawa matrix which can have important phenomenological effects. We find that the recent BNL result on the muon ($g-2$) can be easily accommodated in a large portion of the SUSY parameter space of this model. Over this region of parameter space the model predicts a CP-even Higgs mass near 115 GeV, and a rate for $τ\to μγ$ which is close to its current experimental limit.

description: We use the voluntary adoption of the NuVal shelf nutrition labels by a grocery retailer to estimate the value of these labels to shoppers in the yogurt category. Using an incomplete quadratic almost ideal demand system to represent consumer demand, we found a statistically significant positive effect of these shelf labels on demand for yogurt with above-average NuVal scores. The coefficients on the NuVal treatment variable in the demand equations for yogurt with below-average NuVal scores and unlabeled yogurt are not statistically significant. The value of nutrition information brought by NuVal labels is estimated to be 3.1% of consumer expenditures on yogurt at the store that uses the labels.

description: Food deserts are increasingly considered as a potential cause of overweight and obesity, yet existing literature is largely inconclusive in part due to the infeasibility of sorting out multiple confounding mechanisms from a purely empirical perspective. This article investigates the hypothesized causality in a rational-choice framework, where the individual chooses how much to patronize a distant supermarket and/or a nearby convenience store, broadly defined, and the weight outcome depends on this choice. Results suggest that neither limited supermarket access nor low income, the key features of food deserts, would determine the weight outcome, which is also affected by individual preferences as well as time and monetary costs associated with grocery shopping. Parametric conditions under which varying effects on weight occur are further derived to elicit policy implications

description: We present a novel approach aimed at identifying the key chemical elements to search for the (missing) descendants of very massive first stars exploding as Pair Instability Supernovae (PISN). Our simple and general method consists in a parametric study accounting for the unknowns related to early cosmic star-formation and metal-enrichment. Our approach allow us to define the most likely [Fe/H] and abundance ratios of long-lived stars born in inter-stellar media polluted by the nucleosynthetic products of PISN at a > 90%, 70%, and 50% level. In agreement with previous works, we show that the descendants of very massive first stars can be most likely found at [Fe/H]~ -2. Further, we demonstrate that to search for an under-abundance of [(N, Cu, Zn)/Fe] < 0 is the key to identify these rare descendants. The "killing elements" N, Zn, and Cu are not produced by PISN, so that their sub-Solar abundance with respect to iron persists in environments polluted by further generations of normal core-collapse supernovae up to a 50% level. We show that the star BD +80 245, which has [Fe/H]= -2.2, [N/Fe]= -0.79, [Cu/Fe]=-0.75, and [Zn/Fe]= -0.12 can be the smoking gun of the chemical imprint from very massive first stars. To this end we acquired new spectra for BD +80 245 and re-analysed those available from the literature accounting for Non-Local Thermodynamic Equilibrium corrections for Cu. We discuss how to find more of these missing descendants in ongoing and future surveys to tightly constrain the mass distribution of the first stars.

description: The quark-gluon vertex in Landau gauge is studied in the quenched approximation using the Sheikholeslami-Wohlert (SW) fermion action with mean-field improvement coefficients in the action and for the quark fields. We see that the form factor that includes the running coupling is substantially enhanced in the infrared, over and above the enhancement arising from the infrared suppression of the quark propagator alone. We define two different momentum subtraction renormalisation schemes -- \MOMT (asymmetric) and \MOMB\ (symmetric) -- and determine the running coupling in both schemes. We find Lambda_msbar(N_f=0)=300(+150/-180)(55)(30) MeV from the asymmetric scheme. This is somewhat higher than other determinations of this quantity, but the uncertainties -- both statistical and systematic -- are large. In the symmetric scheme, statistical noise prevents us from obtaining a meaningful estimate for Lambda_msbar.

description: Genus Rhotana Walker
 Rhotana Walker, 1857: 160. Type species: Rhotana latipennis Walker, 1857, by monotypy.
 Genestia Stål, 1858: 450. Type species: Genestia vitriceps Stål, 1858, by monotypy, synonymised by Stål, 1858: 450.
 Decora Bierman, 1910: 19. Type species: Decora pavo Bierman, 1910, by monotypy, synonymised by Zelazny, 1981: 264.
 Diagnosis. In the genus Rhotana Walker the forewing venation is similar to that of the genera Levu Kirkaldy, Rhotanella Fennah, and Dichotropis Kirkaldy. The genus can be recognized by the combination of the following characters:
1. Forewings broad and unpowdered or with only small powdered patches.
2. Forewings with 5 narrow costal cells.
3. Fore- and/or hindwings often with elaborate colour patterns.
4. Male pygofer often with prominent, pointed, lateral projections.
 As far as live specimens have been observed, the forewings are mostly carried in a common plane (8 species seen) and are then often raised, see figures 4, and 28-32. However, in at least one species (Figs. 33 and 34) the forewings are carried in a tectiform position. The differences to Levu are in particular the larger size, the elaborate markings on fore- and hindwings, prominent projections on the male pygofer, and/or facial carinae which are separated or just touching in front of the eyes. In comparison to Rhotanella the first costal cell of the forewings is narrow and in comparison to Dichotropis the male genital styles lack a finger-like process arising from its base and bearing terminal bristles (however some species of Rhotana have a needle-like process).
 Gender. Walker did not explain the origin of the name Rhotana and we are unaware of any Latin or Greek word that this name could have been derived. Therefore, we consider Rhotana to be feminine, following article 30.2.4 of the Code.
 Note. Already in the original description of Genestia Stål synonymises this genus with Rhotana Walker. A possible explanation is that Stål's publication appeared shortly after Walker's and the synonymy could have been a last minute addition.
 Distribution. The genus is widely distributed in southern Asia, Australia and the Pacific (see Fig. 120 and Table 6), but many species have been only rarely collected.
 Grouping and keys. In the following, we provide keys and descriptions for the species of 6 species groups. Finally we include 10 keys for identifying the species which occur in different countries and regions.

description: Continual learning of deep neural networks is a key requirement for scaling them up to more complex applicative scenarios and for achieving real lifelong learning of these architectures. Previous approaches to the problem have considered either the progressive increase in the size of the networks, or have tried to regularize the network behavior to equalize it with respect to previously observed tasks. In the latter case, it is essential to understand what type of information best represents this past behavior. Common techniques include regularizing the past outputs, gradients, or individual weights. In this work, we propose a new, relatively simple and efficient method to perform continual learning by regularizing instead the network internal embeddings. To make the approach scalable, we also propose a dynamic sampling strategy to reduce the memory footprint of the required external storage. We show that our method performs favorably with respect to state-of-the-art approaches in the literature, while requiring significantly less space in memory and computational time. In addition, inspired inspired by to recent works, we evaluate the impact of selecting a more flexible model for the activation functions inside the network, evaluating the impact of catastrophic forgetting on the activation functions themselves.
A Lower Bound on the Quantum Capacity of Channels with Correlated Errors

description: The highest fidelity of quantum error-correcting codes of length n and rate R is proven to be lower bounded by 1 - exp [-n E(R)+ o(n)] for some function E(R) on noisy quantum channels that are subject to not necessarily independent errors. The E(R) is positive below some threshold R', which implies R' is a lower bound on the quantum capacity. This work is an extension of the author's previous works [M. Hamada, Phys. Rev. A, 65, 052305, 2002 (e-Print quant-ph/0109114, LANL, 2001), and M. Hamada, submitted to IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory, 2002 (e-Print quant-ph/0112103, LANL, 2001)], which presented the bound for channels subject to independent errors, or channels modeled as tensor products of copies of a completely positive linear map. The relation of the channel class treated in this paper to those in the previous works are similar to that of Markov chains to sequences of independent identically distributed random variables.

description: We illustrate geometric scaling for the photon-proton cross section with a very simple saturation model. We describe the proton structure function F2 at small x in a wide kinematical range with an elementary functional form and a small number of free parameters. We speculate that the symmetry between low and high Q2 recently discovered in the data could be related to a well-known symmetry of the two-gluon- exchange dipole-dipole cross section.

description: Diamond membrane devices containing optically coherent nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers are key to enable novel cryogenic experiments such as optical ground-state cooling of hybrid spin-mechanical systems and efficient entanglement distribution in quantum networks. Here, we report on the fabrication of a (3.4 $\pm$ 0.2) μm thin, smooth (surface roughness r$_q$ < 0.4 nm over an area of 20 μm by 30 μm diamond membrane containing individually resolvable, narrow linewidth (< 100 MHz) NV centers. We fabricate this sample via a combination of high energy electron irradiation, high temperature annealing, and an optimized etching sequence found via a systematic study of the diamond surface evolution on the microscopic level in different etch chemistries. While our particular device dimensions are optimized for cavity-enhanced entanglement generation between distant NV centers in open, tuneable micro-cavities, our results have implications for a broad range of quantum experiments that require the combination of narrow optical transitions and μm-scale device geometry.

description: Abstract: We used palaeoproteomics and peptide mass fingerprinting to obtain secure species identifications of key specimens of early domesticated fauna from South Africa, dating to ca. 2000 BP. It can be difficult to distinguish fragmentary remains of early domesticates (sheep) from similar-sized local wild bovids (grey duiker, grey rhebok, springbok—southern Africa lacks wild sheep) based on morphology alone. Our analysis revealed a Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry (ZooMS) marker (m/z 1532) present in wild bovids and we demonstrate through LC–MS/MS that it is capable of discriminating between wild bovids and caprine domesticates. We confirm that the Spoegrivier specimen dated to 2105 ± 65 BP is indeed a sheep. This is the earliest directly dated evidence of domesticated animals in southern Africa. As well as the traditional method of analysing bone fragments, we show the utility of minimally destructive sampling methods such as PVC eraser and polishing films for successful ZooMS identification. We also show that collagen extracted more than 25 years ago for the purpose of radiocarbon dating can yield successful ZooMS identification. Our study demonstrates the importance of developing appropriate regional frameworks of comparison for future research using ZooMS as a method of biomolecular species identification.

description: There are three independent techniques for determining the age of the universe: via cosmochronology of long-lived radioactive nuclei, via stellar modelling and population synthesis of the oldest stellar populations, and via the precision cosmology that has become feasible with the mapping of the acoustic peaks in the cosmic microwave background. We demonstrate that all three methods give completely consistent results, and enable us to set rigorous bounds on the maximum and minimum ages that are allowed for the universe. We present new constraints on the age of the universe by performing a multiband colour analysis of bright cluster ellipticals over a large redshift range (0.3
