The intransitive dice kernel: $$\frac{\mathbbm {1}_{x\ge y}-\mathbbm {1}_{x\le y}}{4} - \frac{3(x-y)(1+xy)}{8}$$ by Sah, Ashwin, Sawhney, Mehtaab

“…The limit exhibits a degree of symmetry and can be used to prove that, for instance, the limiting probability that $$A_i$$ A i beats $$A_{i+1}$$ A i + 1 for $$1\le i\le 4$$ 1 ≤ i ≤ 4 and that $$A_5$$ A 5 beats $$A_1$$ A 1 is $$1/32+o(1)$$ 1 / 32 + o ( 1 ) . …”

A soccer-based intervention improves incarcerated individuals’ behaviour and public acceptance through group bonding by Newson, M, Peitz, L, Cunliffe, J, Whitehouse, H

“…As law-abiding behaviour also requires a supportive receiving community, we assessed factors influencing willingness to employ formerly incarcerated people in online samples in the United Kingdom and the United States (studies 4–9, n = 1,797). Results indicate that social bonding relates to both improved behaviour within prison and increased willingness of receiving communities to support re-integration efforts. …”

The impacts of US Fed interest rate liftoff on Southwest Asia stock markets, sovereign bond and currencies by Ooi, Teik Khim

“…The regression results of both models conclude that i) interest rate lift-off affects A SEAN stock markets and sovereign bond, but it is inconclusive for ASEAN currencies. ii) VIX affects ASEAN stock markets and currencies, but it is inconclusive for ASEAN sovereign bond. …”

Effect of prebonding anneal on the microstructure evolution and Cu–Cu diffusion bonding quality for three-dimensional integration by Peng, L., Zhang, L., Li, H.Y., Lim, Dau Fatt, Tan, Chuan Seng

“…The effect of prebonding anneal and hence the effective initial grain size of the Cu films on the final bond quality are studied using a 300-nm-thick Cu film that was deposited on a 200-mm silicon (Si) wafer and bonded at 300°C. …”

A highly strained Al-Al σ-bond in dianionic aluminum analog of oxirane for molecule activation by Koshino, Kota, Kinjo, Rei

“…Preliminary computational studies propose that the stepwise reaction mechanism involves the Al-Al σ-bond cleavage, dearomative Al-C bond formation, subsequent sigmatropic [1,3]shifts, and a pericyclic reaction.…”

Ho Ne (She) is Hmongic: one final argument by Ratliff, Martha

“…Although the genetic relationship of languages referred to as Hmong-Mien is not controversial, there are still subgrouping issues left to be resolved.2 "Ho Ne" [h022 ne53] (language of the "mountain people") known more widely by the Chinese name "She" [p55], is a Hmong-Mien language spoken by only about 1,000 people in Guangdong province, just a little bit north and northeast of Hong Kong. …”

Power of one bit of quantum information in quantum metrology by Cable, Hugo, Gu, Mile, Modi, Kavan

“…We present a model of quantum metrology inspired by the computational model known as deterministic quantum computation with one quantum bit (DQC1). Using only one pure qubit together with l fully mixed qubits we obtain measurement precision (defined as root-mean-square error for the parameter being estimated) at the standard quantum limit, which is typically obtained using the same number of uncorrelated qubits in fully pure states. …”
