Katherine Read: une carrière cosmopolite au féminin by Seth, CJ

“…Basing itself on largely unpublished documents held in archives across Europe, the article examines the career of Scottish painter Katherine Read (1723-1778) as a cosmopolitan one: she was trained in France and Italy, spoke and wrote fluent French, set up a highly regarded studio in England and left for India when she was over 50, all thanks, in part, to the Scottish (Jacobite) identity of which she remained conscious, but with a clear openness to other people and cultures. …”

Foreword by O’Hara, M

“…And those who are shamed most often and most deeply, made to feel ashamed for so much of their life, are the poorest among us. <br> When others say that they are disappointed in you, they are trying to inflict shame on you. …”

Multilevel path branching for digital options by Giles, MB, Haji-Ali, A-L

“…Combining this new estimator with Multilevel Monte Carlo (MLMC) leads to an estimator with a computational complexity that is similar to the complexity of a MLMC estimator when applied to options with Lipschitz payoffs.…”

SNeS: learning probably symmetric neural surfaces from incomplete data by Insafutdinov, E, Campbell, D, Henriques, JF, Vedaldi, A

“…We evaluate our method on the recently introduced CO3D dataset, focusing on the car category due to the challenge of reconstructing highly-reflective materials. …”

Finding large additive and multiplicative Sidon sets in sets of integers by Jing, Y, Mudgal, A

“…In this paper, we prove, amongst other results, that there exist absolute constants g ∈ N and δ > 0 such that for any h ∈ N and for any finite set A of integers, the largest B + h [g] set B inside A and the largest B × h [g] set C inside A satisfy<br><br> max{|B|, |C|} ≫h |A| (1+δ)/h .<br><br> In fact, when h = 2, we may set g = 31, and when h is sufficiently large, we may set g = 1 and δ ≫ (log log h) 1/2−o(1). …”

Link me baby one more time: social music discovery on Spotify by Babul, SA, Hristova, D, Lima, A, Lambiotte, R, Beguerisse-Díaz, M

“…We find that the receiver of a link is more likely to engage with a new artist when (1) they have similar music taste to the sender and the shared track is a good fit for their taste, (2) they have a stronger and more intimate tie with the sender, and (3) the shared artist is popular amongst the receiver’s connections. …”

The Mark of Cain: The crime of terrorism in times of armed conflict as interpreted by the Court of Appeal of England and Wales in R v. Mohammed Gul by Coco, A

“…Marking them as terrorists, even when they abide by the laws of war, constitutes instead a disincentive to comply with such laws.…”

The evolution of signalling and monitoring in plant-fungal networks by Scott, T, Kiers, ET, West, SA

“…Experiments have shown that when one plant is attacked by a pathogen or herbivore, this can lead to other plants connected to the same mycorrhizal network up-regulating their defense mechanisms. …”

2D human pose estimation in TV shows by Ferrari, V, Marín-Jiménez, M, Zisserman, A

“…Direct pose estimation on this uncontrolled material is often too difficult, especially when knowing nothing about the location, scale, pose, and appearance of the person, or even whether there is a person in the frame or not.…”

Heights via anabelian geometry and local Bloch-Kato Selmer sets by Betts, L

“…To this end, we present three main theorems giving such a description in terms of the Q_l and Q_p-pro-unipotent etale realisations when the base field is p-adic, and in terms of the R-pro-unipotent Betti–de Rham realisation when the base field is archimedean.…”

Seven children inequality and Britain’s next generation by Dorling, D

“…Dorling’s seven were born in 2018, when the UK faced its worst inequality since the Great Depression and became Europe’s most socially divided nation. …”

Estimation of end-of-outbreak probabilities in the presence of delayed and incomplete case reporting by Plank, MJ, Hart, WS, Polonsky, J, Keita, M, Ahuka-Mundeke, S, Thompson, RN

“…Towards the end of an infectious disease outbreak, when a period has elapsed without new case notifications, a key question for public health policymakers is whether the outbreak can be declared over. …”

Policies in parallel? A comparative study of journalistic AI policies in 52 global news organisations by Simon, FM, Becker, KB, Crum, C

“…Our study shows that publishers have already begun to converge in their guidelines on key points such as transparency and human supervision when dealing with AI-generated content. However, we argue that national and organisational idiosyncrasies continue to matter in shaping publishers’ practices, with both accounting for some of the variation seen in the data. …”

Dark patterns and consumer vulnerability by Zac, A, Huang, Y, von Moltke, A, Decker, C, Ezrachi, A

“…This insight highlights the instances in which dark patterns would be most effective – when no further action is required by the user. Consumer vulnerability is therefore more pronounced when dealing with online providers who store users’ payment details and can rely on a ‘single click’ to complete the purchase.…”

Linear auto-calibration for ground plane motion by Knight, J, Zisserman, A, Reid, I

“…In this work we show that when there is some control over the motion of the camera, a fast linear solution is available without these restrictions. …”

Tournaments of financial analysts by Yin, Huifang, Zhang, Huai

“…This finding survives several robustness checks and is more pronounced when the interim assessment date is closer to the end of the tournament period, when analysts are inexperienced, and when the market activity is high. …”

Does CEO power affect audit's report lag in the Gulf Cooperation Council economies? the curtailing role of corporate governance by Khan, Faisal, Abdul-Hamid, Mohamad Ali, Saidin, Saidatunur Fauzi

“…Further, the impact of CEO power on ARL remains unchanged when there is a gender-diverse board. However, gender diversity curtails the positive impact of CEO power (CEO-tenure and CEO duality) on ARL only when female representation is two or more on the corporate board. …”

Metacognition facilitates Theory of Mind through optimal weighting of trait inferences by Long, EL, Catmur, C, Fleming, S, Bird, G

“…This overconfidence effect was larger when self-perception was more erroneous. Results support several theoretical claims made by the Mind-space theory, and further elucidate the processes underlying accurate mental state inference. …”

Łojasiewicz inequalities near simple bubble trees by Malchiodi, A, Rupflin, M, Sharp, B

“…In this paper we prove a gap phenomenon for critical points of the $H$-functional on closed non-spherical surfaces when $H$ is constant, and in this setting furthermore prove that sequences of almost critical points satisfy Łojasiewicz inequalities as they approach the first non-trivial bubble tree. …”

Roman law on the just price in Nicolaus Bernoulli's Mathematics by Kennefick, C

“…Yet this is precisely what happened when probability was first developed in the second half of the seventeenth century and the first decades of the following one. …”
