Do internally managed REITs manage earnings more than externally managed REITs? by Ajayi, Oluwaseun Damilola, Akinsomi, Omokolade

“…The study’s findings imply that good corporate governance is a critical safeguard for stakeholders in exceptional circumstances when REITs have special incentives to manage earnings; as a result, it is suggested that REITs’ corporate governance is important, despite being overlooked in some circumstances. …”

Turing pattern formation in reaction-cross-diffusion systems with a bilayer geometry by Diaz, A, Krause, A, Maini, PK, Gaffney, E, Seirin-Lee, S

“…Our theoretical findings, for an arbitrary number of reacting species, reveal quantitative Turing conditions, highlighting when the coupling mechanism between the layered regions can either trigger patterning or stabilize a spatially homogeneous equilibrium regardless of the independent patterning state of each layer. …”

Demographic consequences of a changing environment on a population of Trinidadian guppies (Poecilia Reticulata) by Veylit, L

“…Structured models can be used to predict how individual level processes can determine population level responses and build an overall understanding of population dynamics. When these models are structured by fitness related phenotypic traits, they can simultaneously be used to provide insights into phenotypic change.…”

Negative cognitions about the self in patients with persecutory delusions: An empirical study of self-compassion, self-stigma, schematic beliefs, self-esteem, fear of madness, and... by Collett, N, Pugh, K, Waite, F, Freeman, D

“…It was found that the patients with persecutory delusions had low self-compassion, low self-esteem, increased fears of being mad, beliefs of inferiority to others, negative self-schemas, and low positive self-schemas when compared to the non-clinical control group. …”

Pragmatic competence and pragmatic tolerance in foreign language acquisition—revisiting the case of scalar implicatures by Schulz, J, Wonnacott, E

Drafting ‘Anon’ and killing anon: Virginia Woolf and the genesis of English literary language by Phillips, J

“…It then zooms in to examine various renditions of the moments at which Anon emerges and when Anon is killed. It reads across these variants, tracing the ways in which Woolf theorises and re-theorises the development of English literature and of English literary language as she drafts and redrafts the primal scene(s) of English literature. …”

“…Our findings demonstrate the power of genomic analysis when combined with mobility and epidemiological data to identify the drivers of transmission, as bidirectional transmission within and between African nations are grossly underestimated as seen in our import risk index estimates.…”

Analysis of online learning algorithms in machine learning by Wang, Z

“…Next, under the same framework, we show that when both the actor and critic are parameterized by single-layer neural networks, the Actor-critic algorithm will converge in distribution to a system of ODEs with random initial conditions as the number of hidden units and the number of training steps goes to infinity. …”
