Competing pairing interactions responsible for the large upper critical field in a stoichiometric iron-based superconductor CaKFe4As4 by Bristow, M, Knafo, W, Reiss, P, Meier, W, Canfield, PC, Blundell, SJ, Coldea, AI

“…The upper critical fields are extremely large, reaching values close to ∼3 Tc at the lowest temperature, and the anisotropy decreases dramatically with temperature, leading to essentially isotropic superconductivity at 4.2K. We find that the temperature dependence of the upper critical field can be well described by a two-band model in the clean limit with band-coupling parameters favoring intraband over interband interactions. …”

Continent-wide drivers of spatial synchrony in breeding demographic structure across wild great tit populations by Woodman, JP, Vriend, SJG, Adriaensen, F, Cole, E, Evans, Park, JS, Firth, JA, Sheldon, B

Interns or workers? China's student labor regime by Chan, J, Pun, N, Selden, M

“…Based on fieldwork in Sichuan and Guangdong between 2011 and 2012 and follow-up interviews in 2014, as well as analysis of the Henan government's policies on internships, we find that the student labor regime has become integral to the capital-state relationship as a means to assure a lower cost and flexible labor supply for Foxconn and others. …”

Encephalization is not a universal macroevolutionary phenomenon in mammals but is associated with sociality by Shultz, S, Dunbar, R

“…We show that there is wide variation across groups in encephalization slopes across groups and that encephalization is not universal in mammals. We also find that temporal changes in brain size are not associated with allometric relationships between brain and body size. …”

AI-assisted discovery of quantitative and formal models in social science by Balla, J, Huang, S, Dugan, O, Dangovski, R, Soljačić, M

“…By extending neuro-symbolic methods to find compact functions and differential equations in noisy and longitudinal data, we show that our system can be used to discover interpretable models from real-world data in economics and sociology. …”

Inferring structural variant cancer cell fraction by Cmero, M, Yuan, K, Ong, CS, Schröder, J, PCAWG Evolution and Heterogeneity Working Group, Corcoran, NM, Papenfuss, T, Hovens, CM, Markowetz, F, Macintyre, G, PCAWG Consortium

“…We assess performance using in silico mixtures of real samples, at known proportions, created from two clonal metastases from the same patient. We find that SVclone's performance is comparable to single-nucleotide variant-based methods, despite having an order of magnitude fewer data points. …”

Social stratification in science: the ultra-elite in the UK by Bukodi, E, Goldthorpe, JH, Steinberg, I

“…In the UK case, we compare the social origins and educational careers of members of two possible scientific ultra-elites, defined by differing degrees of stringency, with those of other elite scientists. We find that as one moves from the elite to the less stringently defined ultra-elite, there is little evidence of increasing social stratification but that such evidence does emerge in moving to the more stringently defined ultra-elite. …”
