The Relationship between Linguistic Representations in Biological and Artificial Neural Networks by Kauf, Carina

“…Then I use fMRI to probe the computations that drive the language network’s response. I find evidence for a generalized reliance of language comprehension on syntactic processing, contra claims that language comprehension relies on shallow/associative processing, and for only a superficial encoding of sentence meaning. …”

Investigating the inner controls on explosive eruptions using textural analyses and petrology by Bernard, Olivier

“…First, I focus on the Rabaul caldera system (Papua-New-Guinea) where effusive, strombolian, vulcanian and sub-plinian eruptions occured in the past 120 years without any noticeable chemical changes in the magma compositions. I find that slight changes in the pre-eruptive state of the magma such as phenocryst-content and exsolved volatile contents influenced magma ascent rates and subsequent eruption styles. …”

Three essays on corporate finance by Sun, Rui

“…The above pattern remains robust if we apply various matching schemes or if we only look at the transitory cash flow shock. To find out what is the driving force of private firms’ cash flow allocation, we attempt to draw parallel evidence from public firms, but find that the analysis within public firms cannot be applied mechanically to private firms. …”
