Three essays on the funds allocation of U.S. Firms by Shih, Chia Mei

“…We examine the spending patterns of these proceeds and find that firms do not have a greater tendency to spend option proceeds than they do with other equity proceeds. …”

Galaxy bias in the era of LSST: perturbative bias expansions by Nicola, A, Hadzhiyska, B, Findlay, N, García-García, C, Alonso, D, Slosar, A, Guo, Z, Kokron, N, Angulo, R, Aviles, A, Blazek, J, Dunkley, J, Jain, B, Pellejero, M, Sullivan, J, Walter, CW, Zennaro, M

“…While we find that we can reduce the complexity of the bias model for HEFT without compromising fit accuracy, this is not generally the case for the perturbative models. …”

How are cognitive maps formed and encoded in humans? by Glitz, L

“…We investigate map learning using maps consisting of discrete images. We find that the spatial sampling of transitions during training affects participants’ retention as well as multi-step inference ability. …”

THE MAYFLY / by Hazel, James, author 656313

“…When his attacker is found murdered the next day, Priest becomes a suspect and the only way to clear his name is to find out about the mysterious House of Mayfly - a secret society that people will kill for. …”

Heterogeneities in landed costs of traded grains and oilseeds contribute to unequal access to food by Verschuur, J, Vittis, Y, Obersteiner, M, Hall, JW

“…Here we quantify the landed cost for six grain commodities across 3,500 administrative regions, capturing regional cost differences to produce grain and transport it across international borders. We find large heterogeneities in the costs of imported grain, which are highest in Oceania, Central America and landlocked Africa. …”

Design and Development of an Accelerated Material Synthesis Platform for Automated Materials Research by Aissi, Eunice I.

“…X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and hyperspectral imaging measurements show equivalence between high-throughput synthesis and more traditional spin-coating methods. Results obtained through the high-throughput stability characterization method are aligned with stability trends reported in the literature and have an accuracy of 96.9% when compared to ground-truth degradation as measured by a domain expert.…”

Local geometry of NAE-SAT solutions in the condensation regime by Sly, Allan, Sohn, Youngtak

“…Our proof is based on coupling the local neighborhoods of an infinite spin system, which encodes the structure of the clusters, to a broadcast model on trees whose channel is given by the 1rsb belief-propagation fixed point. …”

Multiple scattering of light in cold atomic clouds in a magnetic field by Sigwarth, Olivier, Labeyrie, Guillaume, Delande, Dominique, Miniatura, Christian

“…We show that, for atoms with nonzero spin in their ground state, the CBS interference contrast can be increased compared to its value when B=0, a result at variance with classical samples. …”

Mechanically robust hydrophobic bio-based epoxy coatings for anti-corrosion application by Zheng, Shunli, Bellido-Aguilar, Daniel Angel, Huang, Yinjuan, Zeng, Xianting, Zhang, Qichun, Chen, Zhong

“…The coating was fabricated by introducing superhydrophobic SiO 2 nanoparticles, a hydrophobic curing agent, and hexadecyltrimethoxysilane into an isosorbide-based epoxy resin via a one-step spin coating process. The coating exhibits high hydrophobicity with a water contact angle (CA) of 134 ± 3°. …”
