Two superconducting transitions in single-crystal La 2 − x Ba x CuO 4 by Tee, Xian Yang, Ito, T., Ushiyama, T., Tomioka, Y., Martin, I., Panagopoulos, Christos

“…We use spatially-resolved transport techniques to investigate the superconducting properties of single crystals La2−xBax CuO4. We find a superconducting transition temperature Tcs associated with the ab-plane surface region which is considerably higher than the bulk Tc. …”

Partnership Ties Shape Friendship Networks: A Dynamic Social Network Study by Stadtfeld, Christoph, Pentland, Alex

“…In our study, we follow dynamic friendship formation among 126 individuals and their cohabiting partners in a university-related graduate housing community over a period of nine months (N = 2,250 self-reported friendship relations). We find that partnership ties strongly shape the dynamic process of friendship formation. …”

Two Paths: Why States Join or Avoid China’s Belt and Road Initiative by Atkins, Eleanor, Fravel, M Taylor, Wang, Raymond, Ackert, Nick, Huang, Sihao

“…Thus, we argue that most states should join the BRI unless they view the costs of participation as higher. We hypothesize, and find support for, the argument that democracies are less likely to join because they view participating in a Chinese-led initiative as more costly than non-democracies. …”

Can Plants Perceive Human Gestures? Using AI to Track Eurythmic Human–Plant Interaction by Gil, Alvaro Francisco, Weinbeer, Moritz, Gloor, Peter A.

“…Using machine learning, we found that the voltage differentials over time of the plant predict if (a) eurythmy has been performed, and (b) which kind of eurythmy gestures has been performed. We also find that the signals are different based on the species of the plant. …”

To What Extent Do Alternative Energy Sources Displace Coal and Oil in Electricity Generation? A Mean-Group Panel Analysis by Liddle, Brantley

“…As such, our approach avoids/addresses several statistical issues common in long-macro panel analyses—heterogeneity, nonstationarity, and cross-sectional dependence—that have largely been ignored/unaddressed in previous displacement studies. Ultimately, we find that the displacement effect is small and only marginally significant for nuclear, and is significant though less than unity for natural gas and hydro, whereas intermittent renewables (solar and wind) have unitary displacement effect. …”

Machine learning-guided discovery of gas evolving electrode bubble inactivation by Lake, Jack R, Rufer, Simon, James, Jim, Pruyne, Nathan, Scourtas, Aristana, Schwarting, Marcus, Ambadkar, Aadit, Foster, Ian, Blaiszik, Ben, Varanasi, Kripa K

“…We study electrode inactivation caused by oxygen evolution while using surface engineering to control bubble formation. We find that the inactivation of the entire projected area, as is currently believed, is a poor approximation which leads to non-physical results. …”

Minority shareholders' control rights and the quality of corporate decisions in weak investor protection countries : a natural experiment from China by Chen, Zhihong, Ke, Bin, Yang, Zhifeng

“…Using a 2004 Chinese securities regulation that requires equity offering proposals to obtain the separate approval of voting minority shareholders, we examine whether giving minority shareholders increased control over corporate decisions helps reduce value-decreasing corporate decisions for firms domiciled in weak investor protection countries. We find that the regulation deters management from submitting value-decreasing equity offering proposals in firms with higher mutual fund ownership. …”
