“…The analyses were carried out to detect differences or similarities in the chaînes opératoires of ceramic production at the three sites, in particular, to examine the clay types selected to make the three main categories of wares for which Yangshao and Majiayao are known, namely painted fine wares, burnished fine wares, and unpainted coarse wares. …”

An Elekes–Rónyai theorem for sets with few products by Mudgal, A

“…Given $n \in \mathbb{N}$, we call a polynomial $F \in \mathbb{C}[x_{1},\dots ,x_{n}]$ degenerate if there exist $P\in \mathbb{C}[y_{1}, \dots , y_{n-1}]$ and monomials $m_{1}, \dots , m_{n-1}$ with fractional exponents, such that $F = P(m_{1}, \dots , m_{n-1})$. Our main result shows that whenever a polynomial $F$, with degree $d \geq 1$, is non-degenerate, then for every finite, non-empty set $A\subset \mathbb{C}$ such that $|A\cdot A| \leq K|A|$, one has $$ \begin{align*} & |F(A, \dots, A)| \gg |A|^{n} 2^{-O_{d,n}((\log 2K)^{3 + o(1)})}. …”

What is that I hear? An interdisciplinary review and research agenda for non‐native accents in the workplace by Hideg, I, Shen, W, Hancock, S

“…Second, we organize and integrate extant research findings using a 2 × 2 framework that incorporates the two main theoretical perspectives used to explain the effects of accents—stereotypes and processing fluency—and the two primary categories of workplace outcomes examined—interpersonal (i.e., others' evaluations of speakers with non-native accents, such as hiring recommendations) and intrapersonal (i.e., non-native-accented speakers' own evaluations and experiences, such as sense of belonging). …”

Heights via anabelian geometry and local Bloch-Kato Selmer sets by Betts, L

“…To this end, we present three main theorems giving such a description in terms of the Q_l and Q_p-pro-unipotent etale realisations when the base field is p-adic, and in terms of the R-pro-unipotent Betti–de Rham realisation when the base field is archimedean.…”

Glass box and black box machine learning approaches to exploit compositional descriptors of molecules in drug discovery and aid the medicinal chemist by Robson, B, Cooper, R

“…These points are demonstrated by blind test comparison of two main types of BB methods and a probabilistic “Glass Box” (GB) method new outside of medicine, but which appears well suited to the above. …”

Effect of Co on twin formation and magnetic properties of Sm(Fe,Ti,V)12 alloys by Tozman, P, Hrkac, G, Patrick, CE, Staunton, JB, Saito, T, Sasaki, T, Ohkubo, T, Sepehri-Amin, H

“…<p>Transferring the excellent intrinsic magnetic properties of SmFe₁₂-based compounds to their extrinsic properties remains the main challenge in the development of high-performance SmFe₁₂-based permanent magnets. …”

Universal D-modules, and factorisation structures on Hilbert schemes of points by Cliff, E

“…We begin the chapter with an overview of the theory of factorisation and chiral algebras, before introducing our main constructions. We compute the chiral homology of our factorisation algebra, and show that the 𝒟-modules underlying the corresponding chiral algebras form a universal 𝒟-module of dimension 𝑛.…”

Multi-objective grey wolf optimizer algorithm for task scheduling in cloud-fog computing by Saif, Faten A., Latip, Rohaya, Hanapi, Zurina Mohd, Shafinah, Kamarudin

“…Still, it increases the energy consumption of the end users, while transferring tasks to the cloud reduces users’ energy consumption but increases the transmission delay due to the long distance; besides, assigning tasks to appropriate resources compatible with task requirements. These are the main challenges in cloudfog computing that need to improve. …”
