Hunting and the social lives of Southern Africa’s first farmers by Jones, M, Kapumha, R, Chirikure, S, Marshall, F

“…Comparisons with earlier and contemporaneous forager and herder sites in southern and eastern Africa show that hunting for social and economic purposes characterized the spread of farming and rise of complex societies in southern Africa. The long-term cultural integration of wild animals into food-producing societies is unusual from a Global South perspective and warrants reappraisal of forager/farmer dichotomies in non-Western contexts.…”

A comparison of methods for forecasting value at risk and expected shortfall of cryptocurrencies by Trucíos, C, Taylor, JW

“…Several procedures to forecast daily risk measures in cryptocurrency markets have been recently implemented in the literature. Among them, long-memory processes, procedures taking into account the presence of extreme observations, procedures that include more than a single regime, and quantile regression-based models have performed substantially better than standard methods in terms of forecasting risk measures. …”

Naturalistic multimodal emotion data with deep learning can advance the theoretical understanding of emotion by Angkasirisan, T

“…This multimodal emotion framework has the potential to provide novel, nuanced insights into long-standing questions, such as whether emotion categories are innate or learned and whether emotions exhibit coherence or degeneracy, thereby refining emotion theories. …”

Monstrans de droit, petition of right, and liability for Crown debt by Getzler, J

“…A vested right to property was seen as a stronger claim than an action to enforce an executory or precatory obligation, and as such could be claimed by a summary version of the petition of right known as monstrans de droit, a demonstration or plea of right. Tort claims for long remained outside the system, as ‘the king could do no wrong’; hence trespassory remedies such as assumpsit were generally unavailable. …”

Strike a pose: tracking people by finding stylized poses by Ramanan, D, Forsyth, DA, Zisserman, A

“…We develop an algorithm for finding and kinematically tracking multiple people in long sequences. Our basic assumption is that people tend to take on certain canonical poses, even when performing unusual activities like throwing a baseball or figure skating. …”

Controversies in neurology: asymptomatic carotid stenosis—intervention or just stick to medical therapy. The argument for carotid endarterectomy by Hirt, L, Halliday, A

“…Carotid endarterectomy, on the other hand, has been shown to reduce the incidence of ipsilateral ischaemic stroke in both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients, with the benefits extending into the long-term. Carotid angioplasty and stenting is a newer technique with the benefit of being minimally invasive. …”

Dynamic linkages of Asian stock markets by Baharumshah, Ahmad Zubaidi, Sarmidi, Tamat, Tan, Hui Boon

“…This study examines the dynamic interrelationship among the major stock markets and in the four Asian markets (Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan and South Korea), both in the short run and in the long run. To investigate the impact of financial reforms and the Asian financial crisis on these markets, we split the sample into three sub-periods: pre-liberalization (1988-91), post-liberalization (1992-96) and post-crisis (1997-99) periods. …”

Is nitrogen present in Li3N·P2S5 solid electrolytes produced by ball milling? by Hartley, G, Jin, L, Bergner, B, Spencer Jolly, D, Rees, G, Zekoll, S, Ning, Z, Pateman, A, Holc, C, Adamson, P, Bruce, P

“…<p>Nitrogenous solid electrolytes such as lithium phosphorus oxynitride (LiPON) have effectual interfacial compatibility with lithium metal; in part, this has enabled the development of thin-film solid-state batteries with excellent long-term cycling performance. However, most known nitrogen-containing solid electrolytes lack the ionic conductivity required for high-power/high-capacity batteries; therefore, the development of new nitrogenous solid electrolytes with increased ionic conductivity is highly desirable. …”
