The effect of China's weak institutional environment on the quality of Big 4 audits by Ke, Bin, Lennox, Clive S., Xin, Qingquan

“…This study examines whether China's weak institutional environment results in lower-quality audits by the Big 4 firms. We find that the Big 4 assign their less experienced partners to companies that are listed only in China compared with clients cross-listed in Hong Kong. …”

Exogenous shocks and exchange rate regimes by Chia, Wai-Mun, Cheng, Tianyin, Li, Mengling

“…From both the theoretical model and empirical evidence, we find that (i) output responses to terms-of-trade and foreign interest rate shocks are smoother in floats, (ii) price responses to terms-of-trade shocks are smoother in floats than in pegs, while its responses to foreign interest shocks are more volatile in floats than in pegs, and (iii) the effects of terms-of-trade and foreign interest shocks are more prolonged under floats.…”

Unique composition and evolutionary histories of large low velocity provinces by Panton, J, Davies, JH, Koelemeijer, P, Myhill, R, Ritsema, J

“…Using simulations of 3-D global mantle circulation over the past 1 Gyr, we find that two antipodal LLVPs develop naturally as a consequence of Earth’s recent subduction history and the gravitational settling and stirring of SOC. …”

Competing pairing interactions responsible for the large upper critical field in a stoichiometric iron-based superconductor CaKFe4As4 by Bristow, M, Knafo, W, Reiss, P, Meier, W, Canfield, PC, Blundell, SJ, Coldea, AI

“…The upper critical fields are extremely large, reaching values close to ∼3 Tc at the lowest temperature, and the anisotropy decreases dramatically with temperature, leading to essentially isotropic superconductivity at 4.2K. We find that the temperature dependence of the upper critical field can be well described by a two-band model in the clean limit with band-coupling parameters favoring intraband over interband interactions. …”

Bank resolution mechanisms revisited: towards a new era of restructuring by Hryckiewicz, A, Kryg, N, Tsomocos, DP

“…We use a unique granular bank-level dataset from 22 advanced economies covering the 1992–2017 period. We find that bank recapitalization without debt resolution measures does not resolve bank distress. …”

Continent-wide drivers of spatial synchrony in breeding demographic structure across wild great tit populations by Woodman, JP, Vriend, SJG, Adriaensen, F, Cole, E, Evans, Park, JS, Firth, JA, Sheldon, B

“…Despite covariation with demographic structure, we do not find evidence for environmental variables influencing the scale of synchrony, except for beech masting. …”

Interns or workers? China's student labor regime by Chan, J, Pun, N, Selden, M

“…Based on fieldwork in Sichuan and Guangdong between 2011 and 2012 and follow-up interviews in 2014, as well as analysis of the Henan government's policies on internships, we find that the student labor regime has become integral to the capital-state relationship as a means to assure a lower cost and flexible labor supply for Foxconn and others. …”

Encephalization is not a universal macroevolutionary phenomenon in mammals but is associated with sociality by Shultz, S, Dunbar, R

“…We show that there is wide variation across groups in encephalization slopes across groups and that encephalization is not universal in mammals. We also find that temporal changes in brain size are not associated with allometric relationships between brain and body size. …”

Augmented reality application for chemical engineering unit operations by Gunawan, P, Kwan, J, Cai, Y, Yang, R

“…Despite having learned the concepts on how they work, students may find it difficult to comprehend and visualize what is going on inside a distillation column and how to connect various theories involved in the design and calculations. …”

Inferring structural variant cancer cell fraction by Cmero, M, Yuan, K, Ong, CS, Schröder, J, PCAWG Evolution and Heterogeneity Working Group, Corcoran, NM, Papenfuss, T, Hovens, CM, Markowetz, F, Macintyre, G, PCAWG Consortium

“…We assess performance using in silico mixtures of real samples, at known proportions, created from two clonal metastases from the same patient. We find that SVclone's performance is comparable to single-nucleotide variant-based methods, despite having an order of magnitude fewer data points. …”

One-dimensional sectors from the squashed three-sphere by Bomans, P, Pufu, S

“…For gauge theories with matter hypermultiplets, we use supersymmetric localization to derive an explicit description of the topological sector associated with the Higgs branch. Furthermore, we find that the dependence of the 1d correlation functions on the squashing parameter $\mathcal{b}$ can be removed after appropriate rescalings. …”
