General circulation models simulate negative liquid water path–droplet number correlations, but anthropogenic aerosols still increase simulated liquid water path by Mülmenstädt, J, Gryspeerdt, E, Dipu, S, Quaas, J, Ackerman, AS, Fridlind, AM, Tornow, F, Bauer, SE, Gettelman, A, Ming, Y, Zheng, Y, Ma, P-L, Wang, H, Zhang, K, Christensen, MW, Varble, AC, Leung, LR, Liu, X, Neubauer, D, Partridge, DG, Stier, P, Takemura, T

“…These results are a reminder that assessments of climate parameters based on multiple lines of evidence must carefully consider the complementary strengths of different lines when the lines disagree.…”

Threshold for Steiner triple systems by Sah, Ashwin, Sawhney, Mehtaab, Simkin, Michael

“…Abstract We prove that with high probability $$\mathbb {G}^{(3)}(n,n^{-1+o(1)})$$ G ( 3 ) ( n , n - 1 + o ( 1 ) ) contains a spanning Steiner triple system for $$n\equiv 1,3\pmod {6}$$ n ≡ 1 , 3 ( mod 6 ) , establishing the exponent for the threshold probability for existence of a Steiner triple system. …”

Effect of negative mood on working memory in 3 to 5 year old pre-schoolers. by Revathy Pachamuthu.

“…Preschoolers also engaged in the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT), Dimensional Change Card Sort (DCCS) and Digit and Block Span tasks. The findings did not give support to our main hypothesis, as results showed that there was no significant difference in reaction time between negative and neutral mood manipulated group in the SOPT, but additional insights were revealed.…”

Positive mood and working memory in young preschool children. by Tang, Mavis Yi Wen.

“…However, positive mood did not significantly affect children’s working memory span. These findings suggested that positive mood elicits an additional load on underlying executive processes (inhibition) in the service of working memory, decreasing cognitive resource capacity to devote to the task at hand.…”
