Technosignatures Longevity and Lindy's Law

The probability of detecting technosignatures (i.e., evidence of technological activity beyond Earth) increases with their longevity, or the time interval over which they manifest. Therefore, the assumed distribution of longevities has some bearing on the ...

Thermal Conditions in Indoor Environments: Exploring the Reasoning behind Standard-Based Recommendations

Dolaana Khovalyg

Professionals in the building design and operation fields typically look at standards and guidelines as a reliable source of information and guidance with regard to procedural, contractual, and legal scope and requirements that are relevant to accountabili ...

Targeting the Progesterone Receptor in Breast Cancer: Mind the Short Form!

Cathrin Brisken, Carlos Henrique Venturi Ronchi

The presurgical window of opportunity trial (WOT) MIPRA provides evidence that neoadjuvant treatment with the prog-esterone receptor (PR) antagonist mifepristone (RU486) may benefit patients with estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer characterized ...

Search for dark photon decays to μ+μ- at NA62

Radoslav Marchevski, Alina Kleimenova

The NA62 experiment at CERN, designed to study the ultra-rare decay K+ -> pi(+) nu(nu) over bar, has also collected data in beam-dump mode. In this configuration, dark photons may be produced by protons dumped on an absorber and reach a decay volume beginn ...

Ricca's factors as mobile proteinaceous effectors of electrical signaling

Satyam Tiwari, Jian Wang

Leaf-feeding insects trigger high-amplitude, defense-inducing electrical signals called slow wave potentials (SWPs). These signals are thought to be triggered by the long-distance transport of low molecular mass elicitors termed Ricca's factors. We sought ...

Microscopic interplay of temperature and disorder of a one-dimensional elastic interface

Elisabeth Agoritsas, Thierry Giamarchi

Elastic interfaces display scale-invariant geometrical fluctuations at sufficiently large lengthscales. Their asymptotic static roughness then follows a power-law behavior, whose associated exponent provides a robust signature of the universality class to ...

Scale effects on efficiency and profitability in the Swiss banking sector

Andreas Fuster

This paper analyzes efficiency and profitability in the Swiss banking sector over the period 1997–2019. We find strong evidence for scale economies: for most banks in the sample, efficiency and profitability increase with bank size. Using an instrumental v ...

Emergence of robust self-organized undulatory swimming based on local hydrodynamic force sensing

Auke Ijspeert, Kamilo Andres Melo Becerra, Laura Isabel Paez Coy, Robin Thandiackal, Kyoichi Akiyama

Undulatory swimming represents an ideal behavior to investigate locomotion control and the role of the underlying central and peripheral components in the spinal cord. Many vertebrate swimmers have central pattern generators and local pressure-sensitive re ...

Human mortality at extreme age

Anthony Christopher Davison, Léo Raymond-Belzile

We use a combination of extreme value statistics, survival analysis and computer-intensive methods to analyse the mortality of Italian and French semi-supercentenarians. After accounting for the effects of the sampling frame, extreme-value modelling leads ...

Evidence of a coupled electron-phonon liquid in NbGe2

Mathieu François Padlewski, Matthias Carsten Putzke, Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Hao Yang

Whereas electron-phonon scattering relaxes the electron's momentum in metals, a perpetual exchange of momentum between phonons and electrons may conserve total momentum and lead to a coupled electron-phonon liquid. Such a phase of matter could be a platfor ...
