Do lemurs know when they could be wrong? An investigation of information seeking in three species of lemur (Lemur catta, Eulemur rubriventer, and Varecia variegata) [PDF]
Sixteen lemurs, including representatives from three species (Lemur catta, Eulemur rubriventer, Varecia variegata), were presented with a food seeking task where information about the rewards location, in one of two plastic tubes, was either known or not

The signature of river- and wind-borne materials exported from Patagonia to the southern latitudes: a view from REEs and implications for paleoclimatic interpretations [PDF]
Riverine and wind-borne materials transferred from Patagonia to the SW Atlantic exhibit a homogeneous rare earth element (REE) signature. They match well with the REE composition of Recent tephra from the Hudson volcano,and hence this implies a ...

A diffusion limit for a test particle in a random distribution of scatterers
We consider a point particle moving in a random distribution of obstacles described by a potential barrier. We show that, in a weak-coupling regime, under a diffusion limit suggested by the potential itself, the probability distribution of the particle ...

Donsker-Varadhan asymptotics for degenerate jump Markov processes [PDF]
We consider a class of continuous time Markov chains on a compact metric space that admit an invariant measure strictly positive on open sets together with absorbing states. We prove the joint large deviation principle for the empirical measure and flow.

QCD Universality recovered via the Total Available Quadri-Scalar: Atot
After presenting a brief review of the phenomenology of the Leading Effect, we define a new variable, the ``Total Available Quadri-Scalar'' (Atot), and propose it as the invariant quantity effectively available for the production of the multihadronic ...
