Mixed motives and linear forms in the Catalan constant
Abstract We first give a geometric construction of a two‐dimensional mixed motive over Q${\mathbb {Q}}$ with the Catalan constant G=1−1/32+1/52−1/72+⋯${\mathbf {G}}=1-1/3^2+1/5^2-1/7^2+\cdots$ as a period. We then use this motive to obtain a supply of linear forms in 1 and G${\mathbf {G}}$.

The Dentition of the Aurignacian Mandible Les Rois 2, France: New Data and Taxonomic Reassessment
ABSTRACT Objective This study provides new dental phenotypic data on the Aurignacian mandible Les Rois 2 (southwestern France). A former study of its dental morphology concluded that its taxonomic assignment to either Homo sapiens or Homo neanderthalensis was “uncertain” and could reflect a recent Neanderthal ancestry of this specimen.

Visibility and Intersection Density for Boolean Models in Hyperbolic Space
ABSTRACT For Poisson particle processes in hyperbolic space we introduce and study concepts analogous to the intersection density and the mean visible volume, which were originally considered in the analysis of Boolean models in Euclidean space. In particular, we determine a necessary and sufficient condition for the finiteness of the mean visible ...

Abstract The slab breakoff model is a preferred geodynamic interpretation for post‐collisional exhumation and associated magmatic flare‐ups. In this study, rutile U–Pb dating of retrograde eclogites revealed distinct stages of exhumation along the Paleo‐Tethyan sutures in southwest China. The studied samples yielded ages of 246.7 ± 8.5 and 239.7 ± 14.0

Abstract Same‐dip double subduction (SDDS), in which two parallel slabs dip in the same direction, has been linked to accelerated plate motion in both modern and ancient convergent systems, such as the Late Cretaceous Africa–Eurasia system. Yet a systematic framework for quantifying how SDDS alters plate kinematics in a large‐scale spherical geometry ...

This work develops three surface‐driven nanoscale models for the diffraction‐derived lattice parameter, Debye–Waller coefficient and microstrain, clarifying why their size dependences are not equally universal. Atomistic simulations and literature data show that lattice parameter trends depend strongly on capillarity, chemistry and defects, whereas the

ABSTRACT News media plays an integral role in facilitating public discourse, influencing attitudes and shaping policy decisions on drugs. Negative, sensationalist or inaccurate media coverage of drugs can lead to negative or stigmatising attitudes towards people who use drugs or who are associated with drugs. This can and should be changed.

A Conditional Tail Expectation Type Risk Measure for Time Series
ABSTRACT We consider the estimation of the conditional expectation 𝔼(Xh|X0>UX(1/p)), provided 𝔼|X0|<∞, at extreme levels, where (Xt)t∈ℤ$$ {\left({X}_t\right)}_{t\in \mathbb{Z}} $$ is a strictly stationary time series, UX$$ {U}_X $$ its tail quantile function, h$$ h $$ is a positive integer and p∈(0,1)$$ p\in \left(0,1\right) $$ is such that p→0$$ p\to ...

ABSTRACT I discuss conditions under which maximizing a proxy utility function is harmful and suggest this poses problems for applying decision theory.

Repelled Point Processes With Application to Numerical Integration
ABSTRACT We look at Monte Carlo numerical integration from a stochastic geometry point of view. While crude Monte Carlo estimators relate to linear statistics of a homogeneous Poisson point process (PPP), linear statistics of more regularly spread point processes can yield unbiased estimators with faster‐decaying variance, and thus lower integration ...
