HST Observations of IP Pegasi in Quiescence: The Pre-Eclipse Spectrum [PDF]
, 1997 We present time-resolved HST UV spectroscopy and ground-based optical photometry of the dwarf nova IP Peg in a quiescent state. The observations were obtained prior to an eclipse, when the bright spot caused by the impact of the accretion stream with the edge of the disk dominates the light output.

AP-10K: A Benchmark for Animal Pose Estimation in the Wild [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Accurate animal pose estimation is an essential step towards understanding animal behavior, and can potentially benefit many downstream applications, such as wildlife conservation. Previous works only focus on specific animals while ignoring the diversity of animal species, limiting the generalization ability.

Carbon Emissions, Firm‐Level Climate Change Exposure, and Corporate Cash Reserves
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines the relationships between carbon emissions, firm‐level climate change exposure, and corporate cash reserves, with a focus on whether climate exposure mediates the link between carbon emissions and cash holdings. Using a dataset of 15,889 firm‐year observations from 2,537 firms across 51 countries during the period 2002 to ...

The promise of behavioral tracking systems for advancing primate animal welfare [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Recent years have witnessed major advances in the ability of computerized systems to track the positions of animals as they move through large and unconstrained environments. These systems have so far been a great boon in the fields of primatology, psychology, neuroscience, and biomedicine.

Human Resource Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study explores quiet quitting—a distinct form of workplace withdrawal—in the Greek context, adopting a multilevel approach to understand how cultural, institutional and individual factors shape this emerging phenomenon. Drawing upon relevant literature, we investigate the macro, meso‐organizational, and micro‐individual level factors that

Probabilistic models of individual and collective animal behavior [PDF]
, 2017 Recent developments in automated tracking allow uninterrupted, high-resolution recording of animal trajectories, sometimes coupled with the identification of stereotyped changes of body pose or other behaviors of interest. Analysis and interpretation of such data represents a challenge: the timing of animal behaviors may be stochastic and modulated by ...

Corporate cash policy and double machine learning
International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.Abstract We are the first to explore the role of firm‐level drivers in corporate cash policy applying cutting‐edge double machine learning technique. We identify tangibility of assets and R&D spending as two main driving forces behind the cash increase when they are considered both independently and jointly.

Simulating how animals learn: a new modelling framework applied to the process of optimal foraging [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Animal learning has interested ecologists and psychologists for over a century. Mathematical models that explain how animals store and recall information have gained attention recently. Central to this work is statistical decision theory (SDT), which relates information uptake in animals to Bayesian inference.

Political Environment, Banking Liquidity, and Banking Crises: A Mediation Analysis From Panel Data
International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The objective of this paper is twofold. (i) First, we examine whether the political environment affect bank liquidity. (ii) Then, we investigate whether the political environment's impact on banking crises is mediated through bank liquidity.

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Banks within the MENA regions serve as pivotal agents in fostering economic growth through extensive lending to businesses, individuals and corporations, thereby amplifying employment within the banking sector. A pressing concern affecting these banks is the proliferation of NPLs, which not only diminishes net earnings but also escalates ...
