DNA Polymerization in Icy Moon Abyssal Pressure Conditions
AstrobiologyEvidence of stable liquid water oceans beneath the ice crust of moons within the Solar System is of great interest for astrobiology. In particular, subglacial oceans may present hydrothermal processes in their abysses, similarly to terrestrial hydrothermal vents.

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The light climate at high latitudes, in particular the extended twilight of winter and the reduced diel variation in light level in midsummer and midwinter, potentially constrains visual function and the synchronisation of temporal organisation in polar species. In this

The Potato Radius: a Lower Minimum Size for Dwarf Planets [PDF]
arXiv, 2010 Gravitational and electronic forces produce a correlation between the mass and shape of objects in the universe. For example, at an average radius of ~ 200 km - 300 km, the icy moons and rocky asteroids of our Solar System transition from a rounded potato shape to a sphere. We derive this potato-to-sphere transition radius -- or "potato radius" -- from

Transactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.Abstract Ancient Maya texts are informationally dominated by hieroglyphic inscriptions and visually dominated by figural art with distinctly formed hands. The hands suggest iconographically embedded hand signs, which would constitute a unique modality of semantic expression and a discourse complement to hieroglyphic writing.

Water ice lines and the formation of giant moons around super-Jovian planets [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 Most of the exoplanets with known masses at Earth-like distances to Sun-like stars are heavier than Jupiter, which raises the question of whether such planets are accompanied by detectable, possibly habitable moons. Here we simulate the accretion disks around super-Jovian planets and find that giant moons with masses similar to Mars can form.

Are auditors insulated to positive client news? Evidence from audit fees and going‐concern opinions
Accounting &Finance, EarlyView.Abstract This paper investigates if and how auditors consider positive news, related to their clients, when making audit decisions. Using a large sample of US listed companies, we find that auditors charge lower audit fees and are less likely to issue going‐concern opinions when there are a higher number of positive news items related to their clients.
