Oxygen and irradiance constraints on visual habitat in a changing ocean: The luminoxyscape

What have we learned from OpenReview?

Anonymous peer review is used by the great majority of computer science conferences. OpenReview is such a platform that aims to promote openness in peer review process. The paper, (meta) reviews, rebuttals, and final decisions are all released to public. We collect 11,915 submissions and their 41,276 reviews from the OpenReview platform. We also collect these submissions’ citation data from Google Scholar and their non-peer-reviewed versions from arXiv.org. By acquiring deep insights into these data, we have several interesting findings that could help understand the effectiveness of the public-accessible double-blind peer review process. Our results can potentially help writing a paper, reviewing it, and deciding on its acceptance.

Gradient flows and randomised thresholding: sparse inversion and classification* *The author thanks the anonymous reviewers for their helpful remarks.

Sparse inversion and classification problems are ubiquitous in modern data science and imaging. They are often formulated as non-smooth minimisation problems. In sparse inversion, we minimise, e.g., the sum of a data fidelity term and an L1/LASSO regulariser. In classification, we consider, e.g., the sum of a data fidelity term and a non-smooth Ginzburg–Landau energy. Standard (sub)gradient descent methods have shown to be inefficient when approaching such problems. Splitting techniques are much more useful: here, the target function is partitioned into a sum of two subtarget functions—each of which can be efficiently optimised. Splitting proceeds by performing optimisation steps alternately with respect to each of the two subtarget functions. In this work, we study splitting from a stochastic continuous-time perspective. Indeed, we define a differential inclusion that follows one of the two subtarget function’s negative subdifferential at each point in time. The choice of the subtarget function is controlled by a binary continuous-time Markov process. The resulting dynamical system is a stochastic approximation of the underlying subgradient flow. We investigate this stochastic approximation for an L1-regularised sparse inversion flow and for a discrete Allen–Cahn equation minimising a Ginzburg–Landau energy. In both cases, we study the longtime behaviour of the stochastic dynamical system and its ability to approximate the underlying subgradient flow at any accuracy. We illustrate our theoretical findings in a simple sparse estimation problem and also in low- and high-dimensional classification problems.

Preface

This volume of the Journal of Physics: Conference Series contains proceedings of the jubilee XXV Fluid Mechanics Conference (FMC2022) https://www.fmc2022.prz.edu.pl/, which was organized by the Rzeszow University of Technology (Poland) under the auspices of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Committee of Mechanics. All submitted papers in this volume have been reviewed and approved by anonymous reviewers, eminent specialists in fluid mechanics, whose names are listed later in the Preface.This Conference, hold in Rzeszow, was the twenty-fifth in the series started forty-eight years ago (1974) in Jaszowiec, Poland. Meetings, the idea of which is to create a forum for discussing the latest results and experiences in the field of fluid mechanics, are held in Poland and are organized every two years by a Polish university under the auspices of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Committee of Mechanics.List of Acknowledgments, FMC 2022 International Scientific Committee are available in this pdf.

Special Monographic Issue on the History of Human Anatomy and the Anatomical Bases of Palaeopathology

It is our distinguished pleasure to introduce this special monographic issue of the Italian Journal of Anatomy and Embryology dedicated to the topics of the history of the anatomical sciences and the morphological bases of palaeopathological studies. These two branches of human anatomy, though deemed interesting and relevant to the field by a large number of scholars worldwide, are too often neglected or not developed into a self-standing, productive field of research and teaching, especially in Italy. This is particularly sad and detrimental if one considers that human anatomy was reborn in Italy after centuries of intellectual stagnation first at Bologna thanks to the teaching of the Mediaeval scholar Mondino de’ Liuzzi and later, during the Renaissance, owing to the interest showed by artists in the correct representation of human morphology and bodily proportions. 
 This shows how rediscovering the discipline’s history inevitably leads its students to the realisation of the existence of an interplay between the figurative arts and the study of the human body, a bond which until the late 19th century was perceived as evident, self-explanatory and indissoluble. Moreover, it was precisely in that century that, from the anatomical discipline and its sub-branch osteology, stemmed biological anthropology, a subject which, now greatly enriched by biomolecular studies and by the assessment of mummified human remains, can help us discover the antiquity of humankind, its evolution as much as that of the diseases that characterised its historical path, a field traditionally called “palaeopathology”. 
 In this collection of contributions encompassing all of the aforementioned areas of research and anatomical knowledge, we aim to stimulate our colleagues and students to rediscover the importance of these topics and to develop them into a higher research platform capable of bridging the so-called hard biomedical sciences and the humanities. 
 Finally, we would like to express our deepest gratitude to Professor Domenico Ribatti, the journal’s editorial board and the Società Italiana di Anatomia e Istologia for kindly accepting our proposal and for the invaluable support they gave us throughout the editorial process. In addition, we would like to thank all the contributors and anonymous reviewers who have made this issue possible.

Do women mind the non-GAAP? Board gender diversity and non-GAAP disclosure quality

We examine whether board gender diversity promotes high-quality non-GAAP disclosures. Specifically, we use two recently-developed measures that capture key characteristics of financial reporting quality, namely consistency and comparability in non-GAAP reporting. We find that gender-diverse boards are more effective at ensuring both consistency and comparability of non-GAAP earnings disclosures. Our results will help investors to understand the information communicated by non-GAAP reporting. They also will guide standard-setters and regulators as they determine standards and guidelines that lead to better outcomes for investors.

Анонимная рецензия на Стихотворения А.С. Хомякова: Аполлон Григорьев или Ф.М. Достоевский?

This article reconsiders the vexed question of the authorship of the anonymous review (published in the journal Vremia, 1861) of the book Poems by A.S. Khomyakov. The review dealt not only with Khomyakov’s poems but also with his oeuvre as a whole, including his theological works. Inductive logic was applied to the task of resolving the text’s attribution, as a comparison of the respective likelihoods (conditional probabilities) of two alternative hypotheses: authorship by either Apollon Grigoriev or Fedor Dostoevsky. The author of the review speaks about Khomyakov’s theological brochures and tragedy Ermak with the same opinions and even almost the same wording as Grigoriev does in other texts of the same period. No similar opinions appear in texts belonging to Dostoevsky, even though Dostoevsky’s interest in Khomyakov’s journalism (but not his theology) is documented from the early 1860s. There are no grounds for speaking of any theological influence by Khomyakov on Dostoevsky in the 1860s (unlike in Dostoevsky’s last years). The conclusion by Boris F. Egorov that the author was Grigoriev is confirmed, whereas Vladimir N. Zakharov’s arguments for the authorship of Dostoevsky are disproved.
