DETERMINANTS OF AUDIT REPORT LAG OF VIETNAMESE LISTED FIRMS by Nguyễn Thanh Hồng Ân, Hoàng Mai Phương

“…Contrary to previous literature, the Vietnamese listed firms which are audited by high-quality auditors usually have longer audit report lag, while the firms with large amount of total accruals generally have shorter audit report lag. A robust test is performed, where the regression equation is re-estimated using panel data estimation techniques with random effect model, and the results confirm the above conclusions.…”

Ultra-high electrostriction and ferroelectricity in poly (vinylidene fluoride) by ‘printing of charge’ throughout the film by Ningyi Zhang, Xiaobing Dong, Shihui He, Zhao Liang, Weipeng Li, Qihao Qian, Chao Jiang

“…Abstract Electrostriction is an important electro-mechanical property in poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) films, which describes the proportional relation between the electro-stimulated deformation and the square of the electric field. Generally, traditional methods to improve the electrostriction of PVDF either sacrifice other crystalline-related key properties or only influence minimal regions around the surface. …”

Mères et fils dans le théâtre de la Renaissance anglaise by Marie-Hélène Besnault

“…Seeking dialogues between mothers and sons as moving and dramatically efficient as the French “Quatre Requêtes de Notre-Dame” results in finding no significant verbal exchanges in English biblical drama, moralities, interludes, and even early tragedies. Mothers are generally reduced to deplorations of sons’ deaths. …”

Research on Pump Primers for Friction Reduction of Wet-Mix Shotcrete Based on Precreating Lubricating Layer by Guoming Liu, Lianjun Chen, Weimin Cheng, Yanan Huang

“…Wet-mix shotcrete has lower water content even though looking wet which is generally less than 8% of total content. The inner surface of pipes will absorb water from fresh concrete to wet itself if concrete pump primers is not pumped early; meanwhile, the saturated concrete is transformed into the unsaturated concrete, and pipe blockage often occurs. …”

Soft theorems for two-scalar sigma models by Karol Kampf, Jiri Novotny, Mikhail Shifman, Jaroslav Trnka

“…Inspired by the recent work on the 2D sigma models, we study one special two-scalar sigma model, where the presence of symmetries in the target space translates into a special but non-trivial soft theorem without derivatives. We further generalize the construction to two larger classes of such models and derive certain soft theorem sum rules, again avoiding the derivatives of amplitudes. …”
