Polymorphism of the trehalase gene (TREH) in native populations of Siberia by B. A. Malyarchuk, M. V. Derenko

“…The maximum frequency of this group of haplotypes is observed in the samples of native populations of Northeast Asia (about 60 %), in the remaining samples of the Siberian populations, its frequency is 30–40 %. Thus, the high frequency of variant rs2276064­A, associated with a low­activity trehalase, explains why Northern aboriginal peoples avoid food containing trehalose. …”

VALUE RELEVANCE OF FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY INFORMATION OF NIGERIAN NON-FINANCIAL FIRMS by Aliyu Baba Usman, Ndagi Salihu, Isah Ibrahim, Shuaibu Bawa Wuse

“… Switch from Statement of Accounting Standard (SAS) to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in Nigeria requires reporting entities to mark-to-market financial assets and liabilities and to recognise holding gains and losses as items of other comprehensive income. The objective of this study is to examine the value relevance of fair value hierarchy information. …”

Conformal line defects at finite temperature by Julien Barrat, Bartomeu Fiol, Enrico Marchetto, Alessio Miscioscia, Elli Pomoni

“…Although several symmetries of the conformal group are broken, the model can still be highly constrained from its features at zero temperature. In this work we show that the defect and bulk one and two-point correlators can be written as functions of zero-temperature data and thermal one-point functions (defect and bulk). …”

Quantitative Characterization of Full-Spectrum Pore Size and Connectivity for Shale with Different Sedimentary Facies from the Dongying Depression, Bohai Bay Basin, East China by Yushan Du, Na Yin, Qinhong Hu, Mianmo Meng, Xiuchuan Zhu, Jing Chao, Cunfei Ma

“…Pores in these four facies are mainly at nanoscales with predominant pore-throat diameters at less than 50 nm; however, the “high TOC laminated clayey marlstone” facies has the largest peak in the range of >1 μm, possibly because of its interlaminar structure and microcracks. The spontaneous imbibition experiments using two distinct fluids indicated that all of four facies have a much better pore connectivity towards the hydrophilic fluid than these experienced by the hydrophobic fluid.…”
