TL;DR: It is inferred that the primary black hole mass lies within the gap produced by (pulsational) pair-instability supernova processes, with only a 0.32% probability of being below 65 M⊙, which can be considered an intermediate mass black hole (IMBH).
Abstract: On May 21, 2019 at 03:02:29 UTC Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo observed a short duration gravitational-wave signal, GW190521, with a three-detector network signal-to-noise ratio of 14.7, and an estimated false-alarm rate of 1 in 4900 yr using a search sensitive to generic transients. If GW190521 is from a quasicircular binary inspiral, then the detected signal is consistent with the merger of two black holes with masses of 85_{-14}^{+21} M_{⊙} and 66_{-18}^{+17} M_{⊙} (90% credible intervals). We infer that the primary black hole mass lies within the gap produced by (pulsational) pair-instability supernova processes, with only a 0.32% probability of being below 65 M_{⊙}. We calculate the mass of the remnant to be 142_{-16}^{+28} M_{⊙}, which can be considered an intermediate mass black hole (IMBH). The luminosity distance of the source is 5.3_{-2.6}^{+2.4} Gpc, corresponding to a redshift of 0.82_{-0.34}^{+0.28}. The inferred rate of mergers similar to GW190521 is 0.13_{-0.11}^{+0.30} Gpc^{-3} yr^{-1}.

TL;DR: This article examined the empirical evidence for an inverse U-shaped relationship between emigration and inequality in rural sending communities in Mexico and found that the overall impact of migration is to reduce inequality across communities with relatively high levels of past migration.

TL;DR: Loneliness and friendship were examined in high-functioning children with autism and typically developing children equated with the autistic children for IQ, CA, gender, mother's education, and ethnicity, suggesting less understanding of the relation between loneliness and friendship.
Abstract: Loneliness and friendship were examined in 22 high-functioning children with autism and 19 typically developing children equated with the autistic children for IQ, CA, gender, mother's education, and ethnicity. Children between the ages of 8 and 14 were asked to report on both their understanding and feelings of loneliness and the quality of their friendship. Compared to typically developing children, children with autism were both lonelier and had less complete understandings of loneliness. Although all children with autism reported having at least one friend, the quality of their friendships was poorer in terms of companionship, security, and help. Fewer associations were found between loneliness and friendship for the autistic than for the non-autistic children, suggesting less understanding of the relation between loneliness and friendship. Implications of these results are discussed for conceptualizing the social deficits in autism.

TL;DR: In this article, scaling theories and numerical simulations are used to describe diffusion processes on percolation systems and fractals, and different types of disordered systems exhibiting anomalous diffusion are presented.
Abstract: Diffusion in disordered systems does not follow the classical laws which describe transport in ordered crystalline media, and this leads to many anomalous physical properties. Since the application of percolation theory, the main advances in the understanding of these processes have come from fractal theory. Scaling theories and numerical simulations are important tools to describe diffusion processes (random walks: the 'ant in the labyrinth') on percolation systems and fractals. Different types of disordered systems exhibiting anomalous diffusion are presented (the incipient infinite percolation cluster, diffusion-limited aggregation clusters, lattice animals, and random combs), and scaling theories as well as numerical simulations of greater sophistication are described. Also, diffusion in the presence of singular distributions of transition rates is discussed and related to anomalous diffusion on disordered structures.

TL;DR: A combination of electron lifetime measurement in nanoparticles as a function of the Fermi level position at high resolution in the potential scale with a new model to describe this dependence provides a powerful tool to study the microscopic processes and parameters governing recombination in dye-sensitized solar cells.
Abstract: A combination of electron lifetime measurement in nanoparticles as a function of the Fermi level position at high resolution in the potential scale with a new model to describe this dependence provides a powerful tool to study the microscopic processes and parameters governing recombination in dye-sensitized solar cells. This model predicts a behavior divided in three domains for the electron lifetime dependence on open-circuit voltage that is in excellent agreement with the experimental results: a constant lifetime at high photovoltage, related to free electrons; an exponential increase due to internal trapping and detrapping and an inverted parabolla at low photovoltage that corresponds to the density of levels of acceptor electrolyte species, including the Marcus inverted region.
