TL;DR: In this paper, the role of strains in the structural and electronic properties of graphene and other two-dimensional compounds is discussed. But the role is not restricted to graphene, and they are being intensively studied in other two dimensional materials, such as the metallic dichalcogenides.
Abstract: The analysis of the electronic properties of strained or lattice deformed graphene combines ideas from classical condensed matter physics, soft matter, and geometrical aspects of quantum field theory (QFT) in curved spaces. Recent theoretical and experimental work shows the influence of strains in many properties of graphene not considered before, such as electronic transport, spin-orbit coupling, the formation of Moire patterns, optics, ... There is also significant evidence of anharmonic effects, which can modify the structural properties of graphene. These phenomena are not restricted to graphene, and they are being intensively studied in other two dimensional materials, such as the metallic dichalcogenides. We review here recent developments related to the role of strains in the structural and electronic properties of graphene and other two dimensional compounds.

TL;DR: This paper used an instrumental variables estimator for quantile regression on a sample of twins to estimate an entire family of returns to education at different quantiles of the conditional distribution of wages while addressing simultaneity and measurement error biases.
Abstract: Considerable effort has been exercised in estimating mean returns to education while carefully considering biases arising from unmeasured ability and measurement error. Recent work has investigated whether there are variations from the “mean” return to education across the population with mixed results. We use an instrumental variables estimator for quantile regression on a sample of twins to estimate an entire family of returns to education at different quantiles of the conditional distribution of wages while addressing simultaneity and measurement error biases. We test whether there is individual heterogeneity in returns to education and find that: more able individuals obtain more schooling perhaps due to lower marginal costs and/or higher marginal benefits of schooling and that higher ability individuals (those further to the right in the conditional distribution of wages) have higher returns to schooling consistent with a non-trivial interaction between schooling and unobserved abilities in the generation of earnings. The estimated returns are never lower than 9 percent and can be as high as 13 percent at the top of the conditional distribution of wages but they vary significantly only along the lower to middle quantiles. Our findings may have meaningful implications for the design of educational policies.

TL;DR: The updated taxonomy of the order Bunyavirales now accepted by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) is presented.
Abstract: In February 2019, following the annual taxon ratification vote, the order Bunyavirales was amended by creation of two new families, four new subfamilies, 11 new genera and 77 new species, merging of two species, and deletion of one species. This article presents the updated taxonomy of the order Bunyavirales now accepted by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV).

TL;DR: In this article, a set of hydrodynamical models based on stellar evolutionary progenitors is used to study the nature of SN 2011dh, and it is shown that a large progenitor star with R {approx} 200 R{sub Sun }-is needed to reproduce the early light curve (LC) of SN2011dh.
Abstract: A set of hydrodynamical models based on stellar evolutionary progenitors is used to study the nature of SN 2011dh. Our modeling suggests that a large progenitor star-with R {approx} 200 R{sub Sun }-is needed to reproduce the early light curve (LC) of SN 2011dh. This is consistent with the suggestion that the yellow super-giant star detected at the location of the supernova (SN) in deep pre-explosion images is the progenitor star. From the main peak of the bolometric LC and expansion velocities, we constrain the mass of the ejecta to be Almost-Equal-To 2 M{sub Sun }, the explosion energy to be E = (6-10) Multiplication-Sign 10{sup 50} erg, and the {sup 56}Ni mass to be approximately 0.06 M{sub Sun }. The progenitor star was composed of a helium core of 3-4 M{sub Sun} and a thin hydrogen-rich envelope of Almost-Equal-To 0.1M{sub Sun} with a main-sequence mass estimated to be in the range of 12-15 M{sub Sun }. Our models rule out progenitors with helium-core masses larger than 8 M{sub Sun }, which correspond to M{sub ZAMS} {approx}> 25M{sub Sun }. This suggests that a single star evolutionary scenario for SN 2011dh is unlikely.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of amylose content of the starch, the type of plasticizer (glycerol and sorbitol), and the inclusion of antimicrobial agents on coating formulation were analyzed.
Abstract: Starch-based coatings were applied to extend storage life of strawberries (Fragaria × ananassa) stored at 0 °C and 84.8% relative humidity. The effects of amylose content of the starch, the type of plasticizer (glycerol and sorbitol), and the inclusion of antimicrobial agents on coating formulation were analyzed. Microstructure characterization of coatings was related to water vapor permeability (WVP) observations. Coatings made with starches with the higher amylose content decreased WVP and weight losses and retained fruit firmness for longer periods than coatings formulated with medium amylose content starches. Coatings with sorbitol showed lower WVPs than glycerol ones. Both sorbitol and glycerol reduced weight losses and maintained texture and surface color of fruits, with 20 g/L sorbitol being the most effective plasticizer option. Modifications of physiological parameters in strawberries such as anthocyanin content, reducing and nonreducing sugars, titratable acidity, and pH were slowed for coated f...
