TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present results from the most comprehensive compilation of Holocene peat soil properties with associated carbon and nitrogen accumulation rates for northern peatlands, which consists of 268 peat cores from 215 sites located north of 45°N.
Abstract: Here, we present results from the most comprehensive compilation of Holocene peat soil properties with associated carbon and nitrogen accumulation rates for northern peatlands. Our database consists of 268 peat cores from 215 sites located north of 45°N. It encompasses regions within which peat carbon data have only recently become available, such as the West Siberia Lowlands, the Hudson Bay Lowlands, Kamchatka in Far East Russia, and the Tibetan Plateau. For all northern peatlands, carbon content in organic matter was estimated at 42 ± 3% (standard deviation) for Sphagnum peat, 51 ± 2% for non-Sphagnum peat, and at 49 ± 2% overall. Dry bulk density averaged 0.12 ± 0.07 g/cm3, organic matter bulk density averaged 0.11 ± 0.05 g/cm3, and total carbon content in peat averaged 47 ± 6%. In general, large differences were found between Sphagnum and non-Sphagnum peat types in terms of peat properties. Time-weighted peat carbon accumulation rates averaged 23 ± 2 (standard error of mean) g C/m2/yr during the Holocene on the basis of 151 peat cores from 127 sites, with the highest rates of carbon accumulation (25-28 g C/m2/yr) recorded during the early Holocene when the climate was

TL;DR: In this article, a simple analytical structure in which state capacities are modeled as forward looking investments by government is presented, and the authors link these state capacity investments to patterns of development and growth.
Abstract: The absence of state capacities to raise revenue and to support markets is a key factor in explaining the persistence of weak states. This paper reports on an ongoing project to investigate the incentive to invest in such capacities. The paper sets out a simple analytical structure in which state capacities are modeled as forward looking investments by government. The approach highlights some determinants of state building including the risk of external or internal conflict, the degree of political instability, and dependence on natural resources. Throughout, we link these state capacity investments to patterns of development and growth.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors established the physical association of an electromagnetic counterpart EM170817 to gravitational waves (GW 170817) detected from merging neutron stars by synthesizing a panchromatic dataset.
Abstract: Merging neutron stars offer an exquisite laboratory for simultaneously studying strong-field gravity and matter in extreme environments. We establish the physical association of an electromagnetic counterpart EM170817 to gravitational waves (GW170817) detected from merging neutron stars. By synthesizing a panchromatic dataset, we demonstrate that merging neutron stars are a long-sought production site forging heavy elements by r-process nucleosynthesis. The weak gamma-rays seen in EM170817 are dissimilar to classical short gamma-ray bursts with ultra-relativistic jets. Instead, we suggest that breakout of a wide-angle, mildly-relativistic cocoon engulfing the jet elegantly explains the low-luminosity gamma-rays, the high-luminosity ultraviolet-optical-infrared and the delayed radio/X-ray emission. We posit that all merging neutron stars may lead to a wide-angle cocoon breakout; sometimes accompanied by a successful jet and sometimes a choked jet.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived the strongest bounds in the literature on the sum of the three active neutrino masses, within the assumption of a background flat CDM cosmology.
Abstract: Using some of the latest cosmological data sets publicly available, we derive the strongest bounds in the literature on the sum of the three active neutrino masses, ${M}_{\ensuremath{ u}}$, within the assumption of a background flat $\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}\mathrm{CDM}$ cosmology. In the most conservative scheme, combining Planck cosmic microwave background temperature anisotropies and baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) data, as well as the up-to-date constraint on the optical depth to reionization ($\ensuremath{\tau}$), the tightest 95% confidence level upper bound we find is ${M}_{\ensuremath{ u}}l0.151\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{eV}$. The addition of Planck high-$\ensuremath{\ell}$ polarization data, which, however, might still be contaminated by systematics, further tightens the bound to ${M}_{\ensuremath{ u}}l0.118\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{eV}$. A proper model comparison treatment shows that the two aforementioned combinations disfavor the inverted hierarchy at $\ensuremath{\sim}64%\text{ }\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{C}.\mathrm{L}.$ and $\ensuremath{\sim}71%\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{C}.\mathrm{L}.$, respectively. In addition, we compare the constraining power of measurements of the full-shape galaxy power spectrum versus the BAO signature, from the BOSS survey. Even though the latest BOSS full-shape measurements cover a larger volume and benefit from smaller error bars compared to previous similar measurements, the analysis method commonly adopted results in their constraining power still being less powerful than that of the extracted BAO signal. Our work uses only cosmological data; imposing the constraint ${M}_{\ensuremath{ u}}g0.06\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{eV}$ from oscillations data would raise the quoted upper bounds by $\mathcal{O}(0.1\ensuremath{\sigma})$ and would not affect our conclusions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented an updated global fit of neutrino oscillation data in the simplest three-neutrino framework, which showed a strong preference for the normal neutrinos mass ordering with 25σ statistical significance.
Abstract: We present an updated global fit of neutrino oscillation data in the simplest three-neutrino framework In the present study we include up-to-date analyses from a number of experiments Concerning the atmospheric and solar sectors, besides the data considered previously, we give updated analyses of IceCube DeepCore and Sudbury Neutrino Observatory data, respectively We have also included the latest electron antineutrino data collected by the Daya Bay and RENO reactor experiments, and the long-baseline T2K and NOνA measurements, as reported in the Neutrino 2020 conference All in all, these new analyses result in more accurate measurements of θ13, θ12, $$ \Delta {m}_{21}^2 $$ and $$ \left|\Delta {m}_{31}^2\right| $$ The best fit value for the atmospheric angle θ23 lies in the second octant, but first octant solutions remain allowed at ∼ 24σ Regarding CP violation measurements, the preferred value of δ we obtain is 108π (158π) for normal (inverted) neutrino mass ordering The global analysis still prefers normal neutrino mass ordering with 25σ statistical significance This preference is milder than the one found in previous global analyses These new results should be regarded as robust due to the agreement found between our Bayesian and frequentist approaches Taking into account only oscillation data, there is a weak/moderate preference for the normal neutrino mass ordering of 200σ While adding neutrinoless double beta decay from the latest Gerda, CUORE and KamLAND-Zen results barely modifies this picture, cosmological measurements raise the preference to 268σ within a conservative approach A more aggressive data set combination of cosmological observations leads to a similar preference for normal with respect to inverted mass ordering, namely 270σ This very same cosmological data set provides 2σ upper limits on the total neutrino mass corresponding to Σmν < 012 (015) eV in the normal (inverted) neutrino mass ordering scenario The bounds on the neutrino mixing parameters and masses presented in this up-to-date global fit analysis include all currently available neutrino physics inputs
