TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an actualistic tectonic division and evolution of the North China Craton based on the Wilson Cycle and comparative analysis that uses a multi-disciplinary approach to define sutures, their ages, and the nature of the rocks between them, to determine their mode of formation and means of accretion or exhumation.

TL;DR: Foraging currencies based on average rates of energy gain often fail to predict observed behaviour when an animal must choose between a smaller, more immediate reward and a larger, more delayed reward as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the connections between bases and weaker structures in Banach spaces and their duals are investigated, and it is shown that every separable π-structures and finite dimensional Schauder decomposition has a basis.
Abstract: This is an investigation of the connections between bases and weaker structures in Banach spaces and their duals. It is proved, e.g., thatX has a basis ifX* does, and that ifX has a basis, thenX* has a basis provided thatX* is separable and satisfies Grothendieck’s approximation property; analogous results are obtained concerning π-structures and finite dimensional Schauder decompositions. The basic results are then applied to show that every separableℒ

space has a basis.

TL;DR: The authors apply the inverse design approach to identify and experimentally realize TaFeSb-based half Heuslers with high thermoelectric performance and demonstrate that the TaFe Sb- based half-Heuslers are highly promising for thermoelectedric power generation.
Abstract: Discovery of thermoelectric materials has long been realized by the Edisonian trial and error approach. However, recent progress in theoretical calculations, including the ability to predict structures of unknown phases along with their thermodynamic stability and functional properties, has enabled the so-called inverse design approach. Compared to the traditional materials discovery, the inverse design approach has the potential to substantially reduce the experimental efforts needed to identify promising compounds with target functionalities. By adopting this approach, here we have discovered several unreported half-Heusler compounds. Among them, the p-type TaFeSb-based half-Heusler demonstrates a record high ZT of ~1.52 at 973 K. Additionally, an ultrahigh average ZT of ~0.93 between 300 and 973 K is achieved. Such an extraordinary thermoelectric performance is further verified by the heat-to-electricity conversion efficiency measurement and a high efficiency of ~11.4% is obtained. Our work demonstrates that the TaFeSb-based half-Heuslers are highly promising for thermoelectric power generation. The discovery of thermodynamically stable thermoelectric materials for power generation has relied on empirical methods that were not effective. Here, the authors apply the inverse design approach to identify and experimentally realize TaFeSb-based half Heuslers with high thermoelectric performance.

TL;DR: This article reviewed six behavioral economics models that are useful to marketing, including sensitivity to reference points and loss aversion, social preferences toward outcomes of others, and preference for instant gratification, allowing decision makers to make mistakes, encounter limits on the depth of strategic thinking, and learn from feedback.
Abstract: Marketing is an applied science that tries to explain and influence how firms and consumers behave in markets. Marketing models are usually applications of standard economic theories, which rely on strong assumptions of rationality of consumers and firms. Behavioral economics explores the implications of the limits of rationality, with the goal of making economic theories more plausible by explaining and predicting behavior more accurately while maintaining formal power. This article reviews six behavioral economics models that are useful to marketing. Three models generalize standard preference structures to allow for sensitivity to reference points and loss aversion, social preferences toward outcomes of others, and preference for instant gratification. The other three models generalize the concept of game-theoretic equilibrium, allowing decision makers to make mistakes, encounter limits on the depth of strategic thinking, and equilibrate by learning from feedback. The authors also discuss a sp...
