TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the presence of a large component of advective heat transfer and anomalously high basal heat flow during metamorphism is required to generate low pressure metamorphic belts.

TL;DR: This review describes several distinct lines of evidence which converge on the general hypothesis that circadian timing systems consist of multiple circadian oscillators, coordinated by both hierarchical and non-hierarchical coupling relationships.

TL;DR: A working group on Greenland Ice Sheet-Ocean Interactions (GRISO), composed of representatives from the multiple disciplines involved, was established in January 2011 to develop strategies to address dynamic response of Greenland's glaciers to climate forcing as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: A working group on Greenland Ice Sheet-Ocean Interactions (GRISO), composed of representatives from the multiple disciplines involved, was established in January 2011 to develop strategies to address dynamic response of Greenland's glaciers to climate forcing. Critical aspects of Greenland's coupled ice sheet-ocean system are identified, and a research agenda is outlined that will yield fundamental insights into how the ice sheet and ocean interact, their role in Earth's climate system, their regional and global effects, and probable trajectories of future changes. Key elements of the research agenda are focused process studies, sustained observational efforts at key sites, and inclusion of the relevant dynamics in Earth system models. Interdisciplinary and multiagency efforts, as well as international cooperation, are crucial to making progress on this novel and complex problem. This will prove as a significant step toward fulfilling the goal of credibly projecting sea level rise over the coming decades and century.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply the GMM regression estimation approach to a matched sample of French firms listed on Euronext Paris during the period 2001-2010 in order to investigate the relationship between female directors and earnings management by considering their specific (statutory and demographic) attributes.
Abstract: We apply the system GMM regression estimation approach to a matched sample of French firms listed on Euronext Paris during the period 2001–2010 in order to investigate the relationship between female directors and earnings management by considering their specific (statutory and demographic) attributes. We first find that the presence of female directors deters managers from managing earnings. However, this finding does not hold when the statutory and demographic attributes of female directors are taken into account, thus showing that the detection and the correction of earnings management require particular competencies and skills. Interestingly, we find that business expertise and audit committee membership are key attributes of female directors that promote the effective monitoring of earnings management. An important implication of our findings is that the decision to appoint women on corporate boards should be based more on their statutory and demographic attributes than on blind implementation of gender quotas. Finally, our supplementary analysis reveals that female CEOs and CFOs are strongly inclined to reduce earnings management.

TL;DR: The observed ability of dapsone to inhibit neutrophil chemotaxis under agarose to FMLP and interleukin-8 may also be explained by interference with integrin-mediated adherence required for motility in this assay system.
