TL;DR: The finding of geographic differences points to two, not mutually exclusive causes: a virus mutation (D614G) may cause differing infectivity, while, at the host level, genetic, ethnicity-specific variants of the virus-binding entry proteins may facilitate virus entry in the olfactory epithelium and taste buds.
Abstract: A significant proportion of people who test positive for COVID-19 have chemosensory deficits. However, the reported prevalence of these deficits in smell and taste varies widely, and the reason for...

TL;DR: In this paper, high-resolution hydro simulations were conducted to find that winds from AGN effectively heat the inner parts of elliptical galaxies, reducing infall to the central SMBH and radiative (photoionization and X-ray) heating reduces cooling flows at the kpc scale.
Abstract: We find, from high-resolution hydro simulations, that winds from AGN effectively heat the inner parts (~100 pc) of elliptical galaxies, reducing infall to the central SMBH; and radiative (photoionization and X-ray) heating reduces cooling flows at the kpc scale. Including both types of feedback with (peak) efficiencies of 3 10^{-4} 1 and decline in frequency towards the present epoch as energy and metal rich gas are expelled from the galaxies into the surrounding medium. For a representative galaxy of final stellar mass ~3 10^{11} Msun, roughly 3 10^{10} Msun of recycled gas has been added to the ISM since z~2 and, of that, roughly 63% has been expelled from the galaxy, 19% has been converted into new metal rich stars in the central few hundred parsecs, and 2% has been added to the central SMBH, with the remaining 16% in the form hot X-ray emitting ISM. The bursts occupy a total time of ~170 Myr, which is roughly 1.4% of the available time. Of this time, the central SMBH would be seen as an UV or optical source for ~45% and ~71$% of the time, respectively. Restricting to the last 8.5 Gyr, the burst occupy ~44 Myr, corresponding to a fiducial duty-cycle of ~5 10^{-3}.

TL;DR: The need for an adequate behavioranalytic account of verbal events is perhaps felt the most among clinical radical behaviorists, and now, over 35 years later, Skinner's analysis ofverbal events has become increasingly threadbare, and holes have emerged.
Abstract: Behavior analysts have always intended to develop the principles adequate to the analysis ofcomplex human behavior. Unlike some other wings of the animal learning tradition, behavior analysts were never interested in "the behavior of rats for its own sake" (Skinner, 1938, p. 441). Rather, the hope was that the analysis of relatively simple nonhuman behaviors in relatively simple environments would pay off as a research strategy (see S. Hayes & L. Hayes, 1992). Whether this strategy would actually work was an empirical matter, because we "can neither assert nor deny continuity or discontinuity" (Skinner, 1938, p. 442), but in fact it worked amazingly well. The extension of behavior-analytic principles derived from the study of nonhumans to human conduct has led to the development of interventions that have had a powerful impact on many areas of human concern. Skinner (1938) at first worried that his approach might not be sufficient for the analysis of verbal behavior. By 1957 he was convinced that a straightforward operant analysis worked there as well. But now, over 35 years later, Skinner's analysis ofverbal events has become increasingly threadbare. Holes have emerged, on both empirical and theoretical grounds. As a result, the analysis of verbal events from a behavior-analytic viewpoint is more open to alternatives. Skinner's analysis, after all, was never the behavior-analytic account-it was only a behavior-analytic account. The need for an adequate behavioranalytic account of verbal events is perhaps felt the most among clinical radical behaviorists. This wing of the applied arena is distinguishable on the one hand

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the first step taken at the University of Nevada Las Vegas (U.S.A.) to address this mid-level academic leadership preparedness issue.
Abstract: Much of the work of colleges and universities gets done at the academic department level. Yet, most institutions of higher learning pay little attention to either the preparation of academic department leaders or their succession into the position. This paper examines the first step taken at the University of Nevada Las Vegas (U.S.A.) to address this mid‐level academic leadership preparedness issue. That step: Identify what department chairs need to know to be effective leaders. The authors then outline an approach to department‐level leadership preparation based on the data gathered in the multi‐level needs assessment effort reported herein and discuss possible implications for like‐minded institutions.
