TL;DR: In this paper, an original review of both the geo-scientific and archaeological data that specifically relate to sea-level changes and resulting impacts on both physical and cultural landscapes from the Palaeolithic until the emergence of the Classical periods is presented.

TL;DR: This paper analyzes when it is possible to compute the singular values and singular vectors of a matrix with high relative accuracy, which means that each computed singular value is guaranteed to have some correct digits, even if the singularvalues have widely varying magnitudes.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a fully self-consistent covariant density functional theory (CDFT) framework to evaluate the sensitivity of heavy element nucleosynthesis to weak interaction reaction rates.
Abstract: Background: $r$-process nucleosynthesis models rely, by necessity, on nuclear structure models for input. Particularly important are $\ensuremath{\beta}$-decay half-lives of neutron-rich nuclei. At present only a single systematic calculation exists that provides values for all relevant nuclei making it difficult to test the sensitivity of nucleosynthesis models to this input. Additionally, even though there are indications that their contribution may be significant, the impact of first-forbidden transitions on decay rates has not been systematically studied within a consistent model.Purpose: Our goal is to provide a table of $\ensuremath{\beta}$-decay half-lives and $\ensuremath{\beta}$-delayed neutron emission probabilities, including first-forbidden transitions, calculated within a fully self-consistent microscopic theoretical framework. The results are used in an $r$-process nucleosynthesis calculation to asses the sensitivity of heavy element nucleosynthesis to weak interaction reaction rates.Method: We use a fully self-consistent covariant density functional theory (CDFT) framework. The ground state of all nuclei is calculated with the relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov (RHB) model, and excited states are obtained within the proton-neutron relativistic quasiparticle random phase approximation ($pn$-RQRPA).Results: The $\ensuremath{\beta}$-decay half-lives, $\ensuremath{\beta}$-delayed neutron emission probabilities, and the average number of emitted neutrons have been calculated for 5409 nuclei in the neutron-rich region of the nuclear chart. We observe a significant contribution of the first-forbidden transitions to the total decay rate in nuclei far from the valley of stability. The experimental half-lives are in general well reproduced for even-even, odd-$A$, and odd-odd nuclei, in particular for short-lived nuclei. The resulting data table is included with the article as Supplemental Material.Conclusions: In certain regions of the nuclear chart, first-forbidden transitions constitute a large fraction of the total decay rate and must be taken into account consistently in modern evaluations of half-lives. Both the $\ensuremath{\beta}$-decay half-lives and $\ensuremath{\beta}$-delayed neutron emission probabilities have a noticeable impact on the results of heavy element nucleosynthesis models.

TL;DR: The proportion of the genome present in ROH provides a good indication of inbreeding levels and analysis based on ROH length can indicate the relative amounts of autozygosity due to recent and remote ancestors.
Abstract: Using genome-wide SNP data, we calculated genomic inbreeding coefficients (FROH > 1 Mb, FROH > 2 Mb, FROH > 8 Mb and FROH > 16 Mb) derived from runs of homozygosity (ROH) of different lengths (>1, >2, >8 and > 16 Mb) as well as from levels of homozygosity (FHOM). We compared these values of inbreeding coefficients with those calculated from pedigrees (FPED) of 1422 bulls comprising Brown Swiss (304), Fleckvieh (502), Norwegian Red (499) and Tyrol Grey (117) cattle breeds. For all four breeds, population inbreeding levels estimated by the genomic inbreeding coefficients FROH > 8 Mb and FROH > 16 Mb were similar to the levels estimated from pedigrees. The lowest values were obtained for Fleckvieh (FPED = 0.014, FROH > 8 Mb = 0.019 and FROH > 16 Mb = 0.008) ; the highest, for Brown Swiss (FPED = 0.048, FROH > 8 Mb = 0.074 and FROH > 16 Mb = 0.037). In contrast, inbreeding estimates based on the genomic coefficients FROH > 1 Mb and FROH > 2 Mb were considerably higher than pedigree-derived estimates. Standard deviations of genomic inbreeding coefficients were, on average, 1.3–1.7-fold higher than those obtained from pedigrees. Pearson correlations between genomic and pedigree inbreeding coefficients ranged from 0.50 to 0.62 in Norwegian Red (lowest correlations) and from 0.64 to 0.72 in Tyrol Grey (highest correlations). We conclude that the proportion of the genome present in ROH provides a good indication of inbreeding levels and that analysis based on ROH length can indicate the relative amounts of autozygosity due to recent and remote ancestors.
