TL;DR: In this paper, a search for new phenomena in final states with an energetic jet and large missing transverse momentum is reported, and the results are translated into exclusion limits in models with pair-produced weakly interacting dark-matter candidates, large extra spatial dimensions, and supersymmetric particles in several compressed scenarios.
Abstract: Results of a search for new phenomena in final states with an energetic jet and large missing transverse momentum are reported. The search uses proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb−1 at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV collected in 2015 and 2016 with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Events are required to have at least one jet with a transverse momentum above 250 GeV and no leptons (e or μ). Several signal regions are considered with increasing requirements on the missing transverse momentum above 250 GeV. Good agreement is observed between the number of events in data and Standard Model predictions. The results are translated into exclusion limits in models with pair-produced weakly interacting dark-matter candidates, large extra spatial dimensions, and supersymmetric particles in several compressed scenarios.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce four processes of consumer responsibilization that, together, comprise the P.A.T. routine (personalization, authorization, capabilization, and transformation).
Abstract: Responsible consumption conventionally stems from an increased awareness of the impact of consumption decisions on the environment, on consumer health, and on society in general. We theorize the influence of moralistic governance regimes on consumer subjectivity to make the opposite case: responsible consumption requires the active creation and management of consumers as moral subjects. Building on the sociology of governmentality, we introduce four processes of consumer responsibilization that, together, comprise the P.A.C.T. routine (personalization, authorization, capabilization, and transformation). After that, we draw on a longitudinal analysis of problem-solving initiatives at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, to explore the role of P.A.C.T. in the creation of four, now commonplace, responsible consumer subjects: the bottom-of-the-pyramid consumer, the green consumer, the health-conscious consumer, and the financially literate consumer. Our analysis informs extant macro-level theorizations of market and consumption systems. We also contribute to prior accounts of responsibilization, marketplace mythologies, consumer subjectivity, and transformative consumer research.

TL;DR: During incremental work rates the stroke volume of endurance trained athletes increases progressively to maximum with no plateau, and by far their major advantage over untrained subjects is in ventricular filling.
Abstract: Left ventricular function was examined during incremental work rates to maximum using simultaneous determinations of stroke volume, left ventricular ejection time (LVET), and diastolic filling time (DT). Seven endurance trained and seven untrained young adult males were studied on a cycle ergometer at matched heart rates of 90, 120, 140, 160, 180, and 190 bpm (+/- 1 bpm). Stroke volume of the untrained subjects reached a plateau at 120 bpm, but stroke volume of the trained subjects continued to increase to their maximum heart rate with no plateau. Throughout incremental work rates, LVET was significantly longer and DT was significantly shorter in the trained subjects. At a heart rate of 190 bpm, the corresponding rates of ventricular emptying and ventricular filling of the trained versus the untrained subjects were 20% and 71% greater, respectively (P < 0.01). We conclude that during incremental work rates the stroke volume of endurance trained athletes increases progressively to maximum with no plateau. In addition, although trained athletes rely on enhancements in both ventricular filling and ventricular emptying to augment stroke volume, by far their major advantage over untrained subjects is in ventricular filling.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report evidence that IPO issuers make income-increasing discretionary accruals in the financial statements released before the offering, consistent with the hypothesis that issuers believe that financial statement information affects IPO offering prices.
Abstract: . Because there are no market-determined prices for IPO shares before they are sold to investors, issuers and underwriters must use nonprice information about the firm to set the offering price. Accounting-based measures are frequently identified as particularly useful in valuing untraded securities. This paper reports evidence that IPO issuers make income-increasing discretionary accruals in the financial statements released before the offering. This evidence is consistent with the hypothesis that issuers believe that financial statement information affects IPO offering prices. Resume. Les actions emises dans le cadre d'un premier appel, public a l'epargne n'ayant pas de prix fixe par le marche avant d'etre vendues aux investisseurs, les emetteurs et les preneurs ferme doivent utiliser l'information relative a l'entreprise n'ayant pas trait au prix pour etablir le prix d'emission. Les mesures d'origine comptable sont souvent considerees comme etant particulierement utiles dans revaluation de valeurs mobilieres non encore negociees. L'auteur demontre que dans les etats financiers qu'elles publient avant l'emission, les entreprises qui procedent a un premier appel public a l'epargne traitent les charges abonnees sur lesquelles elles exercent un pouvoir discretionnaire de facon a hausser les benefices. Cette constatation est conforme a l'hypothese selon laquelle les emetteurs estiment que l'information contenue dans les etats financiers a une incidence sur le cours des actions emises dans le cadre d'un premier appel public a l'epargne.
