The Determinants of Brazilian Football Clubs’ Debt Ratios by Marke Geisy da Silva Dantas, Raimundo Marciano de Freitas Neto, Maria Alice Alves da Costa, Alexandro Barbosa

“…Our results suggest that debt ratios are more associated with their popularity or their participation in the highest division of its main championship rather than titles held, access to different competitions or relegation to lower levels. We believe that our findings may be useful for both practitioners, who might know the impact of their sports-related choices in their clubs’ debts, and policymakers, that could prepare differentiated policies for specific groups (e.g divisions).…”

Vastly different energy landscapes of the membrane insertions of monomeric gasdermin D and A3 by Viktoria Korn, Kristyna Pluhackova

“…To unveil the process of their pore formation, we examine the energy landscapes upon insertion of the gasdermin D and A3 monomers into a lipid bilayer by extensive atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. We reveal a lower free energy barrier of membrane insertion for gasdermin D than for gasdermin A3 and a preference of gasdermin D for the membrane-inserted and of gasdermin A3 for the membrane-adsorbed state, suggesting that gasdermin D first inserts and then oligomerizes while gasdermin A3 oligomerizes and then inserts. …”

On subsets of asymptotic bases by Xu, Ji-Zhen, Chen, Yong-Gao

“…In this paper, we prove that if $A$ is an asymptotic basis of order $h$ and $B$ is a nonempty subset of $A$, then either there exists a finite subset $F$ of $A$ such that $F\cup B$ is an asymptotic basis of order $h$, or for any $\varepsilon >0$, there exists a finite subset $F_\varepsilon $ of $A$ such that $d_L(h(F_\varepsilon \cup B))\ge hd_L(B)-\varepsilon $, where $d_L(X)$ denotes the lower asymptotic density of $X$ and $hX$ denotes the set of all $x_1+\cdots +x_h$ with $x_i\in X$ $(1\le i\le h)$. …”
