‎based on a definition for circle in finsler space‎, ‎recently proposed by one of the present authors and z‎. ‎shen‎, ‎a natural definition of extrinsic sphere in finsler geometry is given and it is shown that a connected submanifold of a finsler manifold is totally umbilical and has non-zero parallel mean curvature vector field‎, ‎if and only if its circles coincide with circles of the ambient...

It is often argued that female researchers publish on average less than male researchers do, but male and female authored papers have an equal impact. In this paper we try to better understand this phenomenon by (i) comparing the share of male and female researchers within different productivity classes, and (ii) by comparing productivity whereas controlling for a series of relevant covariates....
