Recently, persistent homology has had tremendous success in biomolecular data analysis. It works by examining the topological relationship or connectivity of a group of atoms in a molecule at a variety of scales, then rendering a family of topological representations of the molecule. However, persistent homology is rarely employed for the analysis ...

We show short time existence for the evolution of triple junction clusters driven by the surface diffusion flow. On the triple line we use the boundary conditions derived by Garcke and Novick-Cohen as the singular limit of a Cahn-Hilliard equation with degenerated mobility. These conditions are concurrency of the triple junction, angle conditions b...

Migratory movements of facultative migrants are poorly understood due to their irregular and often unpredictable occurrence. However, tracking such movements is important for understanding population dynamics, informing annual cycle conservation plans, and identifying possible cues of facultative migration. We used pinpoint GPS tags to track autumn...

Migration routes vary greatly among small passerine species and populations. It is now possible to determine the routes over great distances and long periods of time with emerging monitoring networks. We tracked individual Swainson’s Thrush (Catharus ustulatus), Bicknell’s Thrush (Catharus bicknelli) and Gray-cheeked Thrush (Catharus minimus) in no...

Let w be a semiclassical weight that is generic in Magnus’s sense, and (pn)n=0∞ ({p_n})_{n = 0}^\infty the corresponding sequence of orthogonal polynomials. We express the Christoffel–Darboux kernel as a sum of products of Hankel integral operators. For ψ ∈ L∞ (iℝ), let W(ψ) be the Wiener-Hopf operator with symbol ψ. We give sufficient conditions o...

Objective This meta-analysis aims to investigate the diagnostic performance of serum homocysteine (Hcy) as a biomarker for diabetic nephropathy (DN). Methods Clinical publications relevant to serum Hcy level and DN were systematic searched in the electronic databases of; Pubmed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Web of science, CNKI and CBM. The diagnostic...

In this paper we apply the results obtained in [3] to establish some outcomes of the study of the behaviour of a class of linear operators, which include the Sylvester ones, acting on slice semi-regular functions. We first present a detailed study of the kernel of the linear operator ℒf,g (when not trivial), showing that it has dimension 2 if exact...

It is well known, by now, that the three-dimensional non-viscous planetary geostrophic model, with vertical hydrostatic balance and horizontal Rayleigh friction/damping, coupled to the heat diffusion and transport, is mathematically ill-posed. This is because the no-normal flow physical boundary condition implicitly produces an additional boundary ...
