The strategic reference gene : an organismal theory of inclusive fitness
(The Royal Society Publishing, 2019)
How to define and use the concept of inclusive fitness is a contentious topic in evolutionary theory. Inclusive fitness can be used to calculate selection on a focal gene, but it is also applied to whole organisms. Individuals ...
Exponential instability in the fractional Calderón problem
(Institute of Physics, 2018)
In this paper we prove the exponential instability of the fractional Calderón problem and thus prove the optimality of the logarithmic stability estimate from Rüland and Salo (2017 arXiv:1708.06294). In order to infer this ...
Tracing the origin of azimuthal gluon correlations in the color glass condensate
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2016)
We examine the origins of azimuthal correlations observed in high energy
proton-nucleus collisions by considering the simple example of the scattering of uncorrelated
partons off color fields in a large nucleus. We ...
Targeting antibiotic resistant bacteria with phage reduces bacterial density in an insect host
(Royal Society Publishing, 2019)
Phage therapy is attracting growing interest among clinicians as antibiotic resistance continues becoming harder to control. However, clinical trials and animal model studies on bacteriophage treatment are still scarce and ...
Modelling the evolution of periodicity in the periodical cicadas
(Evolutionary Ecology Ltd, 2018)
Background: Periodical cicadas (Magicicada spp.) have a life cycle that ends with the entire underground nymph population exhibiting a synchronized mass emergence to mate above ground. Previous studies have hypothesized ...
Challenges in double charge exchange measurements for neutrino physics
(CERN - the European Organization for Nuclear Research, 2019)
The neutrinoless double beta (0νββ) decay, if observed, has important implications on particle physics, cosmology and fundamental physics. In particular it can give access to the effective neutrino mass. In order to extract ...
Uniform ergodicity of the iterated conditional SMC and geometric ergodicity of particle Gibbs samplers
(International Statistical Institute; Bernoulli Society for Mathematical Statistics and Probability, 2018)
We establish quantitative bounds for rates of convergence and asymptotic variances for iterated conditional sequential Monte Carlo (i-cSMC) Markov chains and associated particle Gibbs samplers [J. R. Stat. Soc. Ser. B. ...
Jet evolution in a dense medium : event-by-event fluctuations and multi-particle correlations
(Elsevier BV, 2017)
We study the gluon distribution produced via successive medium-induced branchings by an energetic jet propagating through a weakly-coupled quark-gluon plasma. We show that under suitable approximations, the jet evolution ...
Quasispheres and metric doubling measures
(American Mathematical Society, 2018)
Applying the Bonk-Kleiner characterization of Ahlfors
2-regular quasispheres, we show that a metric two-sphere X is a
quasisphere if and only if X is linearly locally connected and carries
a weak metric doubling measure, ...
High-precision mass measurements for the rp-process at JYFLTRAP
(EDP Sciences, 2017)
The double Penning trap JYFLTRAP at the University of Jyvaskyla has been successfully used to achieve high-precision mass measurements of nuclei involved in the rapid proton-capture (rp) process. A precise mass measurement ...
