Structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used to detect lesions in the brains of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. The formation of these lesions is a complex process involving inflammation, tissue damage, and tissue repair, all of which are visible on MRI. Here we characterize the lesion formation process on longitudinal, multi-sequence structural

(abridged) Extreme adaptive optics (XAO) encounters severe difficulties to cope with the high speed (>1kHz), high accuracy and high order requirements for future extremely large telescopes. An innovative high order adaptive optics system using a self-referenced Mach-Zehnder wavefront sensor (MZWFS) allows counteracting these limitations. This sensor estimate

An accurate modeling of skin effect inside conductors is of capital importance to solve transmission line and scattering problems. This paper presents a surface-based formulation to model skin effect in conductors of arbitrary cross section, and compute the per-unit-length impedance of a multiconductor transmission line. The proposed formulation is based on

We prove that a Volterra-type integral operator $T_gf(z) = \int_0^z f(ζ)g&#39;(ζ)dζ, \, z \in \mathbb D,$ defined on Hardy spaces $H^p, \, 1 \le p < \infty,$ fixes an isomorphic copy of $\ell^p,$ if the operator $T_g$ is not compact. In particular, this shows that the strict singularity of the operator $T_g$ coincides with the compactness of the operator $T_

We present a study of the fully relativistic spherical collapse in presence of quintessence using on Numerical Relativity, following the method proposed by the authors in a previous article [arXiv:1409.3476]. We ascertain the validity of the method by studying the evolution of a spherically symmetric quintessence inhomogeneity on a de Sitter background and w

For self-sustained oscillators subject to noise the coherence, understood as a constancy of the instantaneous oscillation frequency, is one of the primary characteristics. The delayed feedback has been previously revealed to be an efficient tool for controlling coherence of noise-driven self-sustained oscillator. The effect of the delayed feedback control on

Generalized Lüroth series generalize $b$-adic representations as well as Lüroth series. Almost all real numbers are normal, but it is not easy to construct one. In this paper, a new construction of normal numbers with respect to Generalized Lüroth Series (including those with an infinite digit set) is given. Our method concatenates the beginnings of the expa

We describe a set of conformally covariant boundary operators associated to the Paneitz operator, in the sense that they give rise to a conformally covariant energy functional for the Paneitz operator on a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary. These operators naturally give rise to a first- and third-order conformally covariant pseudodifferential operat

We study the (relative) SL(2,C) character varieties of the three-holed projective plane and the action of the mapping class group on them. We describe a domain of discontinuity for this action, which strictly contains the set of primitive stable representations defined by Minsky, and also the set of convex-cocompact characters. We consider the relationship w

Quandles can be regarded as generalizations of symmetric spaces. In the study of symmetric spaces, the notion of flatness plays an important role. In this paper, we define the notion of flat quandles, by referring to the theory of Riemannian symmetric spaces, and classify flat connected finite quandles.

Diagrammatic representation and manipulation of tensor networks has proven to be a useful tool in mathematics, physics, and computer science. Here we present several important and mostly well-known theorems regarding the dualities between linear maps and bipartite pure quantum states, and the dualities between quantum channels and bipartite mixed quantum sta

In this paper, we formulate a procedure to obtain a generalization of Milnor frames for left-invariant pseudo-Riemannian metrics on a given Lie group. This procedure is an analogue of the recent studies on left-invariant Riemannian metrics, and is based on the moduli space of left-invariant pseudo-Riemannian metrics. As one of applications, we show that any

An observational review is provided of the properties of accretion disks around young stars. It concerns the primordial disks of intermediate- and high-mass young stellar objects in embedded and optically revealed phases. The properties were derived from spatially resolved observations and therefore predominantly obtained with interferometric means, either i

Recent years have seen the development of a rich phenomenology beyond the Luttinger Liquid model of one dimensional quantum fluids, arising from interactions between the elementary phonon excitations. It has been known for some time, however, that the straightforward inclusion of these interactions presents technical difficulties that have necessitated appro

This paper considers a sequential estimation and sensor scheduling problem with one sensor and one estimator. The sensor makes sequential observations about the state of an underlying memoryless stochastic process, and makes a decision as to whether or not to send this measurement to the estimator. The sensor and the estimator have the common objective of mi

Three loop ladder and $V$-topology diagrams contributing to the massive operator matrix element $A_{Qg}$ are calculated. The corresponding objects can all be expressed in terms of nested sums and recurrences depending on the Mellin variable $N$ and the dimensional parameter $\varepsilon$.

Partial differential equations are a convenient way to describe reaction- advection-diffusion processes of signalling models. If only one cell type is present, and tissue dynamics can be neglected, the equations can be solved directly. However, in case of multiple cell types it is not always straight forward to integrate a continuous description of the tissu

We study supercontractivity and hypercontractivity of Markov semigroups obtained via ground state transformation of non-local Schrödinger operators based on generators of symmetric jump-paring Lévy processes with Kato-class confining potentials. This class of processes has the property that the intensity of single large jumps dominates the intensity of all m

One of the most famous algorithmic meta-theorems states that every graph property that can be defined by a sentence in counting monadic second order logic (CMSOL) can be checked in linear time for graphs of bounded treewidth, which is known as Courcelle&#39;s Theorem. These algorithms are constructed as finite state tree automata, and hence every CMSOL-defin

This paper is dedicated to the Oldroyd-B model with fractional dissipation $(-Δ)^ατ$ for any $α>0$. We establish the global smooth solutions to the Oldroyd-B model in the corotational case with arbitrarily small fractional powers of the Laplacian in two spatial dimensions. The methods described here are quite different from the tedious iterative approach use

We study the possibility that the long term red timing-noise in pulsars originates from the evolution of the magnetic inclination angle $χ$. The braking torque under consideration is a combination of the dipole radiation and the current loss.

Descriptions of heavy-ion collisions at Fermi energies require to take into account in-medium dissipation and phase-space fluctuations. The interplay of these correlations with the one-body collective behaviour determines the properties (kinematics and fragment production) and the variety of mechanisms (from fusion to neck formation and multifragmentation) o

We study the role of geography in R&D networks by means of a quantitative, micro-geographic approach. Using a large database that covers international R&D collaborations from 1984 to 2009, we localize each actor precisely in space through its latitude and longitude. This allows us to analyze the R&D network at all geographic scales simultaneously. Our empiri

Nuclear Lattice Effective Field Theory is a new many-body approach that is firmly rooted in the symmetries of QCD. In particular, it allows for truly ab initio calculations of nuclear structure and reactions. In this talk, I focus on the emergence of alpha-clustering in nuclei based on this approach.

The peak of the heavy quark pair entropy at the deconfinement transition, observed in lattice QCD, suggests that the transition is effectively driven by the increase of the entropy of bound states. The growth of the entropy with the inter-quark distance leads to the emergent entropic force that induces dissociation of quarkonium states. Since the quark-gluon

In 1929 B.~N.~Delaunay proved that there are exactly 5 types of coincidence of parallelohedra at faces of codimension 3. We give a combinatorial proof of this theorem and prove several additional statements on three-codimensional faces of parallelohedral tiling. -- The original paper appeared in 2013 in MAIS (see the bibref) and was in Russian. This is the E

Type-I clathrates with a cage structure are known to be of importance for thermoelectric applications as the cage can be filled with a guest atom which leads to reduced thermal conductivity. Among the type-I clathrates, Si-based alloys are of relevance for high temperature application and most importantly because they are made of earth abundant elements. Dys

We lift ambit fields as introduced by Barndorff-Nielsen and Schmiegel to a class of Hilbert space-valued volatility modulated Volterra processes. We name this class Hambit fields, and show that they can be expressed as a countable sum of weighted real-valued volatility modulated Volterra processes. Moreover, Hambit fields can be interpreted as the boundary o

Suppose that $B$ is a Brauer $p$-block of a finite group $G$ with a unique modular character $φ$. We prove that $φ$ is liftable to an ordinary character of $G$ (which moreover is $p$-rational for odd $p$). This confirms the basic set conjecture for these blocks.

We investigate the imprint of reheating on the gravitational wave spectrum produced by self-ordering of multi-component scalar fields after a global phase transition.

For the Jordan algebra of hermitian matrices of order $n\ge 2$, we let $X$ be its submanifold consisting of rank-one semi-positive definite elements. The composition of the cotangent bundle map $π_X$: $T^*X\to X$ with the canonical map $X\to \mathbb{C}P^{n-1}$ (i.e., the map that sends a hermitian matrix to its column space), pulls back the Kähler form of th

This work aims at providing new bounds for the diversity multiplexing gain trade-off of a general class of division algebra based lattice codes. In the low multiplexing gain regime, some bounds were previously obtained from the high signal-to-noise ratio estimate of the union bound for the pairwise error probabilities.

In this paper we establish a version of the Paley-Wiener theorem of Fourier analysis in the frame of the Mellin transform.

In this paper we prove the well-posedness issues of the associated initial value problem, the existence of nontrivial solutions with prescribed $L^2$-norm, and the stability of associated solitary waves for two classes of coupled nonlinear dispersive equations. The first problem here describes the nonlinear interaction between two Schrödinger type short wave

Multi-component chalcogenides, such as quasi-binary GeTe-Sb$_{2}$Te$_{3}$ alloys, are widely used in optical data storage media in the form of rewritable optical discs. Ge$_{2}$Sb$_{2}$Te$_{5}$ (GST) in particular has proven to be one of the best-performing materials, whose reliability allows more than 10$^{6}$ write-erase cycles. Despite these industrial ap

Scale-free power law structure describes complex networks derived from a wide range of real world processes. The extensive literature focuses almost exclusively on networks with power law exponent strictly larger than 2, which can be explained by constant vertex growth and preferential attachment. The complementary scale-free behavior in the range between 1

A robust algorithm solution is proposed for tracking an object in complex video scenes. In this solution, the bootstrap particle filter (PF) is initialized by an object detector, which models the time-evolving background of the video signal by an adaptive Gaussian mixture. The motion of the object is expressed by a Markov model, which defines the state trans

In Liu and Lin (Statist. Probab. Letters, 2006), they introduced a kind of complete moment convergence which includes complete convergence as a special case. Inspired by the study of complete convergence, in this paper, we study the convergence rates of the precise asymptotics for this kind of complete moment convergence and get the corresponding convergence

Rising interest in the resilience of ecological systems has spawned diverse interpretations of the term&#39;s precise meaning. This paper classifies and explores definitions of resilience from the ecological literature using a dynamical systems framework. A model consisting of ordinary differential equations is assumed to represent the ecological system. The
