AbstractWe consider genotypic convergence of populations and show that under fixed fitness asexual and haploid sexual populations attain monomorphic convergence (even under genetic linkage between loci) to basins of attraction with locally exponential convergence rates;...

AbstractThe evolution of antibiotic resistant bacteria threatens to become the leading cause of worldwide mortality. This crisis has renewed interest in the practice of phage therapy. Yet, bacteria’s capacity to evolve resistance is likely to debilitate this therapy as ...

We answer negatively to the question posed by Aleksandrov concerning analytic functions of Smirnov's class in the unit disk with pure imaginary boundary values. We also find new sufficient conditions for representations of functions of Smirnov's class by the Schwartz an...

We compute the Welschinger invariants of blowups of the projective plane at an arbitrary conjugation invariant configuration of points. Specifically, open analogues of the WDVV equation and Kontsevich-Manin axioms lead to a recursive algorithm that reconstructs all the ...

A U-spin relation among four ratios of amplitudes for $D^0 \to \pi^+K^-$, $K^+\pi^-$, $K^+K^-, \pi^+\pi^-$, including first, second and third order U-spin breaking, has been derived recently with a precision of $10^{-3}$. We study effects of new $|\Delta C|=1$ operators...

Abstract Climate change is causing temperature increment in crop production areas worldwide, generating conditions of heat stress that negatively affect crop productivity. Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), a major vegetable crop, is highly susceptible to conditions of heat...

We consider a direct product of a suspension flow over a substitution dynamical system and an arbitrary ergodic flow and give quantitative estimates for the speed of convergence for ergodic integrals of such systems. Our argument relies on new uniform estimates of the s...

We explore the phenomenology of Elastically Decoupling Relic (ELDER) dark matter. ELDER is a thermal relic whose present density is determined primarily by the cross-section of its elastic scattering off Standard Model (SM) particles. Assuming that this scattering is me...

Various engine types are thermodynamically equivalent in the quantum limit of small “engine action”. Our previous derivation of the equivalence is restricted to Markovian heat baths and to implicit classical work repository (e.g., laser light in the semi-classical appro...

Abstract In the Split to Block Vertex Deletion and Split to Threshold Vertex Deletion problems the input is a split graph G and an integer k, and the goal is to decide whether there is a set S of vertices of size at most k such that G − S is a block graph and G − S is a...
