This paper looks at some long-term aspects of energy supply and use over the periods before and since the industrial revolution. It is intended to provide an overview and draw out some issues which deserve more sustained examination, not to give a definitive or comprehe...

In this note we introduce a construction which assigns to an arbitrary manifold bundle its fiberwise orientation covering. This is used to show that the zeta classes of non-oriented surface bundles are not divisible in the stable range.

This paper by James Henderson assesses the status and possible future impact of the growing list of potential LNG export projects in the US and Canada.It focuses on future North American LNG exports which, while subject to political and production performance uncertaint...

This is the first in a series of four papers on fixed point ratios in actions of finite classical groups. Our main result states that if G is a finite almost simple classical group and Ω is a faithful transitive non-subspace G-set then either fpr(x)≲|xG|−1...

In this paper we derive a reduced-order approximation to the vertical and horizontal structure of a simplified model of the baroclinically unstable Martian atmosphere. The original model uses the full hydrostatic primitive equations on a sphere, but has only highly simp...

Early in treatment serotonergic and/or noradrenergic antidepressants remediate negative biases in information processing observed in major depressive disorder (MDD). However, it remains unclear whether dopaminergic antidepressants exert similar early actions on informat...

Background: Tool use in humans requires that multisensory information is integrated across different locations, from objects seen to be distant from the hand, but felt indirectly at the hand via the tool. We tested the hypothesis that using a simple tool to perceive vib...

StocHy is a software tool for the quantitative analysis of discrete-time stochastic hybrid systems (shs). StocHy accepts a high-level description of stochastic models and constructs an equivalent shs model. The tool allows to (i) simulate the shs evolution over a given ...

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified hundreds of associated loci across many common diseases. Most risk variants identified by GWAS will merely be tags for as-yet-unknown causal variants. It is therefore possible that identification of the causal varia...
