Spiky strings and the AdS/CFT correspondence
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, 2011-10-11)
In this dissertation, we explore some aspects of semiclassical type IIB string
theory on AdS3 × S1 and on pure AdS3 in the limit of large angular momentum
S.
We first focus on the integrability technique known as ...
A simple Bayesian estimate of direct RNAi gene regulation events from differential gene expression profiles
(2011-05-20)
Abstract Background Microarrays are commonly used to investigate both the therapeutic potential and functional effects of RNA interfering (RNAi) oligonucleotides such as microRNA (miRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA). ...
On Villani's conjecture concerning entropy production for the Kac Master equation
(America Institute of Mathematical SciencesKinetic and Related Models, 2011-06-01)
In this paper we take an idea presented in recent paper by Carlen, Carvalho, Le Roux, Loss, and Villani ([3]) and push it one step forward to find an exact estimation on the entropy production. The new estimation essentially ...
Witt groups of complex varieties
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical StatisticsTrinity Hall, 2011-07-12)
The thesis Witt Groups of Complex Varieties studies and compares two related cohomology theories that arise in the areas of algebraic geometry and topology: the algebraic theory of Witt groups, and real topological K-theory. ...
Response to: DNA identification by pedigree likelihood ratio accommodating population substructure and mutations
(2011-03-25)
Abstract Mutation models are important in many areas of genetics including forensics. This letter criticizes the model of the paper 'DNA identification by pedigree likelihood ratio accommodating population substructure and ...
Severe depression is associated with increased microglial quinolinic acid in subregions of the anterior cingulate gyrus: Evidence for an immune-modulated glutamatergic neurotransmission?
(2011-08-10)
Abstract Background Immune dysfunction, including monocytosis and increased blood levels of interleukin-1, interleukin-6 and tumour necrosis factor α has been observed during acute episodes of major depression. These ...
