A random group contains many subgroups which are isomorphic to the fundamental group of a compact hyperbolic 3-manifold with totally geodesic boundary. These subgroups can be taken to be quasi-isometrically embedded. This ...

This paper presents a C 0 discontinuous Galerkin formulation for the simulation of thin shells. The method is based on Koiter’s shell model and allows finite element solutions to be obtained by using standard $C^0$ Lagrange ...

We prove a ‘minimal’ type automorphy lifting theorem for 2-adic Galois representations of unitary type, over imaginary CM fields. We use this to improve an automorphy lifting theorem of Kisin for GL_2.

We give examples of closed orientable graph 3-manifolds having a fundamental group which is not a subgroup of GL(4, F) for any field F. This answers a question in the Kirby problem list from 1977 which is credited to the ...

Peptides represent a source of novel therapeutics for recalcitrant human diseases, but screening for bioactivity from natural or synthetic sources can be uneconomic. In contrast, in vivo expression of peptides from DNA ...

In this paper, a combined experimental-computational study of double-edge notched stone specimen subject to cyclic tensile loading is presented. In the experimental part, the load-deformation response and the local ...

This article presents a comparative analysis of the diachronic evolution of Romance clausal structure from Classical Latin through to the late medieval period, with particular reference to the Verb Second (V2) property. ...

Abstract Background Many practical tasks in biomedicine require accessing specific types of information in scientific literature; e.g. information about the results or conclusions of the study in question. Several schemes ...

Accurate identification of bursting activity is an essential element in the characterization of neuronal network activity. Despite this, no one technique for identifying bursts in spike trains has been widely adopted. ...

The numerical solution of strain gradient-dependent continuum problems has been hindered by continuity demands on the basis functions. The presence of terms in constitutive models that involve gradients of the strain field ...

Kac’s d dimensional model gives a linear, many particle, binary collision model from which, under suitable conditions, the celebrated Boltzmann equation, in its spatially homogeneous form, arise as a mean field limit. The ...

Cybernetic thinking provides a framework to understand the issues in creating and using methods and process models during collaborative designing. It can help understand what takes place while the creation and use is ...

In this work, we present a method to extract features from heart sound signals in order to enhance segmentation performance. The approach is data-driven, since the way features are extracted from the recorded signals is ...

Consider a projective manifold with two distinct polarisations $L_1$ and $L_2$. From this data, Donaldson has defined a natural flow on the space of Kähler metrics in $c_1$($L_1$), called the J-flow. The existence of a ...

We present a formulation of the autoregressive HMM for speech synthesis and compare it to the standard HMM synthesis framework and the trajectory HMM. We give details of how to do efficient parameter estimation and synthesis ...

This paper describes a program that solves elementary mathematical problems, mostly in metric space theory, and presents solutions that are hard to distinguish from solutions that might be written by human mathematicians.

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is an imaging technique which can be used to investigate chemical changes in human biological processes such as cancer development or neurochemical reactions. Most dynamic PET scans are ...
