Lewis' and Leep's bounds on the level and sublevel of quaternion algebras are extended to the class of composition algebras. Some simple constructions of composition algebras of known level values are given. In addition, ...
In [O'S], the level and sublevel of composition algebras are studied, wherein these quantities are determined for those algebras defined over local fields. In this paper, the level and sublevel of composition algebras, of ...
An observational study was carried out, using data collected from four areas in the Irish midlands, between 1989 and 2004, to critically evaluate the long-term effects of proactive badger culling and to provide insights ...
The dynamics of non-divergent flow on a rotating sphere are described by the conservation of absolute vorticity. The
analytical study of the non-linear barotropic vorticity equation is greatly facilitated by the expansion ...
We study the dynamics of a spherical rigid body that rocks and rolls on a plane
under the effect of gravity. The distribution of mass is non-uniform and the
centre of mass does not coincide with the geometric centre. The ...
Many recent approaches to modeling social networks have focussed on embedding
the actors in a latent “social space”. Links are more likely for actors that are
close in social space than for actors that are distant in ...
Certain families of quaternion and octonion algebras are conjectured to be of level and sublevel n. A proof of this conjecture is offered in the case where n is a power of two. Hoffmann's proof of the existence of infinitely ...
The p* model is widely used in social network analysis. The likelihood of a network under this model is impossible to calculate for all but trivially small networks. Various approximation have been presented in the literature, ...
This paper proposes a new probabilistic classification algorithm using a Markov random field approach. The joint distribution of class labels is explicitly modelled using the distances between feature vectors. Intuitively, ...
Ranked preference data arise when a set of judges rank, in order of their preference, a set of objects. Such data arise in preferential voting systems and market
research surveys. Covariate data associated with the judges ...
Mycobacterium bovis infects the wildlife species badgers Meles meles who are linked with the spread of the associated disease tuberculosis (TB) in cattle. Control of livestock infections depends in part on the spatial and ...
A new family of mixture models for the model-based clustering of longitudinal data is introduced.
The covariance structures of eight members of this new family of models are given and the associated maximum likelihood ...
Food authenticity studies are concerned with determining if food samples have been correctly labelled or not. Discriminant analysis methods are an integral part of the methodology for food authentication. Motivated by food ...
It is known that, for any simply connected proper subdomain Omega of the complex plane and any point zeta in Omega, there are holomorphic functions on Omega that have "universal" Taylor series expansions about zeta; that ...
Remarkable advances in weather forecasts
during the past half-century
have brought great benefits to humanity.
Accurate forecasts save many
lives, and early warnings mitigate
the worst effects of extreme weather
events, ...
In 1976 Procesi and Schacher developed an Artin–Schreier type theory for central simple algebras with involution and conjectured that in such an algebra a totally positive element is always a sum of hermitian squares. In ...
The spectrum of atmospheric motions is vast, encompassing phenomena having periods ranging
from seconds to millennia. The motions of interest to the forecaster typically have time-scales of a day or longer, but the ...
In recent years, work has been carried out on clustering gene expression microarray data. Some approaches are developed from an algorithmic viewpoint whereas others are developed via the application of mixture models. In ...
This paper characterizes the subsets E of the unit disc D with the property that the supremum of |f| over E equals the supremum over D for all functions f in the Nevanlinna class.
Background:
Data from metabolomic studies are typically complex and high-dimensional. Principal component analysis (PCA) is currently the most widely used statistical technique for analyzing metabolomic data. However, ...
