Is Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection life long?
People with immunoreactivity to tuberculosis are thought to have lifelong asymptomatic infection and remain at risk for active tuberculosis. Marcel A Behr and colleagues argue that most of these people are no longer infected
Revisiting the timetable of tuberculosis.
Tuberculosis has a much shorter incubation period than is widely thought, say Marcel A Behr and colleagues, and this has implications for prioritising research and public health strategies
Gabriel(le) et Marcel(le): La Fluidité du Genre dans Gabriel (1839) de George Sand et Madame Adonis (1888) de Rachilde

George Sand and Rachilde, two important French female writers of the 19th c, discuss androgynous characters and borderline homosexual relationships in their works. They are part of a larger literary trend obsessed with liminal...

Anti-decubitus bed mattress may interfere with cerebrovascular pressure reactivity measures due to induced ICP and ABP cyclic peaks.
Severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients are monitored with continuous arterial blood pressure (ABP) and intracranial pressure (ICP). The pressure reactivity index (PRx) is a frequently used correlation coefficient between...
If You're Happy, I'm Happy
An increasing body of research has addressed what a tourism experience is and how it should best be measured and managed. One conclusion has been to recommend observational methods such as facial expression analysis. The chapter...
Ah, Libraries: How I Love the Smell of... Electronic Access?!
Mark Y. Herring
Jan 01, 0001
In the olden days, we Baby-Boomers would walk into our university or college libraries and pause just long enough to take in that wonderful smells of high grade cowhide leather and aging papyrus before rushing off to study. ...

Scaling limit and ageing for branching random walk in Pareto environment

We consider a branching random walk on the lattice, where the branching rates are given by an i.i.d. Pareto random potential. We show that the system of particles, rescaled in an appropriate way, converges in distribution to...

Local neighbourhoods for first-passage percolation on the configuration model
We consider first-passage percolation on the configuration model. Once the network has been generated each edge is assigned an i.i.d. weight modeling the passage time of a message along this edge. Then independently two vertices...

A new look at duality for the symbiotic branching model

The symbiotic branching model is a spatial population model describing the dynamics of two interacting types that can only branch if both types are present. A classical result for the underlying stochastic partial...

The maximal degree in random recursive graphs with random weights
We study a generalisation of the random recursive tree (RRT) model and its multigraph counterpart, the uniform directed acyclic graph (DAG). Here, vertices are equipped with a random vertex-weight representing initial...
Chaucer and Crusader Ethics
Marcel Elias
Oct 10, 2019
Abstract In this essay, I argue that the Squire’s portrait in the Canterbury Tales is indebted to fourteenth-century crusade discourse, and that the ideological differences between...
A phase transition for preferential attachment models with additive fitness
Preferential attachment models form a popular class of growing networks, where Preferential attachment models form a popular class of growing networks, where incoming vertices are preferably connected to vertices with high...
Voter models on subcritical scale-free random graphs

The voter model is a classical interacting particle system modelling how consensus is formed across a network. We analyze the time to consensus for the voter model when the underlying graph is a subcritical scale-free random...

Violence, Excess, and the Composite Emotional Rhetoric of Richard Coeur de Lion
Marcel Elias
Jun 25, 2019
This article offers a reappraisal of the Middle English romance Richard Coeur de Lion in light of its composite nature, which, I suggest, provides grounds for a more critical reading of the eponymous hero’s bellicose temperament...
Normative Models and Their Success
Lukas Beck, Marcel Jahn
Apr 09, 2021
In this paper, we explore an under-investigated question concerning the class of formal models that aim at providing normative guidance. We call such models normative models. In particular, we examine the question of how...
Phenotypes can be robust and evolvable if mutations have non-local effects on sequence constraints.
The mapping between biological genotypes and phenotypes plays an important role in evolution, and understanding the properties of this mapping is crucial to determine the outcome of evolutionary processes. One of the most...
Fluctuations in a general preferential attachment model via Stein's method
We consider a class of dynamic random graphs known as preferential attachment models, where the probability that a new vertex connects to an older vertex is proportional to a sublinear function of the indegree of the older...
Fine asymptotics for the maximum degree in weighted recursive trees with bounded random weights
A weighted recursive tree is an evolving tree in which vertices are assigned random
vertex-weights and new vertices connect to a predecessor with a probability proportional to its weight. Here, we study the maximum degree...
