Background – Hymenoptera envenomation with honey bee (Apis mellifera) and paper wasp (Polistes spp.) may cause life‐threatening anaphylaxis in dogs. In human patients, clinical history, intradermal testing (IDT) and measurement of allergen‐specific serological immunoglobulin (Ig)E (sIgE) are used to support a diagnosis of Hymenoptera venom ...

Background – Because of the increased incidence of multidrug‐resistant (MDR) bacteria, the use of disinfectants over antibiotics has been encouraged. However, the interactions between disinfectants and host local immunity are poorly understood. Objective – To assess the effects of chlorhexidine digluconate (Chx), with and without selected host defence ...

Strengthened inequalities for the mean width and the ℓ‐norm
Abstract Barthe proved that the regular simplex maximizes the mean width of convex bodies whose John ellipsoid (maximal volume ellipsoid contained in the body) is the Euclidean unit ball; or equivalently, the regular simplex maximizes the ℓ‐norm of convex bodies whose Löwner ellipsoid (minimal volume ellipsoid containing the body) is the Euclidean unit

From Hardy to Rellich inequalities on graphs
Abstract We show how to deduce Rellich inequalities from Hardy inequalities on infinite graphs. Specifically, the obtained Rellich inequality gives an upper bound on a function by the Laplacian of the function in terms of weighted norms. These weights involve the Hardy weight and a function which satisfies an eikonal inequality.

Exponential concentration inequalities for additive functionals of Markov chains [PDF]
Using the renewal approach we prove exponential inequalities for additive functionals and empirical processes of ergodic Markov chains, thus obtaining counterparts of inequalities for sums of independent random variables.

Three candidate plurality is stablest for small correlations
Using the calculus of variations, we prove the following structure theorem for noise-stable partitions: a partition of n-dimensional Euclidean space into m disjoint sets of fixed Gaussian volumes that maximise their noise stability must be $(m-1 ...

A note on stochastic dominance, uniform integrability and lattice properties
Abstract In this work, we discuss completeness for the lattice orders of first and second order stochastic dominance. The main results state that both first‐ and second‐order stochastic dominance induce Dedekind super complete lattices, that is, lattices in which every bounded nonempty subset has a countable subset with identical least upper bound and ...

We first review an approach that had been developed in the past years to introduce concepts of “bivariate ageing” for exchangeable lifetimes and to analyze mutual relations among stochastic dependence, univariate ageing, and bivariate ageing.

Sklar’s theorem, copula products, and ordering results in factor models
We consider a completely specified factor model for a risk vector X = (X1, . . ., Xd), where the joint distributions of the components of X with a risk factor Z and the conditional distributions of X given Z are specified.

Behavior of the empirical Wasserstein distance in ${\mathbb R}^d$ under moment conditions [PDF]
We establish some deviation inequalities, moment bounds and almost sure results for the Wasserstein distance of order p ∈ [1, ∞) between the empirical measure of independent and identically distributed R d-valued random variables and the common ...
