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 ...

Abstract In the 1988 textbook Fractals Everywhere, Barnsley introduced an algorithm for generating fractals through a random procedure which he called the chaos game. Using ideas from the classical theory of covering times of Markov chains, we prove an asymptotic formula for the expected time taken by this procedure to generate a δ‐dense subset of a ...

The flashing ratchet and unidirectional transport of matter [PDF]
We study the flashing ratchet model of a Brownian motor, which consists in cyclical switching between the Fokker-Planck equation with an asymmetric ratchet-like potential and the pure diffusion equation.

Bell's Jump Process in Discrete Time [PDF]
The jump process introduced by J. S. Bell in 1986, for defining a quantum field theory without observers, presupposes that space is discrete whereas time is continuous. In this letter, our interest is to find an analogous process in discrete time.

The number of overtakes in an M/M/2 queue
The phenomenon of overtaking in queueing systems and queueing networks has been addressed by several authors with various motivations in the last decades. Nevertheless, up to now, for the relatively simple M/M/2/FCFS queue, the distribution of the number

Random walk versus random line [PDF]
We consider random walks X_n in Z+, obeying a detailed balance condition, with a weak drift towards the origin when X_n tends to infinity. We reconsider the equivalence in law between a random walk bridge and a 1+1 dimensional Solid-On-Solid bridge with ...

COVER TIME FOR THE FROG MODEL ON TREES
The frog model is a branching random walk on a graph in which particles branch only at unvisited sites. Consider an initial particle density of $\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}$ on the full $d$-ary tree of height $n$.

Asymptotic behaviour of random Markov chains with tridiagonal generators [PDF]
Continuous-time discrete-state random Markov chains generated by a random linear differential equation with a random tridiagonal matrix are shown to have a random attractor consisting of singleton subsets, essentially a random path, in the simplex of ...

Random Walks in I.I.D. Random Environment on Cayley Trees [PDF]
We consider the random walk in an \emph{i.i.d.} random environment on the infinite $d$-regular tree for $d \geq 3$. We consider the tree as a Cayley graph of free product of finitely many copies of $\Zbold$ and $\Zbold_2$ and define the i.i.d ...
