Coexisting ant species differ in ability to meet their intrinsic nutritional needs
Coexisting species are often assumed to reduce competition by foraging for foods that differ in nutrient composition, but few studies test whether field nutritional differences correspond to intrinsic differences in macronutrient selectivity. We compared field estimates of worker trophic position (tissue isotopes: δ15N) and worker tissue stoichiometry (

Supervised Protein Structure Classification Using Topological Persistence With DeltaFold
ABSTRACT Recent advances in protein structure prediction have considerably increased the number of available structures, underscoring the need for scalable and accurate methods to compare and classify this huge amount of data. Current approaches based on sequence alignment or structural superposition often lack sensitivity and/or are computationally ...

New views of some invariants associated with the Cartesian 2D velocity gradient tensor
Vorticity and divergence of horizontal flow are fundamental quantities in meteorology; both are linear functions of the four elements of the 2D velocity gradient tensor and both are formally unchanged under coordinate rotation. We explore four quadratic functions of the elements that are geometrically invariant in this sense, finding some novel ...

Low‐order system for eddy growth in the storm track
Reanalysis data for the North Atlantic storm track are used to construct a low‐order model that optimally fits the observed interaction between the mean flow and baroclinic eddies. The resulting model is a certain type of predator–prey model. It explains various properties of the storm track, including why eddies grow linearly with the Eady growth rate,

A Rank‐Based CUSUM Monitoring Scheme for Time Between Events and Amplitude Data
ABSTRACT Monitoring time between events and amplitude (TBEA) data is critical in many applications, particularly in manufacturing, reliability engineering, and service operations. Yet, most existing TBEA control charts focus on a single quality characteristic and are typically developed under restrictive distributional assumptions.
