Methods in half-linear asymptotic theory

Electronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2016
We study the asymptotic behavior of eventually positive solutions of the second-order half-linear differential equation $$ (r(t)|y'|^{\alpha-1}\hbox{sgn} y')'=p(t)|y|^{\alpha-1}\hbox{sgn} y, $$ where r(t) and p(t) are positive continuous functions ...

Minimax Estimation of Nonregular Parameters and Discontinuity in Minimax Risk

, 2014
When a parameter of interest is nondifferentiable in the probability, the existing theory of semiparametric efficient estimation is not applicable, as it does not have an influence function.

Asymptotic theory for gene mapping. [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1994
In genetic linkage mapping, the precision of the location estimate depends on both the number of individuals and the number of markers. Convergence rates and limit laws are established for several situations in which the number of markers depends on the sample size. Practical implications of the results are discussed.

Cryo‐EM Structure Guided Engineering of Botulinum Neurotoxin A With Advanced Receptor Binding Affinity and Therapeutical Benefits

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The butterfly unfolded wing in an open form structure of botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT/A) at physiological‐state was confirmed at 2.85 Å resolution by cryo‐electron microscopy (cryo‐EM). Structure‐guided protein engineering significantly enhanced the receptor‐binding affinity, therapeutic efficacy, and safety of the engineered toxin variants ...

Asymptotic Spreading Fastened by Inter-Specific Coupled Nonlinearities: a Cooperative System

, 2012
This paper is concerned with the asymptotic spreading of a Lotka-Volterra cooperative system. By using the theory of asymptotic spreading of nonautonomous equations, the asymptotic speeds of spreading of unknown functions formulated by a coupled system ...

Inflation from asymptotically safe theories [PDF]

Physical Review D, 2015
We investigate models in which inflation is driven by an ultraviolet safe and interacting scalar sector stemming from a new class of nonsupersymmetric gauge field theories. These new theories, differently from generic scalar models, are well defined to arbitrary short distances because of the existence of a controllable ultraviolet interacting fixed ...

Linearizing and Forecasting: A Reservoir Computing Route to Digital Twins of the Brain

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A new approach uses simple neural networks to create digital twins of brain activity, capturing how different patterns unfold over time. The method generates and recovers key dynamics even from noisy data. When applied to fMRI, it predicts brain signals and reveals distinctive activity patterns across regions and individuals, opening possibilities for ...

Functional Mapping of Neurodevelopmental Disease Pathways to Key Neurodevelopmental Processes Represented in the Developmental Neurotoxicity In Vitro Testing Battery

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Human‐relevant methods are essential for modern chemical safety assessment. This study helps define the capabilities and boundaries of an in vitro testing battery for developmental neurotoxicity by exploring its biological applicability domain. By linking neurodevelopmental disease‐related pathways to key neurodevelopmental processes, the work enhances
