Multiple reflection expansion and heat kernel coefficients [PDF]

, 2001
We propose the multiple reflection expansion as a tool for the calculation of heat kernel coefficients. As an example, we give the coefficients for a sphere as a finite sum over reflections, obtaining as a byproduct a relation between the coefficients ...

Defining Roles in Pediatric Palliative Care: Perspectives From Oncology and Palliative Care Teams

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Early integration of pediatric palliative care (PPC) is associated with improved symptom management, quality of life, and healthcare utilization for children with cancer. Despite this, variation persists in how PPC is understood, operationalized, and integrated within pediatric oncology programs. In particular, ambiguity surrounding

Gloger's Rule or Historical Conjecture? Tests in Mammals

Ecology and Evolution
Gloger's rule states that homeotherms are darker at lower latitudes; however, a number of 19th‐century naturalists also suggested that animals are more brightly coloured in the tropics than in temperate regions. Using phylogenetic comparative methods, we

Differential frequency of autotomy in two colour morphs of the grasshopper Atractomorpha lata (Orthoptera: Pyrgomorphidae) on dense and sparse grass substrates

European Journal of Entomology
Background colour matching is considered highly effective in preventing the detection of an animal by visual predators. In a grasshopper species with green-brown polymorphism, a green morph on grass and a brown morph on bare ground or dead litter may be ...

X-ray background synthesis: the infrared connection [PDF]

, 2002
We present a synthesis model of the X-ray background based on the cross-correlation between mid-infrared and X-ray surveys, where the distribution of type 2 sources is assumed to follow that of luminous infrared galaxies while type 1 sources are traced ...

The Role of Invasive Procedures in the Treatment of Complicated Gastrointestinal Graft‐Versus‐Host Disease in Pediatric Patients

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Gastrointestinal graft‐versus‐host disease (GI GVHD) following hematopoietic stem cell transplant is typically managed with medical therapy, but surgery and angioembolization may be warranted in selected cases with life‐threatening complications.

Camouflage Using Surface Disruption: The Importance of Corners Versus Edges

Ecology and Evolution
Disruptive colouration is a common mode of camouflage used by predators and prey to conceal their body contours. However, it is unclear how disruptive colouration hinders the detection and recognition of three‐dimensional (3D) body shapes.

Hospitalization Through Families’ Eyes: Comparing Inpatient Care Quality for Children With Sickle Cell Disease and Cystic Fibrosis in Canada

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a chronic, inherited hemoglobinopathy that requires frequent hospitalization for disease‐related complications. Canadian data on inpatient care is limited. This study compared caregiver‐reported hospital experiences of children with SCD to those with cystic fibrosis (CF), a chronic, autosomal recessive ...
