Central limit theorem for a birth-growth model with Poisson arrivals and random growth speed [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 We consider Gaussian approximation in a variant of the classical Johnson--Mehl birth-growth model with random growth speed. Seeds appear randomly in $\mathbb{R}^d$ at random times and start growing instantaneously in all directions with a random speed. The location, birth time and growth speed of the seeds are given by a Poisson process. Under suitable

BMC Medicine, 2016 BackgroundBirth weight, a marker of the intrauterine environment, has been extensively studied in epidemiological research in relation to subsequent health and disease. Although numerous meta-analyses have been published examining the association between

Social influences on birth weight [PDF]
Archives of Disease in Childhood - Fetal and Neonatal Edition, 2002 Risk factors for low birth weight are strongly influenced by the social environment Birth weight, like growth, is determined by the complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors. The proportional contribution of these influences is unclear. However, birth weight varies within genetically similar populations,1–3 suggesting that environmental ...

Birth-death chains on a spider: spectral analysis and reflecting-absorbing factorization [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 We consider discrete-time birth-death chains on a spider, i.e. a graph consisting of $N$ discrete half lines on the plane that are joined at the origin. This process can be identified with a discrete-time quasi-birth-death process on the state space $\mathbb{N}_0 \times \{1, 2, \dots, N\},$ represented by a block tridiagonal transition probability ...
