On the Distribution of City Sizes [PDF]

open access: yes
The city size distribution of many countries is remarkably well approximated by a Pareto distribution. We study what constraints this regularity imposes on standard urban models. We find that under general conditions urban models must have (i) a balanced

Lack of uniqueness for weak solutions of the incompressible porous media equation

open access: yes, 2009
In this work we consider weak solutions of the incompressible 2-D porous media equation. By using the approach of De Lellis-Sz\'ekelyhidi we prove non-uniqueness for solutions in $L^\infty$ in space and time.Comment: 23 pages, 2 ...

Health System Factors in Head and Neck Cancer Diagnosis: A HEADSpAcE Consortium Qualitative Study in Glasgow and Montevideo

open access: yesHead &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Head and neck cancer (HNC) is a devastating diagnosis, with advanced‐stage disease leading to poorer outcomes. This qualitative study aimed to identify health system factors associated with stage of HNC diagnosis. Methods Qualitative semistructured interviews with HNC patients and clinicians were undertaken in two purposively ...

On the Collapse of Tubes Carried by 3D Incompressible Flows

open access: yes, 2001
We povide a test for numerical simulations for the collapse of regular tubes carried by a 3D incompressible flow. In particular, we obtain necessary conditions for 3D Euler to have a vortex tube collapse in finite time.Comment: 10 pages; the only change ...

The reporting and handling of missing data in genetic epidemiological studies of mental health in childhood and adolescence: A systematic review

open access: yesJCPP Advances, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Genetic epidemiological analyses of child and adolescent mental health often use data from prospective longitudinal cohorts. Missingness due to selective attrition is therefore an important potential source of bias in such analyses.

Understanding nitrate assimilation and its regulation in microalgae

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Nitrate assimilation is a key process for nitrogen (N) acquisition in green microalgae. Among Chlorophyte algae, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has resulted to be a good model system to unravel important facts of this process, and has provided important ...
