Triviality of Higher Derivative Theories [PDF]
We show that some higher derivative theories have a BRST symmetry. This symmetry is due to the higher derivative structure and is not associated to any gauge invariance.

Network topology drives population temporal variability in experimental habitat networks
Habitat patches connected by dispersal pathways form habitat networks. We explored how network topology affects population outcomes in laboratory experiments using a model species (Daphnia carinata). Central habitat nodes in complex lattice networks exhibited lower temporal variability in population sizes, suggesting they support more stable ...

Analysis about the treatment of derivative in the textbook of higher education
This article arose from some concern, mainly from practice to teaching the discipline Differential and Integral Calculus in the Engineering course, especially the derivative, high failure rate and non-association (by the students) of the meaning of the ...

Geographic variation in walking activity in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum
This study examined whether there is geographic variation in field populations, focusing on the moving activity in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum. Results showed significant differences in moving activity among field populations but no correlation with latitude or meteorological factors.

Notion of a virtual derivative
Diagrams as a graphic expresion of derivatives is proposed for calculation of derivatives for composed function. The concret diagram is understood as a virtual derivative in contrast of concret derivative. In polynomial expression of functions derivative

FROM SCHILLER'S 'TRILL' TO 'OIL' FROM RUSSIAN HYDROCARBONS
In conditions of budget deficit and difficulties in capital borrowing on global markets the issue of home borrowing is becoming more and more acute. A derivative profitable both for the government and citizens, who keep their savings in Russian banks ...

Dendritic cells steering antigen and leukocyte traffic in lymph nodes
Dendritic cells are key players in the activation of T cells and their commitment to effector function. In this In a Nutshell Review, we will discuss how dendritic cells guide the trafficking of antigen and leukocytes in the lymph node, thus influencing T‐cell activation processes. Dendritic cells (DCs) play a central role in initiating and shaping the

Geometric partial differentiability on manifolds: the tangential derivative and the chain rule
We define the tangential derivative, a notion of directional derivative which is invariant under diffeomorphisms. In particular this derivative is invariant under changes of chart and is thus well-defined for functions defined on a differentiable ...

Derivatives of triangular, Toeplitz, circulant matrices and matrices of other forms over semirings [PDF]
In this article we construct examples of derivations in matrix semirings. We study hereditary and inner derivations, derivatives of diagonal, triangular, Toeplitz, circulant matrices and of matrices of other forms and prove theorems for derivatives of matrices of these forms.
