Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1975 The Aurora Borealis is a natural phenomenon of striking beauty and overwhelming presence in certain parts of the world. It is therefore natural to ask what effect these northern lights have had on the native cultures in the auroral zones. Since the sun, moon, and stars all have a place in the mythology of most primitive cultures, it is not surprising ...

Integrative Conservation, EarlyView.Our research demonstrates that in mirroring prevailing human biases towards different insect groups, LLM chatbots oversimplify insect diversity by predominantly restricting “bees” to honeybees and “wasps” to yellowjackets, neglecting the majority of biodiversity that includes wild bees and parasitoid wasps, while also favouring Nearctic species in ...

Edge‐Connectivity Between Edge‐Ends of Infinite Graphs
Journal of Graph Theory, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In infinite graph theory, the notion of ends, first introduced by Freudenthal and Jung for locally finite graphs, plays an important role when generalizing statements from finite graphs to infinite ones. Nash‐Williams' Tree‐Packing Theorem and MacLane's Planarity Criteria are examples of results that allow a topological approach, in which ends

Primes, Pi, and Irrationality Measure [PDF]
arXiv, 2007 A folklore proof of Euclid's theorem on the infinitude of primes uses the Euler product and the irrationality of $\zeta(2) = \pi^2/6$. A quantified form of Euclid's Theorem is Bertrand's postulate $p_{n+1} < 2p_n$. By quantifying the folklore proof using an irrationality measure for $6/\pi^2$, we give a proof (communicated to Paulo Ribenboim in 2005 ...
