Family size decomposition of genealogical trees [PDF]
We study the path of family size decompositions of varying depth of genealogical trees. We prove that this decomposition as a function on (equivalence classes of) ultra-metric measure spaces to the Skorohod space describing the family sizes at different depths is perfect onto its image, i.e. there is a suitable topology such that this map is continuous

ABSTRACT Introduction Peels are an abundant but still underutilized waste product in the Citrus fruit industry. They contain coumarins with antiadipogenic potential that could be promising targets in new valorization strategies for Citrus peels.

The notion of ‘equity’ is undergoing conceptual repositioning in international law today, embracing individuals as well as states and gaining an association with human rights and the politics of protest. In the context of these developments, the present paper enquires into the premodern roots of this ancient and rich term through three historical ...

Continuum Space Limit of the Genealogies of Interacting Fleming-Viot Processes on $\Z$ [PDF]
We study the evolution of genealogies of a population of individuals, whose type frequencies result in an interacting Fleming-Viot process on $\Z$. We construct and analyze the genealogical structure of the population in this genealogy-valued Fleming-Viot process as a marked metric measure space, with each individual carrying its spatial location as a ...

Strategy to identify variants involved in gout pathogenesis in New Caledonia. Abstract Background Gout, which manifests as severe inflammation caused by excessive serum urate levels and monosodium urate deposits in the joints, is associated with multiple genomic loci in Europeans.

Abstract This article revisits the 1642 Collection for the relief of the Protestant victims of the 1641 Irish Uprising. Based on an analysis of all extant (English) parish returns, it explores how the act of charity was understood by the thousands who contributed and what its consequences were for popular engagement in the politics of a country on the ...

Reexamining Technological Support for Genealogy Research, Collaboration, and Education [PDF]
Genealogy, the study of family history and lineage, has seen tremendous growth over the past decade, fueled by technological advances such as home DNA testing and mass digitization of historical records. However, HCI research on genealogy practices is nascent, with the most recent major studies predating this transformation. In this paper, we present a

ABSTRACT As part of the special issue Centering Affect and Emotion Toward Justice and Dignity in Science Education, this paper examines the emergence and performance of hyperrationality in STEM classrooms. Hyperrationality describes verbal and embodied expressions whereby learners try to maintain an appearance of neutrality and emotional distance to ...

Genealogical distance under selection [PDF]
We study the genealogical distance of two randomly chosen individuals in a population that evolves according to a two type Moran model with mutation and selection. We prove that this distance is stochastically smaller than the corresponding distance in the neutral model, when the population size is large.

To what extent does genealogical ancestry imply genetic ancestry? [PDF]
Recent statistical and computational analyses have shown that a genealogical most recent common ancestor (MRCA) may have lived in the recent past. However, coalescent-based approaches show that genetic most recent common ancestors for a given non-recombining locus are typically much more ancient.
