Cubic and quartic planar differential systems with exact algebraic limit cycles

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2011
Summary: We construct cubic and quartic polynomial planar differential systems with exact limit cycles that are ovals of algebraic real curves of degree four. For the quartic case, we deduce for the first time a class of systems with four algebraic limit cycles and another for which nested configurations of limit cycles occur.

Quartic oscillator potential in the {\gamma}-rigid regime of the collective geometrical model

open access: yes, 2014
A prolate $\gamma$-rigid version of the Bohr-Mottelson Hamiltonian with a quartic anharmonic oscillator potential in $\beta$ collective shape variable is used to describe the spectra for a variety of vibrational-like nuclei.

Promotion in the Australian Public Service: Improvements for Women and Stagnation for Cultural and Linguistic Minorities*

open access: yesEconomic Record, EarlyView.
We investigate whether being female, Indigenous, from a non‐English speaking background (NESB) or having a disability affects career advancement in the Australian Public Service. Over the past 20 years, women have become more likely to get promoted at senior ranks than similar men and just as likely at junior ranks. NESB staff have much lower promotion

Does the All‐Star Award Affect Chinese Analysts' Performance? Evidence From a Regression Discontinuity Design and the Field Le prix All‐Star influence‐t‐il le rendement des analystes chinois ? Données probantes issues d'une régression sur discontinuité et du terrain

open access: yesContemporary Accounting Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the effect of the All‐Star award on the performance of Chinese financial analysts. Leveraging unique voting data from 2007 to 2016 and a regression discontinuity design (RDD), we find that the All‐Star award significantly enhances recipients' fundamental analysis. Awarded analysts issue more accurate earnings forecasts, and

A theory of theta functions to the quintic base [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Properties of four quintic theta functions are developed in parallel with those of the classical Jacobi null theta functions. The quintic theta functions are shown to satisfy analogues of Jacobi's quartic theta function identity and counterparts of ...

Investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying the anti‐CRISPR function of AcrIIA13b protein

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Anti‐CRISPR protein AcrIIA13b inhibits CRISPR–Cas9 function by preventing target DNA engagement. The Cas9–sgRNA ribonucleoprotein (RNP) normally recognizes the protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) duplex to initiate DNA cleavage. AcrIIA13b binding to the PAM‐interacting WED–PI domain blocks this recognition, leaving the target DNA intact.

Effective 't Hooft-Polyakov monopoles from pure SU(3) gauge theory

open access: yes, 2004
The well known topological monopoles originally investigated by 't Hooft and Polyakov are known to arise in classical Yang-Mills-Higgs theory. With a pure gauge theory it is known that the classical Yang-Mills field equation do not have such finite ...

Erythrocyte ‘Feierzeit’ reaction: Novel filamentous and vesicular response to n‐butyl acetate

open access: yesJournal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Human erythrocytes (red blood cells; RBCs) undergo spontaneous disassembly after several hours of exposure to n‐butyl acetate (nBA). Images of the morphological changes were captured in time‐lapse sequences using differential interference contrast (DIC) light microscopy.

A Bayesian approach to spectroscopic depth sectioning for locating dopant atoms

open access: yesJournal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Locating dopants in 3D is of great interest as advanced materials and devices increasingly rely on control at atomic dimensions, and microscopy tools are constantly in development for this purpose. One potential tool is electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) depth sectioning, where a core‐loss signal is collected as a function of electron ...

Sequential Outlier Detection in Nonstationary Time Series

open access: yesJournal of Time Series Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A novel method for sequential outlier detection in nonstationary time series is proposed. The method tests the null hypothesis of “no outlier” at each time point, addressing the multiple testing problem by bounding the error probability of successive tests, using extreme‐value theory. The asymptotic properties of the test statistic are studied
