On Non‐Compact Extended Bach Solitons

Mathematische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study the characterization of non‐compact solitons of the extended Bach flow, known as an extended Bach soliton. We prove that a weakly conformally flat extended Bach soliton (Mn,g,V)$(M^n,g,V)$ with harmonic Weyl tensor is Bach‐flat and the potential vector field V$V$ is conformal.

Enhancing Infrastructure Resilience in Service Utilities through Embedding Versatility in System Architecture

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Enhancing infrastructure resilience, a key component of transforming and sustainably developing service utilities, requires a transdisciplinary and systems engineering framework. Addressing vulnerabilities in system architecture offers opportunities for resilience improvements, thereby mitigating the environmental, social, and economic impacts

Curvatures, graph products and Ricci flatness [PDF]

Journal of Graph Theory, 2020
AbstractIn this paper, we compare Ollivier–Ricci curvature and Bakry–Émery curvature notions on combinatorial graphs and discuss connections to various types of Ricci flatness. We show that nonnegativity of Ollivier–Ricci curvature implies the nonnegativity of Bakry–Émery curvature under triangle‐freeness and an additional in‐degree condition.

Policy Evaluation for Climate Mitigations in the European Agricultural Sector—A Comparison of Policy Options at Micro and Macro Level

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to discuss the micro‐ and macro‐outcomes for the standard neoclassical carbon tax (whose burden falls on the producers) versus the implication of a budget neutral, performance‐based EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) focusing on non‐CO2 emission (N2O and CH4, measured in CO2eq) reduction, especially in the ...

Basophil Activation Test as Biomarker of Severity and Threshold of Allergic Reactions to Cow's Milk During Oral Food Challenges

Allergy, EarlyView.
The threshold of reactivity during fresh milk challenges was 70% lower than that of baked milk challenges, reflecting the higher allergenicity of fresh milk. BAT was the only biomarker statistically significantly different between severity and threshold groups, for baked milk and fresh milk allergies, respectively.

Discrete Ollivier-Ricci curvature

, 2022
We analyze both continuous and discrete-time Ollivier-Ricci curvatures of locally-finite weighted graphs $\G$ equipped with a given distance "$\dist$" (w.r.t. which $\G$ is metrically complete) and for general random walks. We show the continuous-time Ollivier-Ricci curvature is well-defined for a large class of Markovian and non-Markovian random walks

Modulation of KATP channels by diazoxide preserves mitochondrial function and barrier integrity under staurosporine‐induced epithelial stress

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Intestinal barrier dysfunction caused by mitochondrial stress, oxidative damage and apoptosis, are hallmarks of dysbiosis‐associated gastrointestinal (GI) disorders. Staurosporine causes downstream features of dysbiosis‐induced epithelial damage.

POSITIVITY OF RICCI CURVATURE UNDER THE KÄHLER–RICCI FLOW [PDF]

Communications in Contemporary Mathematics, 2006
In each complex dimension n ≥ 2, we construct complete Kähler manifolds of bounded curvature and non-negative Ricci curvature whose Kähler–Ricci evolutions immediately acquire Ricci curvature of mixed sign.

Representativeness of the Natura 2000 network for preserving plant biodiversity in the European Union

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The Natura 2000 (N2K) network of protected areas is one of the main tools for area‐based conservation in the European Union (EU), yet its role in preserving plant biodiversity requires better understanding. We examined data kept in the European Vegetation Archive from over 1.2 million vegetation plots and obtained over 14.2 million plant ...

Representation of obligate groundwater‐dwelling copepod diversity in European protected areas

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Groundwaters sustain diverse surface ecosystems and are populated by metazoan species, mostly invertebrates, that provide fundamental ecological functions and are often of prominent conservation value due to narrow endemism and high phylogenetic rarity.
