IMPOSING CURVATURE RESTRICTIONS ON A TRANSLOG COST FUNCTION USING A MARKOV CHAIN MONTE CARLO SIMULATION APPROACH [PDF]
Using Kansas Farm data from 1973 to 1998, curvature restrictions are imposed on a translog cost function. Using uninformative priors with indicator functions representing distribution and inequality constraints, a Markov Chain Monte Carlo Simulation ...

Curvature‐driven Multi‐stream Network for Feature‐preserving Mesh Denoising
Mesh denoising is a fundamental yet challenging task. Most of the existing data‐driven methods only consider the zero‐order information (vertex location) and first‐order information (face normal).

SECTIONAL CURVATURE DUCTILTY OF REINFORECD CONCRETE COLUMNS UNDER LARGE INELASTIC DEFORMATION
A mathematical model is developed to express stress-strain relationship of normal-strength concrete confined by transverse reinforcement. The sectional ductility analysis on rectangular reinforced concrete columns is performed under axial load ...

BCG vaccination potentiates oxidative phosphorylation in neonatal myeloid‐derived suppressor cells
BCG vaccination enhances oxidative phosphorylation in neonatal MDSCs, impairing their immunosuppressive function. It upregulates electron transport chain genes and mitochondrial activity, increasing ATP and oxygen consumption. Pharmacological OXPHOS inhibition partially restores suppressive capacity, confirming causality.

Mixed sectional-Ricci curvature obstructions on tori
We establish new obstruction results to the existence of Riemannian metrics on tori satisfying mixed bounds on both their sectional and Ricci curvatures.

Fluctuation of Sectional Curvature for Closed Hypersurfaces
Let \(f: M\to (\mathbb{R}^{n+1},\text{can})\) be an immersion as a hypersurface of a smooth closed manifold \(M\) and denote by \(f^*\)can the pullback metric on \(M\) of the canonical metric can on \(\mathbb{R}^{n+1}\). If \(M\) is not diffeomorphic to \(S^n\), then the sectional curvature of \(M\) with respect to this metric cannot be constant and it

MARK4 enhances stress granule formation under oxidative stress and increases tau accumulation
MARK4 (red dots) localizes to stress granules (orange dots) and promotes their formation under oxidative stress by modulating TIA1 (blue dots). MARK4 and TIA1 synergistically increase tau (purple) accumulation, and the reduction of the TIA1 ortholog suppresses neurodegeneration in a fly model.

In this paper, we study the topology of steady gradient Ricci solitons with nonnegative sectional curvature. We apply a characterization theorem for the fundamental group of a positively curved steady gradient Ricci soliton that admits a critical point ...

CR-submanifolds of a locally conformal Kaehler space form
(Bejancu [1,2]) The purpose of this paper is to continue the study of CR-submanifolds, and in particular of those of a locally conformal Kaehler space form (Matsumoto [3]).

Long‐Term Follow‐Up of Chemotherapy‐Associated Biological Aging in Women With Early Breast Cancer
Women threated with adjuvant chemotherapy for early breast cancer have sustained long‐term increase in p16INK4a,, a robust marker of cell senescence, suggesting a chemotherapy‐associated age acceleration. p16INK4a as well as other biomarkers may identify patients at greatest risk for senescence‐related diseases of aging.
