Source Apportionment of One-Hour Semi-Continuous Data Using Positive Matrix Factorization with Total Mass (Nonvolatile plus Semi-Volatile) Measured by the R&P FDMS Monitor [PDF]
Positive matrix factorization (PMF) was used to elucidate sources of fine particulate material (PM 2.5 ) for a study conducted during July 2003 in Rubidoux, CA. One-h averaged semi-continuous measurements were made with a suite of instruments to provide PM 2.5 mass and chemical composition data.

The LU-factorization of totally positive matrices [PDF]
An n × n real matrix A is an STP (strictly totally positive) matrix if all its minors are strictly positive. An n × n real triangular matrix A is a ΔSTP matrix if all its nontrivial minors are strictly positive. It is proved that A is an STP matrix iff A

On Total Positivity of the Discrete Spline Collocation Matrix
\textit{R. Q. Jia} [J. Approximation Theory 39, 11-23 (1983; Zbl 0515.41010)] proved that the discrete B-spine collocation matrix is totally positive, and he also gave necessary and sufficient conditions for a minor to be strictly positive. By a counterexample, it is shown in this paper that Jia's necessary and sufficient conditions are not quite ...

Tropical totally positive matrices
arXiv:1606.00238International audienceWe investigate the tropical analogues of totally positive and totally nonnegative matrices. These arise when considering the images by the nonarchimedean valuation of the corresponding classes of matrices over a real

Eigenvalue Localization for Symmetric Positive Toeplitz Matrices
Given a real symmetric matrix, several inclusion and exclusion intervals containing its eigenvalues can be given. In this paper, for symmetric positive Toeplitz matrices, we provide an inclusion interval and, under an additional hypothesis, we also give ...

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

Role of CX3CR1 receptor in monocyte/macrophage driven neovascularization.
Monocyte/macrophages are implicated in initiation of angiogenesis, tissue/organ perfusion and atherosclerosis biology. We recently showed that chemokine receptor CX(3)CR1 is an essential regulator of monocyte/macrophage derived smooth muscle cell ...
