estar: An R package to measure ecological stability
Abstract Assessing ecological stability is a key task in biodiversity monitoring and conservation. Quantifying stability is not trivial because its different aspects can be measured with various properties. However, to date, no software enables measuring different stability properties on ecological time‐series data.

Analysis of the trusted-device scenario in continuous-variable quantum key distribution
The assumption that detection and/or state-preparation devices used for continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CV-QKD) are beyond influence of potential eavesdroppers leads to a significant performance enhancement in terms of achievable key rate ...

B-mode polarization induced by gravitational waves from kinks on infinite cosmic strings
We investigate the effect of the stochastic gravitational wave (GW) background produced by kinks on infinite cosmic strings, whose spectrum was derived in our previous work, on the B-mode power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy.

Abstract Introduction A proportion of people living with HIV (PLWH) fail to restore their CD4 count or their CD4/CD8 ratio despite effective antiretroviral therapy (ART). PLWH with immune non‐response (INR) are at a higher risk of both AIDS and non‐AIDS events. The underlying mechanisms of INR remain unclear.

Search engine users rarely express an information need using the same query, and small differences in queries can lead to very different result sets. These user query variations have been exploited in past TREC CORE tracks to contribute diverse, highly-effective runs in offline evaluation campaigns with the goal of producing reusable test collections ...
