In several of our recent experiments (Herrnstein, Prelec, & Vaughan, 1986), subjects made choices in a way that supports the idea that choice is governed, either sometimes or always, by a principle ...

Background: In the absence of horizontal gene transfer it is possible to reconstruct the history of gene families from empirically determined orthology relations, which are equivalent to event-labeled ...

Hoffmann, S.,Stadler, P. F.,Strimmer, K. Background: Several sources of noise obfuscate the identification of single nucleotide variation (SNV) in next generation sequencing data. For instance, errors ...

The duration of the quasistationary states (QSSs) emerging in the d-dimensional classical inertial α−XY model, i.e., N planar rotators whose interactions decay with the distance r ij as 1/r α ij (α ≥ ...

Recent laboratory experiments suggest that a molecule's ability to evolve neutrally is important for its ability to generate evolutionary innovations. In contrast to laboratory experiments, life ...

Aiming to chart a more sustainable path for governing our nation’s grid, representatives spanning physics, law, energy ...

In many careers, a person must learn foundational skills before advancing deeper into their profession. A recent paper in ...

We adapt tools from information theory to analyze how an observer comes to synchronize with the hidden states of a finitary, stationary stochastic process. We show that synchronization is determined ...

Hellmuth, M.,Ostermeier, L.,Stadler, P. F. Equivalence relations on the edge set of a graph G that satisfy restrictive conditions on chordless squares play a crucial role in the theory of Cartesian ...

Blair, D. W.,Santangelo, C.,Machta, J. The densest packings of N unit squares in a torus are studied using analytical methods as well as simulated annealing. A rich array of dense packing solutions ...
