Threshold Graph Limits and Random Threshold Graphs
We study the limit theory of large threshold graphs and apply this to a variety of models for random threshold graphs. The results give a nice set of examples for the emerging theory of graph limits.
متن کاملGovernment Size Threshold and Economic Growth in Iran
We apply the two-sector production function developed by Ram (1986) to estimate the threshold regression model for Iran, concerning the effect of government size on economic growth. Three government size indicators are used to find out the different threshold points. The results show a non-linear relationship of the Armey curve in Iran, in which the threshold effects corresponding to total gove...
متن کاملThreshold Limits for Cover Times
Under a natural hypothesis, the cover time for a finite Markov chain can be approximated by its expectation, as the size of state space tends to infinity. This result is deduced from an abstract result concerning covering an unstructured set by i.i.d. arbitrarily-distributed random subsets. running head: Threshold limits for cover times. key words. cover time, Markov chain, random walk on graph...
متن کاملPrion Strains and Transmission Barrier Phenomena
Several experimental evidences show that prions are non-conventional pathogens, which physical support consists only in proteins. This finding raised questions regarding the observed prion strain-to-strain variations and the species barrier that happened to be crossed with dramatic consequences on human health and veterinary policies during the last 3 decades. This review presents a focus on a ...
متن کاملSilent Prions and Covert Prion Transmission
Prions are infectious agents with zoonotic potential that cause progressive neurodegenerative diseases, known as the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), in animals and humans. Prion disease can be initiated by a spontaneous event, handed down within families from generation to generation through genetic inheritance, or transmitted between susceptible hosts via direct exchange of b...
