CORRESPONDENCE Reply

In response to a comment on their previous note about the Voigt line profile, here the authors clarify relevant statements and numeric algorithms in the original note. In Huang and Yung (2004, hereafter HY04) we described a mistake commonly found in several textbooks regarding the Voigt line profile. Five years after the original note was published, Schreier (2009; see also the associated corri...

Refined best reply correspondence and dynamics

We call a correspondence, defined on the set of mixed strategy profiles, a generalized best reply correspondence if it (1) has a product structure, (2) is upper hemi–continuous, (3) always includes a best reply to any mixed strategy profile, and (4) is convexand closed-valued. For each generalized best reply correspondence, we define a generalized best reply dynamics as a differential inclusion...

Correspondence: Reply to 'SEMA4A variation and risk of colorectal cancer'.

Kinnersley et al. comment on our recently published study1 and report a failure to support semaphorin A (SEMA4A) variations as risk alleles for colorectal cancer (CRC)2. The authors investigated the contribution of the recurrent SEMA4A variants p.Gly484Ala (rs148744804) and p.Pro682Ser (rs76381440) in cohorts of CRC cases from different European populations. No significant association could be ...

Correspondence: Reply to: ‘Correspondence: Variations in ocean heat uptake during the surface warming hiatus'

Energetics arguments are often invoked to explain the early 2000s slowdown of the global mean surface temperature (GMST) increase, a phenomenon often dubbed as the ‘hiatus’. Our recent paper1 showed that in climate models, there is no significant difference in global ocean heat uptake during the hiatus and surge (accelerated warming) events2, but we identified a vertical redistribution of heat ...
