Asthma has reached epidemic proportions among multiple age groups and is considered the most common chronic disease in urban-dwelling children. The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology Indoor Allergen Committee suggested in a 2010 report that allergists consider indoor air filtration to be part of ...

performance, aid with weed and pest management, better utilize soil and water resources, and, in the case of Brassica oilseeds, provide benefits for pollinators. Growers have relatively few economically viable cool season crop options in California (USDA NASS 2012), but diversifying winter crop options may become more valuable if summer production of irrigated annual or short-term perennial spe...

Planting Colourings Silently

Let k ≥ 3 be a fixed integer and let Zk(G) be the number of k-colourings of the graph G. For certain values of the average degree, the random variable Zk(G(n,m)) is known to be concentrated in the sense that 1 n (lnZk(G(n,m)) − lnE[Zk(G(n,m))]) converges to 0 in probability [Achlioptas and Coja-Oghlan: Proc. FOCS 2008]. In the present paper we prove a significantly stronger concentration result...
