New Limiting Distributions for Bellman–harris Processes

We present a number of new solutions to an integral equation arising in the limiting theory of Bellman–Harris processes. The argument proceeds via straightforward analysis of Mellin transforms. We also derive a criterion for the analyticity of the Laplace transform of the limiting distribution on Re(u) ≥ −c for some c > 0.

Notes on a Large Scrotal Hernia Operated upon under Apothesine

an operation. He was discharged the next day. On 6th December,. 1924, the patient again sought admission. He came in with a very severe attack of bronchial asthma. The hernia had very appreciably increased. A little difficulty was experienced in effecting its reduction. He again expressed unwillingness to be operated upon. A truss was applied and the patient discharged. On 2nd February, 1925, t...

A note on the Harris-Kesten Theorem

A short proof of the Harris-Kesten result that the critical probability for bond percolation in the planar square lattice is 1/2 was given in [1], using a sharp threshold result of Friedgut and Kalai. Here we point out that a key part of this proof may be replaced by an argument of Russo [6] from 1982, using his approximate zero-one law in place of the Friedgut-Kalai result. Russo’s paper gave ...

A new name and a new synonym in Miconia (Melastomataceae)

The name Miconia densiflora Cogn. (1886) is a later homonym of Miconia densiflora (Gardner) Naudin (1851), but since we propose it as a taxonomic synonym of Miconia caudata (Bonpl.) DC. (1828), we do not provide a new name. The name Miconia longicuspisHerzog (1909) is a later homonym of Miconia longicuspis Cogn. (1891) and we here propose its replacement by Miconia longicuspidata S.S. Renner & ...
