Analysis of genomes has a wide range of applications from disease susceptibility studies to plant breeding research. For example, di↵erent types of barley have di↵ering characteristics regarding draught or salt tolerance. Thus, a typical use case is comparing two plant genomes and try to deduce which genes are responsible for a certain resistance. For this, we need to find di↵erences in large v...

We contribute to a recent literature on the normalization, calibration and estimation of CES production functions. The problem arises because CES ‘share’ parameters are not in fact shares, but depend on underlying dimensions they are ‘dimensional constants’ in other words. It follows that such parameters cannot be calibrated, nor estimated unless the choice of units is made explicit. We use an ...

This work considers how the properties of hydrogen bonded complexes, X-H⋯Y, are modified by the quantum motion of the shared proton. Using a simple two-diabatic state model Hamiltonian, the analysis of the symmetric case, where the donor (X) and acceptor (Y) have the same proton affinity, is carried out. For quantitative comparisons, a parametrization specific to the O-H⋯O complexes is used. Th...

In this paper, asymmetric Algebraic Riccati Equations are analyzed. We derive a new parametrization of the set of solutions, which may be viewed as alternative to the classical one based on Lagrangian subspaces of a “pseudo-Hamiltonian” matrix. Generalizing the symmetric case, the proposed parametrization is given in terms of pairs of invariant subspaces of two related “feedback” matrices. Exte...

The Standard Model parametrization of CP violation is described. Tests of this parametrization using the observed heavy flavour decays and implications for New physics are discussed.

We revisit the kink-like parametrization of the deceleration parameter q(z) [1], which considers a transition, at redshift zt, from cosmic deceleration to acceleration. In this parametrization the initial, at z zt, value of the q-parameter is qi, its final, z = −1, value is qf and the duration of the transition is parametrized by τ . By assuming a flat space geometry we obtain constraints on th...
