In the paper we study closures of classes of log–concave measures under taking weak limits, linear transformations and tensor products. We consider what uniform measures on convex bodies can one obtain starting from some class K. In particular we prove that if one starts from one–dimensional log–concave measures, one obtains no non– trivial uniform mesures on convex bodies.

La loi de bioéthique a été révisée en 2021 pour tenir compte des avancées sociétales et médicales, notamment matière d’aide médicale à la procréation (AMP). Un objectifs était limiter les recours l’AMP qui se font dehors du cadre légal médical français. Comparativement d’autres pays européens,...

Within an expansion in slow-roll in ation parameters, we derive secondorder expressions relating the ratio of tensor to scalar density perturbations and the spectral index of the scalar spectrum. We nd that \corrections" to previously derived formulae can dominate if the tensor to scalar ratio is small. For instance, if V V 00=(V ) 6= 1 or if mP l=(4 ) jV 000=V j > 1, where V ( ) is the in aton...

The paper examines the transmission mechanism of monetary policy in an open economy with and without a binding zero bound on nominal interest rates. In particular, a foolproof way of escaping from a liquidity trap is suggested, consisting of a price-level target path, a devaluation of the currency and a temporary exchange rate peg, which is later abandoned in favor of price-level or in‡ation ta...

In this work we shall investigate quantum query complexity of weak PARITY problem. Weak Parity is the following natural query problem: What is the minimum number of queries necessary to compute PARITY(x1, x2, x3, . . . , xn) on at least 1 2 + fraction of the inputs. For randomized classical or exact quantum machines this relaxed PARITY problem remains as hard as original PARITY problem. Althoug...

A new method to assay protein poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation was proposed based on the interaction between the substrate of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and gold nanoparticles, which needed no coupled enzymes or other modified catalytic substrate.

In this paper we work in the framework of a k-dimensional vector of log-linear risks. Under weak conditions on the marginal tails and the dependence structure of a vector of positive risks we derive the asymptotic tail behaviour of the aggregated risk and present an application concerning log-normal risks with stochastic volatility.

A run-relaxed weak queue by Elmasry et al. (2005) is a priority queue data structure with insert and decrease-key in O(1) as well as delete and delete-min in O(log n) worst-case time. One further advantage is the small space consumption of 3n+O(log n) pointers. In this paper we propose rank-relaxed weak queues, reducing the number of rank violations nodes for each level to a constant, while pro...

Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation is a posttranslational protein modification, which is catalyzed by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) and plays a role in DNA repair and maintenance of genomic stability. A decrease in cellular poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation has been implicated in the aging process. As PARP-1 is a zinc finger protein its decreased function might be related to age-related zinc deficiency. To t...
