Bioremediation has been argued to be one of the most cost-effective remediation technologies available to reduce soil, sediment, or groundwater contamination, particularly because this approach may allow for the implementation of in-place strategies. Recent trends have advocated the application of innovative sediment stabilization strategies through placement of (reactive) capping material to a...

Lianas (woody vines) are particularly abundant in tropical forests, and their abundance is increasing in the neotropics. Lianas can compete intensely with trees for above- and belowground resources, including water. As tropical forests experience longer and more intense dry seasons, competition for water is likely to intensify. However, we lack an understanding of how liana abundance affects so...

The wavelet variance provides a scale-based decomposition of the process variance for a time series or a random field and has been used to analyze various multi-scale processes. Examples of such processes include atmospheric pressure, deviations in time as kept by atomic clocks, soil properties in agricultural plots, snow fields in the polar regions and brightness temperature maps of South Paci...

In this note we show that for an arbitrary semisimple Lie group and any admissible irreducible Banach representation the Mellin transforms of Whittaker functions extend to meromorphic functions. We determine the possible poles.

We study a 3–parametric family of stochastic point processes on the one–dimensional lattice originated from a remarkable family of representations of the infinite symmetric group. We prove that the correlation functions of the processes are given by determinantal formulas with a certain kernel. The kernel can be expressed through the Gauss hypergeometric function; we call it the hypergeometric ...
