Abstract. Time series discord has proven to be a useful concept for time-series anomaly identification. To search for discords, various algorithms have been developed. Most of these algorithms rely on prebuilding an index (such as a trie) for subsequences. Users of these algorithms are typically required to choose optimal values for word-length and/or alphabet-size parameters of the index, whic...

INTERPLAY OF MATHEMATICS AND PHYSICS: ATIYAH—SINGER INDEX THEORY AND GAUGE THEORIES OF PARTICLE PHYSICS: Atiyah—Singer Index Theory, which relates the solution space of certain types of partial differential equations (PDEs) to topological data of the PDE, is a highlight of modern mathematics. It also has major physical consequences in gauge theories of particle physics where it implies a connec...

We consider multiplet shortening for BPS solitons inN=1 two-dimensional models. Examples of the single-state multiplets were established previously in N=1 Landau-Ginzburg models. The shortening comes at a price of loosing the fermion parity (−1)F due to boundary effects. This implies the disappearance of the boson-fermion classification resulting in abnormal statistics. To count such short mult...

This study was designed to provide valuable insight into the temporal patterns of rainfall in Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria using data from 1991 – 2020 (30 years) collected Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NIMET), airport station, City. The were assessed based on 10 years interval (decade) identified as decadal A (1991-2000), B (2001-2010) and C (2011-2020). analysed descriptively charts graphs...

The atmospheric conditions that lead to strong offshore surface winds in Southern California, commonly referred to as Santa Ana winds, are investigated using the North American Regional Reanalysis and a 12-year, 6-km resolution regional climate simulation of Southern California. We first construct an index to characterize Santa Ana events based on offshore wind strength. This index is then used...

OBJECTIVES To determine whether offering cardiac screening to relatives of patients with left ventricular outflow tract obstructions (LVOTOs) would be justified. BACKGROUND LVOTOs have been recognised as a group of congenital heart diseases with 'high heritability'. One of the LVOTOs, the bicuspid aortic valve, is often asymptomatic, but has become known to be associated with sudden, unexpect...

Anomalies of Flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU) are uncommon and predominantly consist of abnormal insertion or extra tendinous bands. The presence of two separate bellies of FCU muscle with separate tendons has been termed as Digastric FCU. It is a very rare anomaly with only six previously reported cases and no report of clinical use of such anomalous muscle. We describe a case of anomalous FCU found...
