High megaherbivore species richness is documented in both fossil and contemporary ecosystems despite their high individual energy requirements. An extreme example of this is the Late Jurassic Morrison Formation, which was dominated by sauropod dinosaurs, the largest known terrestrial vertebrates. High sauropod diversity within the resource-limited Morrison is paradoxical, but might be explicabl...

We give an almost complete classification of empty lattice simplices in dimension 4 using the conjectural results of Mori-Morrison-Morrison, later proved by Sankaran and Bober. In particular, all of these simplices correspond to cyclic quotient singularities, and all but finitely many of them have width bounded by 2.

Reliable transmission of digital data is essential in today’s society given its role in technological advances such as transmission of satellite images, wireless communications, and data storage/retrieval. The aim of channel coding is to allow transmission of information over a noisy channel in such a way that the receiver can recover the original information. To accomplish this, some level of ...

Abstract Sethe Suggs, the protagonist in Toni Morrison’s novel Beloved, is often compared to Medea. The same analogy with Colchian princess was made by contemporaries relation Margaret Garner, historical person on whose life loosely based. An enslaved African-American woman mid-nineteenth century, Garner killed her own daughter after being found former owner and styled a ‘Modern Medea’ press. D...

she returns to time and time again in her many interviews and articles. In her reflections on motherhood, both inside and outside her fiction, Morrison articulates a fully developed theory of African American mothering that is central to her larger political and philosophical stance on black womanhood. Building upon black women’s experiences of, and perspectives on motherhood, Morrison develops...

In this paper, we develop conditions under which the Sherman–Morrison–Woodbury formula can be represented in the Moore–Penrose inverse and the generalized Drazin inverse forms. These results generalize the original Sherman–Morrison–Woodbury formula. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

We present some results on generalized inverses and their application to generalizations of the Sherman-Morrison-Woodbury-type formulae.
