We introduce a class of functions in high dimensions which have themaximum effective dimension, then prove that generalized Sobol’sequences provide theO(N−1) convergence rate for the integration of this class of functions. An important consequence is that high-dimensional problems for which quasi-Monte Carlo outperforms Monte Carlo are not necessarily of low-effective dimension. © 2005 Elsevier...

Theophylline has emerged as a major prophylactic agent for controlling the symptoms of chronic asthma, but it provides little if any relief of pulmonary symptoms caused by irreversible chronic airways obstruction. Although in vitro it inhibits phosphodiesterase and antagonizes adenosine receptors, theophylline's mechanism of action in asthma is unknown. Often, 10 to 20 micrograms/ml is used as ...

This Theo Murphy Meeting Issue contains papers presented at a Discussion Meeting held at the Kavli Centre of the Royal Society in March 2012. The meeting brought together a wide variety of scientists working on different aspects of small-molecule endofullerenes--those intriguing chemical systems in which small molecules such as H₂ or H₂O are encapsulated in tiny carbon cages.
