Mesons versus quasi-normal modes: Undercooling and overheating (2008)
Journal Article
Paredes, A., Peeters, K., & Zamaklar, M. (2008). Mesons versus quasi-normal modes: Undercooling and overheating. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2008(05), Article 027. https://doi.org/10.1088/1126-6708/2008/05/027

In holographic models of gauge theories with matter, there generically exists a first order phase transition in which mesons dissociate. We perform a careful analysis of the meson and quasi-particle spectra in the overheated resp. undercooled regimes... Read More about Mesons versus quasi-normal modes: Undercooling and overheating.

Prior viability assessment for Bayesian analysis (2008)
Journal Article
Goldstein, M., & Seheult, A. H. (2008). Prior viability assessment for Bayesian analysis. Journal of Statistical Planning and Inference, 138(5), 1271-1286. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jspi.2007.04.023

We address the problem of determining whether the cost of a proposed Bayesian analysis is likely to be justified by the potential benefit. A method is described for identifying the likely order of magnitude benefits from the analysis, and this approa... Read More about Prior viability assessment for Bayesian analysis.

Poiseuille flow in a fluid overlying a porous medium (2008)
Journal Article
Hill, A., & Straughan, B. (2008). Poiseuille flow in a fluid overlying a porous medium. Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 603, 137-149. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0022112008000852

This paper numerically investigates the instability of Poiseuille flow in a fluid overlying a porous medium saturated with the same fluid. A three-layer configuration is adopted. Namely, a Newtonian fluid overlying a Brinkman porous transition layer,... Read More about Poiseuille flow in a fluid overlying a porous medium.

Dynamical implications of Viral Tiling Theory (2008)
Journal Article
Elsawy, K., Taormina, A., Twarock, R., & Vaughan, L. (2008). Dynamical implications of Viral Tiling Theory. Journal of Theoretical Biology, 252(2), 357-369. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtbi.2008.02.003

The Caspar–Klug classification of viruses whose protein shell, called viral capsid, exhibits icosahedral symmetry, has recently been extended to incorporate viruses whose capsid proteins are exclusively organised in pentamers. The approach, named ‘Vi... Read More about Dynamical implications of Viral Tiling Theory.

Almost positive curvature on the Gromoll-Meyer sphere (2008)
Journal Article
Eschenburg, J., & Kerin, M. (2008). Almost positive curvature on the Gromoll-Meyer sphere. Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, 136(9), 3263-3270. https://doi.org/10.1090/s0002-9939-08-09429-x

Gromoll and Meyer have represented a certain exotic 7-sphere Σ7 as a biquotient of the Lie group G = Sp(2). We show for a 2-parameter family of left invariant metrics on G that the induced metric on Σ7 has strictly positive sectional curvature at all...

A unifying approach to integration for bounded positive charges (2008)
Journal Article
de Cooman, G., Troffaes, M., & Miranda, E. (2008). A unifying approach to integration for bounded positive charges. Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, 340(2), 982-999. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmaa.2007.09.026

This paper deals with n-monotone functionals, which constitute a generalisation of n-monotone set functions. Using the notion of exactness of a functional, we introduce a new notion of lower and upper integral which subsumes as particular cases most...

A New Weighted Rank Correlation (2008)
Journal Article
Maturi, T., & Abdelfattah, E. (2008). A New Weighted Rank Correlation. Journal of mathematics and statistics, 4(4), 226-230. https://doi.org/10.3844/jmssp.2008.226.230

Problem Statement: There have been many cases in real life where two independent sources have ranked n objects, with the interest focused on agreement in the top rankings. Spearman's rho and Kendall's tau coefficients assigned equal weights to all ra... Read More about A New Weighted Rank Correlation.
