Time-dependent branching processes
Recently, neuronal avalanches have been observed to display oscillations, a phenomenon regarded as the co-existence of a scale-free behaviour (the avalanches close to criticality) and scale-dependent dynamics (the oscillations)....

The extended hypergeometric class of Lévy processes
We review and extend the class of hypergeometric Lévy processes explored in Kuznetsov and Pardo (2013) with a view to computing fluctuation identities related to stable processes. We give the Wiener-Hopf factorisation of a...

Long non-coding RNAs in the regulation of the immune response
J.A. Heward, M.A. Lindsay
Sep 01, 2014
It is increasingly clear that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate a variety biological responses, and that they do so by a diverse range of mechanisms. In the field of immunology, recent publications have shown widespread...

Concordant and divergent strategies to improve postprandial glucose and lipid metabolism
Following ingestion of a mixed-macronutrient meal, blood glucose and triacylglycerol (TAG) concentrations are elevated for approximately 2 and 8 hours respectively, depending on factors such as the amount and type of food...

Towards an understanding of when non-climate frames can generate public support for climate change policy
There is a growing tendency for policy makers to frame climate change action in terms of non-climate benefits, raising important empirical questions regarding the utility of such approaches. Across three studies we explore...

Volume explored by a branching random walk on general graphs.
Branching processes are used to model diverse social and physical scenarios, from extinction of family names to nuclear fission. However, for a better description of natural phenomena, such as viral epidemics in cellular...

Confinement in nonlocal interaction equations
We investigate some dynamical properties of nonlocal interaction equations. We consider sets of particles interacting pairwise via a potential W, as well as continuum descriptions of such systems. The typical potentials we...

Entropy Production in Exactly Solvable Systems.
The rate of entropy production by a stochastic process quantifies how far it is from thermodynamic equilibrium. Equivalently, entropy production captures the degree to which global detailed balance and time-reversal symmetry are...

Convergent evolution of chromosomal sex-determining regions in the animal and fungal kingdoms
Sexual identity is governed by sex chromosomes in plants and animals, and by mating type (MAT) loci in fungi. Comparative analysis of the MAT locus from a species cluster of the human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus revealed...

Run-and-tumble motion in a harmonic potential
Abstract: Run-and-tumble (RnT) motion is an example of active motility where particles move at constant speed and change direction at random times. In this work we study RnT motion with diffusion in a harmonic potential in one...

Local environment but not genetic differentiation influences biparental care in ten plover populations
Social behaviours are highly variable between species, populations and individuals. However, it is contentious whether behavioural variations are primarily moulded by the environment, caused by genetic differences, or a...
