Host/pathogen interactions: series introduction.

Introduction: Multiple Dirichlet Series

This introductory article aims to provide a roadmap to many of the interrelated papers in this volume and to a portion of the field of multiple Dirichlet series, particularly emerging new ideas. It is both a survey of the recent literature, and an introduction to the combinatorial aspects of Weyl group multiple Dirichlet series, a class of multiple Dirichlet series that are not Euler products, ...

Introduction to time series analysis

A time series is a collection of observations ordered following a parameter that for us is time. Examples occur in a variety of fields (economics, engeneering, meteorology and so on...). For instance, economic time series include share prices on successive days, export totals in successive months, average incomes in successive months, company profits in successive years (see the graph below).

This is the first special issue of GBE dedicated to a focused meeting, and we hope that readers find it attractive. Our thanks go to all of the contributing authors. Special th...

Introduction to U - series Geochemistry

During the last century, the Earth Sciences underwent two major revolutions in understanding. The first was the recognition of the great antiquity of the Earth and the second was the development of plate tectonic theory. These leaps in knowledge moved geology from its largely descriptive origins and established the modern, quantitative, Earth sciences. For any science, and particularly for the ...
