Selected topics on quadrature domains ?

This is a selection of facts, old and new, about quadrature domains. The text, written in the form of a survey, is addressed to non-experts and covers a variety of phenomena related to quadrature domains. Such as: the difference between quadrature domains for subharmonic, harmonic and respectively complex analytic functions, geometric properties of the boundary, instability in the reverse Hele-...

Time variation of some selected topics in bioethical publications.

OBJECTIVE To analyse the time variation of topics in bioethical publications as a proxy of the relative importance. METHODS We searched the Medline database for bioethics publications using the words "ethics or bioethics", and for 360 specific topics publications, associating Medical Subject Heading topic descriptors to those words. We calculated the ratio of bioethics publications to the tot...

Selected Topics on Distributed Video Coding

Distributed Video Coding (DVC) is a new paradigm for video compression based on the information theoretical results of Slepian and Wolf (SW), and Wyner and Ziv (WZ). While conventional coding has a rigid complexity allocation as most of the complex tasks are performed at the encoder side, DVC enables a flexible complexity allocation between the encoder and the decoder. The most novel and intere...

Selected topics on Hadrons in Nuclei

In this talk we report on selected topics on hadrons in nuclei. The first topic is the renormalization of the width of the Λ(1520) in a nuclear medium. This is followed by a short update of the situation of the ω in the medium. The investigation of the properties of K̄ in the nuclear medium from the study of the (Kflight, p) reaction is also addressed, as well as properties of X,Y,Z charmed and ...
