The Doomsday argument purports to show that the risk of the human species going extinct soon has been systematically underestimated. This argument has something in common with controversial forms of reasoning in other areas, including: game theoretic problems with imperfect recall, the methodology of cosmology, the epistemology of indexical belief, and the debate over so-called fine-tuning argu...

the rank-k numerical range has a close connection to the construction of quantum error correction code for a noisy quantum channel. for noisy quantum channel, a quantum error correcting code of dimension k exists if and only if the associated joint rank-k numerical range is non-empty. in this paper the notion of joint rank-k numerical range is generalized and some statements of [2011, generaliz...

Trivers and Willard predicted that when parental condition has differential effects on the fitness of male and female offspring, parents who are in good condition will bias investment toward the sex that benefits most from additional investment. Efforts to test predictions derived from Trivers and Willard's model have had mixed results, perhaps because most studies have relied on proxy measures...

DESIGN Observational retrospective study of a prospectively recruited cohort. SETTING Italian Register for HIV Infection in Children. PATIENTS A group of 216 children perinatally infected with HIV-1, born in 1992-1997 and derived prospectively ...

Actuaries have long been interested in the forecasting of mortality for purpose pricing and reserving pensions annuities. Most models age year death, often birth, are not identifiable so actuaries worried about what constraints should be used to give sensible estimates death parameters, and, if required, birth parameters. These parameters were then forecast with an ARIMA model required forecast...
