I read with great interest the recent article by DELCROIX et al. [1] on vascular and right ventricular remodelling in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). I found it very informative; however, I would like to comment on some of the statements that were made. In relation to pulmonary vascular remodelling, the authors have stated that in spite of there being proportionally more ...

We present results for QCD with 2 degenerate flavours of quark using a non-perturbatively improved action on a lattice volume of 16 × 32 where the bare gauge coupling and bare dynamical quark mass have been chosen to maintain a fixed physical lattice spacing and volume (1.71 fm). By comparing measurements from these matched ensembles, including quenched ones, we find evidence of dynamical quark...

Assuming the equivalence of FRW-cosmological models and their Newtonian counterparts, we propose using the Gauss law in arbitrary dimension a general relation between the Newtonian gravitational constant G and the gravitational coupling constant κ.

We investigate some extremal cases of exactness constant and completely bounded projection constant. More precisely, for an n-dimensional operator space E we prove that λcb(E) = √ n if and only if ex(E) = √ n, which is equivalent to λcb(E) < √ n if and only if ex(E) < √ n.

When action potentials from a stimulated biological preparation are recorded i t is essential to isolate the stimulus resistively and capacitively from the ground in order to minimize stimulation artifacts. Such isolation can be achieved by using a transformer of special low-capacitance construction in the output of a stimulus generator (Donaldson 1958). The most widely used arrangement for the...

This vignette describes infrastructure for regression and classification trees with simple constant fits in each of the terminal nodes. Thus, all observations that are predicted to be in the same terminal node also receive the same prediction, e.g., a mean for numeric responses or proportions for categorical responses. This class of trees is very common and includes all traditional tree variant...

For a convex body K ⊂ Rn, the kth projection function of K assigns to any k-dimensional linear subspace of Rn the k-volume of the orthogonal projection of K to that subspace. Let K and K0 be convex bodies in Rn, and let K0 be centrally symmetric and satisfy a weak regularity and curvature condition (which includes all K0 with ∂K0 of class C2 with positive radii of curvature). Assume that K and ...

While the relationship of time and space is an established topic in traditional centralised complexity theory, this is not the case in distributed computing. We aim to remedy this by studying the time and space complexity of algorithms in a weak message-passing model of distributed computing. While a constant number of communication rounds implies a constant number of states visited during the ...
