Here we have examined the voltage and pH dependence of unitary Slo3 channels and used analysis of current variance to define Slo3 unitary current properties over a broader range of voltages. Despite complexity in Slo3 channel openings that precludes simple definition of the unitary conductance, average current through single Slo3 channels varies linearly with voltage at positive activation pote...

We develop randomized block coordinate descent (CD) methods for linearly constrained convex optimization. Unlike other large-scale CD methods, we do not assume the constraints to be separable, but allow them be coupled linearly. To our knowledge, ours is the first CD method that allows linear coupling constraints, without making the global iteration complexity have an exponential dependence on ...

In this paper we examine the spatio-temporal dynamics of two nonlinearly coupled wave triplets sharing two common modes. Our basic findings are the following. When spatial dependence is absent, the homogeneous manifold so obtained can be chaotic or regular. If chaotic, it drives energy diffusion from long to small wavelengths as soon as inhomogeneous perturbations are added to the system. If re...

In Tore Supra plasmas with fast wave electron heating, a critical threshold in the electron temperature gradient (inverted DeltaT(e)) is clearly observed, i.e., a finite value of inverted DeltaT(e) for which the turbulent heat diffusivity vanishes. The radial profile of this critical gradient is experimentally determined from a set of discharges characterized by similar plasma parameters with f...

This paper studies Value at Risk (VaR) bounds for sums of stochastically dependent random variables, i.e. portfolios of correlated financial assets. The bounds hold under no restrictions on the dependence or on the marginal distributions of returns. An improvement of the bounds is given for positive (quadrant) dependent rvs. Both sets of bounds are computed for portfolios of 6 international ind...

In this paper we begin the first systematic study of distributions of quadrant marked mesh patterns. Mesh patterns were introduced recently by Brändén and Claesson in connection with permutation statistics. Quadrant marked mesh patterns are based on how many elements lie in various quadrants of the graph of a permutation relative to the coordinate system centered at one of the points in the gra...

Symmetric Teleparallel Gravity is an exceptional theory of gravity that consistent with the vanishing affine connection. This alternative and a simpler geometrical formulation general relativity, where non-metricity $Q$ drives gravitational interaction. Our interest lies in exploring cosmological bouncing scenarios flat Friedmann-Lima\^itre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) spacetime within this framewor...

MATERIALS AND METHODS: All patients undergoing reconstruction following primary BCC excision of the nasal alae were recruited through a single institution. Patient demographics, details of resection and reconstruction were recorded. Positive margins were scored using a quadrant-based directionality system. Defect size was classified as large or small stratified by median defect area. Fisher’s e...
