We consider the problem of Lp-consistent density estimation from the initial segments of strongly dependent processes. It is shown that no procedure can consistently estimate the one-dimensional marginal density of every stationary ergodic process for which such a density exists. A similar result is established for the problem of estimating the support of the marginal distribution of an ergodic...

This document presents arguments that conclude that it is unethical to use somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) for infertility treatment due to concerns about safety; the unknown impact of SCNT on children, families, and society; and the availability of other ethically acceptable means of assisted reproduction. This document replaces the ASRM Ethics Committee report titled, "Human somatic cell...

*Correspondence: [email protected] Department of Basic Sciences, Kyushu Institute of Technology, Tobata, Kitakyushu, 804-8550, Japan Abstract We introduce a new nonlinear mapping similar to the nonspreading mapping which is defined by Kohsaka and Takahashi (Arch. Math. 91:166-177, 2008). We prove fixed point theorems for such a mapping without the convexity of the domain. We also prove...

We report what is to our knowledge the first Nd:BaY2F8 (Nd:BaYF) laser pumped with a multiwatt fiber-coupled diode array tuned at approximately 804 nm. As much as 2.4 W were obtained with 6.2 W of absorbed pump power, showing efficient operation (51% slope efficiency), excellent beam quality (M2=1.1), and weak thermal lensing. Small intracavity losses (<1%) were measured, indicating both reduce...
