A random walk version of Robbins' problem: small horizon

Description: This article considers an analogous problem in which the observed random variables are the steps of a symmetric random walk. Assuming continuously distributed step sizes, it describes the optimal stopping rules for the cases n = 2 and n = 3 in two versions of the problem: a "full information" version in which the actual steps of the random walk are disclosed to the decision maker; and a "partial information" version in which only the relative ranks of the positions taken by the random walk are … more

Identification and characterization of a core set of ROS wave‐associated transcripts involved in the systemic acquired acclimation response of Arabidopsis to excess light

Description: Article reveal that the systemic transcriptomic response of plants to excess light stress is extensive in the context of systemic acquired acclimation and involves an early (2 min) and transient stage of transcript expression that includes thousands of genes.

Uniformly de Bruijn Sequences and Symbolic Diophantine Approximation on Fractals

Description: Article expanding the Intrinsic Diophantine approximation on fractals first proposed by K. Mahler (1984). This article describes and develops the theory of infinite de Bruijn sequences and answers questions related to Hausdorff dimension, Diophantine approximation, Dirichlet function, and height function.

Foias Numbers

Description: This article identifies the principal features in Foias’ original proof and streamlines them into a general result. The result gives further evidence to the observation that the connection between the sequence with initial seed the Foias constant and the Prime Number Theorem must be fortuitous.

Methods and Results From the Genome-Wide Association Group at Genetic Analysis Workshop 20

Description: This article summarizes the contributions from the Genome-wide Association Study group (GWAS group) of the GAW20. The GWAS group contributions focused on topics such as association tests, phenotype imputation, and application of empirical kinships. This summary article reports on promising statistical approaches and findings of the members of the GWAS group applied on real and simulated data which encompass the current topics of epigenetic and pharmacogenomics.

Local and Systemic Metabolic Responses during Light-Induced Rapid Systemic Signaling

Description: This article reports that local application of light stress to one rosette leaf of bolting Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) plants resulted in a metabolic response that encompassed local, systemic and transport tissues, demonstrating a high degree of physical and metabolic continuity between different tissues throughout the plant.
