Feeding and growth variations affect δ13C and δ15N budgets during ontogeny in a lepidopteran larva by Charberet, Samuel M., Maria, Annick, Siaussat, David, Gounand, Isabelle, Mathieu, Jérôme

“…The various growth rates that were induced from these starvation levels resulted in a ∼ 1-1.5‰ within-trophic level variation of the trophic fractionation in both carbon and nitrogen, which is substantial compared to the 3-4‰ classically associated with between-trophic levels variations. …”

A Study of Failure Strength for Fiber-Reinforced Composite Laminates with Consideration of Interface by Junjie Ye, Yuanying Qiu, Xuefeng Chen, Yumin He, Zhi Zhai

“…In this paper, by incorporating the interface stress-displacement relations between fibers and matrix, as well as the viscoplastic constitutive model for describing plastic behaviors of matrix materials, a micromechanical model is used to investigate the failure strength of the composites with imperfect interface bonding. Meanwhile, the classic laminate theory, which provides the relation between micro- and macroscale responses for composite laminates, is employed. …”

Synthetic graphs for link prediction benchmarking by Alexey Vlaskin, Eduardo G Altmann

“…Our results on the performance of classical methods (e.g. Stochastic Block Models, Node2Vec, GraphSage) show that the performance of all methods correlate with the theoretical predictability, that no single method is universally superior, and that each of the methods exploit different characteristics known to exist in large classes of networks. …”

Inference of a Susceptible–Infectious stochastic model by Giuseppina Albano, Virginia Giorno, Francisco Torres-Ruiz

“…We pointed out that the time dependence in the infinitesimal moments of the diffusion process made classical inference methods inapplicable. The proposed procedure were based on the generalized method of moments in order to find a suitable estimate for the infinitesimal drift and variance of the transformed process. …”

From homogeneous metric spaces to Lie groups by Cowling, Michael G., Kivioja, Ville, Le Donne, Enrico, Nicolussi Golo, Sebastiano, Ottazzi, Alessandro

“…We study homogeneous metric spaces, by which we mean connected, locally compact metric spaces whose isometry group acts transitively.After a review of a number of classical results, we use the Gleason–Iwasawa–Montgomery–Yamabe–Zippin structure theory to show that for all positive $ \epsilon $, each such space is $ (1,\epsilon ) $-quasi-isometric to a connected metric Lie group (metrized with a left-invariant distance that is not necessarily Riemannian).Next, we develop the structure theory of Lie groups to show that every homogeneous metric manifold is homeomorphically roughly isometric to a quotient space of a connected amenable Lie group, and roughly isometric to a simply connected solvable metric Lie group.Third, we investigate solvable metric Lie groups in more detail, and expound on and extend work of Gordon and Wilson [31, 32] and Jablonski [44] on these, showing, for instance, that connected solvable Lie groups may be made isometric if and only if they have the same real-shadow.Finally, we show that homogeneous metric spaces that admit a metric dilation are all metric Lie groups with an automorphic dilation.…”
