An interesting family of curves of genus 1 by Andrew Bremner

“…In the former case, all integral solutions are determined; in the latter case, computation in the range 1≤t≤999 shows large ranks are common, giving a particularly simple example of curves which (admittedly over a small range) apparently contradict the once held belief that the rank under specialization will tend to have minimal rank consistent with the parity predicted by the Selmer conjecture.…”

Markovian extensions and reductions of a family of σ-algebras by Jelena Bulatovic Gill

“…In the second part, solutions of the following two problems (that follow directly from the realization problem) are given: how to find the minimal (resp. maximal) markovlan flow of information (understood as a family of σ-algebras) that contains (resp. is contained in) given output of a system, and is such that each of these two flows of information is equally predictable by the other one.…”

A note on the use of optimal control on a discrete time model of influenza dynamics by Paula A. González-Parra, Sunmi Lee, Leticia Velázquez, Carlos Castillo-Chavez

“…A discrete time Susceptible - Asymptomatic - Infectious - Treated - Recovered (SAITR) model is introduced in the context of influenza transmission.We evaluate the potential effect of control measures such as social distancing and antiviral treatment on the dynamics of a single outbreak.Optimal control theory is applied to identify the best way of reducing morbidity and mortality at a minimal cost. The problem is solved by using a discrete version of Pontryagin's maximum principle. …”

Retroperitoneal Fat Necrosis in Response to an Episode of Acute Pancreatitis by M. B. Gilani, T. Akcan, M. Peterson, A. Zahid

“…Acute pancreatitis can result in fat necrosis, typically occurring in the peripancreatic region within weeks to months, and it generally appears as a low attenuation collection, with minimal heterogeneity. There are no specific imaging features that can diagnose retroperitoneal fat necrosis which may imitate other entities including certain malignancies, which may lead to invasive studies for diagnosis. …”
