The influence of the forest corridors to the north of the Andes on the diversification of the bright‐rumped Attila, Attila spadiceus (Passeriformes, Tyrannidae), during the climati... by Patrícia Mendonça, Lincoln Silva Carneiro, Victor Leandro‐Silva, Alexandre Aleixo, Juliana Araripe, Péricles S. Rêgo

“…Additionally, the analysis of population dynamics indicated a trend of increasing population size starting at 0.05 Ma for both lineages. Our findings highlight the significance of Pleistocene Forest corridors north of the Andes as the key factor maintaining communication before the separation of the lineages, likely associated with the retraction of this forest. …”

Experimental and Theoretical Study on the False Positive of Monomethyltin Determination in Toys Based on Gastric Juice Migration by Lina Huang, Hanke Li, Yuhang Li, Peng Ren, Lezhou Yi, Yang Chen, Tongmei Ma

“…Further, it is demonstrated that the detected amount of TEMT is linearly related with the added amount of NaB(Et)4, and that the formation of TEMT (methyl derivative) is easier than TeET (ethyl derivative) even though the ethyl group is present in a larger amount than the methyl group. …”

Positive Solutions for Three-Point Boundary Value Problem of Fractional Differential Equation with -Laplacian Operator by Shang-lin Yao, Guo-hui Wang, Zhi-ping Li, Li-jun Yu

“…By applying monotone iterative technique, some sufficient conditions for the existence of multiple positive solutions are established; moreover iterative schemes for approximating these solutions are also obtained, which start off a known simple linear function. In the end, an example is worked out to illustrate our main results.…”

Preconditioning Filter Bank Decomposition Using Structured Normalized Tight Frames by Martin Ehler

“…Unitary filter banks providing perfect reconstruction are induced by tight generalized frames, which enable signal decomposition using a set of linear operators. If, in addition, frame elements have equal norm, then the signal energy is spread through the various filter bank channels in some uniform fashion, which is often more suitable for further signal processing. …”
