    We consider the prescribed scalar curvature problem on SNΔSNv−N(N−2)2v+K~(y)vN+2N−2=0 on SN,v>0in SN, under the assumptions that the scalar curvature K~ is rotationally symmetric, and has a positive local maximum point between the poles. We prove the existence of infinitely many non-radial positive solutions, whose energy can be made arbitrarily large. These solutions are invariant under some non-trivial sub-group of O(3) obtained doubling the equatorial. We use the finite dimensional Lyapunov–Schmidt reduction method.

    E-scooter services have multiplied worldwide as a form of urban transport. Their use has grown so quickly that policymakers and researchers still need to understand their interrelation with other transport modes. At present, e-scooter services are primarily seen as a first-and-last-mile solution for public transport. However, we demonstrate that 50% of e-scooter trips are either substituting it or covering areas with little public transportation infrastructure. To this end, we have developed a novel data-driven methodology that autonomously classifies e-scooter trips according to their relation to public transit.

    We show that the compact quotient Γ∖G of a seven-dimensional simply connected Lie group G by a co-compact discrete subgroup Γ⊂G does not admit any exact G2-structure which is induced by a left-invariant one on G .

    Synovial fluid is made up of various biomacromolecules, including hyaluronic acid, aggrecans, lubricins, and phosphatidylcholine lipid, which are assembled onto the surface of articular cartilage in a gel state. Among them, brush-like biomacromolecules or assemblies have a vital effect on human joint lubrication. Inspired by this, the combination of brush-like molecular structures and gel-like assembly may be an efficient approach for the synthesis of biomimetic lubricating matters. Learning from the lubrication system of human joints, poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine) (PMPC) brushes grafted poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid) (poly(NIPAAm-co-AA)) microgels, abbreviated as MBs-g-MGs, were synthesized as one kind of biomimetic lubricating additives.

    In this paper, we extend the definition of a knotoid to multi-linkoids that consist of a finite number of knot and knotoid components. We study invariants of multi-linkoids, such as the Kauffman bracket polynomial, ordered bracket polynomial, the Kauffman skein module, and the T-invariant in relation with generalized Θ -graphs.

    In this article, we study the moduli of irregular surfaces of general type with at worst canonical singularities satisfying K2=4pg−8, for any even integer pg≥4. These surfaces also have unbounded irregularity q. We carry out our study by investigating the deformations of the canonical morphism φ:X→PN, where φ is a quadruple Galois cover of a smooth surface of minimal degree. These canonical covers are classified in Gallego and Purnaprajna (Trans Am Math Soc 360(10):5489-5507, 2008) into four distinct families, one of which is the easy case of a product of curves.

    Infant cry is one of the first distinctive and informative life signals observed after birth. Neonatologists and automatic assistive systems can analyse infant cry to early-detect pathologies. These analyses extensively use reference expert-curated databases containing annotated infant-cry audio samples. However, these databases are not publicly accessible because of their sensitive data. Moreover, the recorded data can under-represent specific phenomena or the operational conditions required by other medical teams. Additionally, building these databases requires significant investments that few hospitals can afford. This paper describes an open-source workflow for infant-cry detection, which identifies audio segments containing high-quality infant-cry samples with no other overlapp...

    Multi-output Gaussian processes (MOGPs) can help to improve predictive performance for some output variables, by leveraging the correlation with other output variables. In this paper, our main motivation is to use multiple-output Gaussian processes to exploit correlations between outputs where each output is a multi-class classification problem. MOGPs have been mostly used for multi-output regression. There are some existing works that use MOGPs for other types of outputs, e.g., multi-output binary classification.

    Verifying arithmetic circuits and most prominently multiplier circuits is an important problem which in practice is still considered to be challenging. One of the currently most successful verification techniques relies on algebraic reasoning. In this article, we present AMULET2, a fully automatic tool for verification of integer multipliers combining SAT solving and computer algebra. Our tool models multipliers given as and-inverter graphs as a set of polynomials and applies preprocessing techniques based on elimination theory of Gröbner bases.

    Using panel data from India, this paper investigates the effect of early maternal age on offspring human capital, contributing to the scarce evidence on this phenomenon, especially in the context of a developing country. The analysis relies on mother fixed effects to allow for unobserved differences between mothers and employs a variety of empirical strategies to address remaining sibling-specific concerns. Our results indicate that children born to young mothers are shorter for their age, with stronger effects for girls born to very young mothers. We also find some evidence suggesting that children born to very young mothers perform worse in math. By exploring the evolution of effects over time for the first time in the literature, we find that the height effect weakens as children...
