Cellular automaton models for time-correlated random walks: derivation and analysis

J. M. Nava-Sedeno, H. Hatzikirou, R. Klages +1

Many diffusion processes in nature and society were found to be anomalous, in the sense of being fundamentally different from conventional Brownian motion. An important example is…

Cograph Editing: Merging Modules is equivalent to Editing P4's

Marc Hellmuth, Adrian Fritz, Nicolas Wieseke +1

The modular decomposition of a graph does not contain prime modules if and only if is a cograph, that is, if no quadruple of vertices induces a simple connected path…

Avian photoreceptor patterns represent a disordered hyperuniform solution to a multiscale packing problem

Yang Jiao, Timothy Lau, Haralampos Hatzikirou +3

Optimal spatial sampling of light rigorously requires that identical photoreceptors be arranged in perfectly regular arrays in two dimensions. Examples of such perfect arrays in na…

Methods for scoring the collective effect of SNPs: Minor alleles of common SNPs quantitatively affect traits/diseases and are under both positive and negative selection

Dejian Yuan, Zuobin Zhu, Xiaohua Tan +21

Most common SNPs are popularly assumed to be neutral. We here developed novel methods to examine in animal models and humans whether extreme amount of minor alleles (MAs) carried b…
