Given the reproducing kernel k of the Hilbert space Hk we study spaces Hk(b) whose reproducing kernel has the form k(1−bb⁎), where b is a row-contraction on Hk. In terms of reproducing kernels this is the most far-reaching generalization of the classical de Branges-Rovnyaks spaces, as well as their very recent generalization to several variables. This includes the so called sub-Bergman spaces [31]
Canopy decline is increasingly prevalent in high-elevation snow gum (Eucalyptus pauciflora) forests across the Australian Alps. This phenomenon, known as snow gum dieback, is associated with infestations by the wood-boring beetle, Phoracantha mastersi. The larvae of this beetle create feeding galleries in the tree trunk, leading to the exudation of kino, a tannin-rich resin produced as a defense r
This article examines the benefits and pitfalls of using topic modeling to analyze discursive changes in sixteenth- and eighteenth-century German midwifery books. These periods were marked by transformations in the perspectives of midwives’ knowledge and practices, providing important insight into how midwifery was discussed as a field between private practice and public legitimization. By highlig
The traditional approach to quantum parameter estimation focuses on the quantum state, deriving fundamental bounds on precision through the quantum Fisher information. In most experimental settings, however, performing arbitrary quantum measurements is highly unfeasible. In open quantum systems, an alternative approach to metrology involves the measurement of stochastic currents flowing from the s
We study the time complexity of computing the (min,+) matrix product of two n×n integer matrices in terms of n and the number of monotone subsequences the rows of the first matrix and the columns of the second matrix can be decomposed into. In particular, we show that if each row of the first matrix can be decomposed into at most m1 monotone subsequences and each column of the second matrix can b
Modern Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies have a rapidly growing impact on a wide range of human activities. AI methods are being used in varied domains such as healthcare, material science, infrastructure engineering, social media, surveillance technologies, and even artistic expression. They have been used for the purposes of drug discovery via protein folding prediction, power usage opti
Background: Cystic fibrosis related diabetes (CFRD) is the most common comorbidity of cystic fibrosis (CF) still, its pathogenesis is poorly understood. Recent studies have suggested that although pancreatic insufficiency is an important explanation for CFRD development, inherent pancreatic islet cell dysfunction may play a role. This study aimed to systematically compile current data regarding th
This epilogue presents the main insights from Women’s PrivatePractices of Knowledge Production in Early Modern Europe, demonstratingthe key ways in which privacy factored into women’s knowledge-makingpractices. The chapter highlights women’s strategies of publicizing theprivate as a knowledge-sharing strategy, the role of the home in knowledgemaking in the early modern period, and the limitations
This chapter introduces the Privacy at Sea volume, demonstrating the contributions of privacy studies in researching early modern and maritime history. It provides a more dynamic understanding of privacy in the challenging environment of life at sea, focusing on the many strategies that enable people a certain level of negotiation and regulation of how information, bodies, behaviours, and accounts
This article addresses the ethical and epistemological challenges of interdisciplinary efforts through the interactional lens of proximity. How can we ensure interdisciplinarity in unequal institutional, disciplinary, and geopolitical environments? What does it mean to do research when epistemological frameworks clash between fields and sectors? Which echo chambers are perpetuated when we limit in
This article examines how privacy allowed agents to explore unsanctioned or controversial kinds of knowledge, as exemplified by August of Saxony’s handwritten book of healing charms (1585). By looking at how Elector August of Saxony (1526–86) selected and eliminated elements of charms for all kinds of afflictions, this article analyzes how popular knowledge could be transformed in private to fit t
This paper considers the beta exponential distribution as a distribution function of inefficacy score in a stochastic frontier model. The beta exponential distribution is a three-parameter distribution, and it is more flexible than commonly used probability density functions in a stochastic frontier model (SFM). This new model, a “Normal-Beta Exponential SFM”, nests another five SFMs. This paper p
Approximately 1.9 million Colombians lacked access to clean and reliable energy in 2020 due to residing in rural non-interconnected zones (NIZ). This lack of reliable electricity is compounded by their geographical isolation which makes them unable to access the National Interconnected System of energy (SIN). Renewable energy microgrids serve as a potential decentralised solution to provide clean
Understanding the role of intrinsic magnetic order on the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) requires careful consideration of the magnetic properties of both the catalytic surface and bulk under operating conditions. Because these often diverge from those of the pristine material, operando characterization that directly links magnetic behavior to catalytic activity is essential. Here, we investigate
Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) forms elongated micelles in urea:choline chloride deep eutectic solvent (DES), unlike its spherical aggregates in water. To understand the driving forces, we employed a multiscale simulation approach combining coarse-grained (CG) (Martini 3) and backmapped atomistic (CHARMM36) models. Simulations confirmed that micelle elongation increases with higher urea:choline chlo
Reflexivity constitutes a core professional competence in social work and needs to be promoted in social work education. In this case study of an autobiography-based course element, it is shown how social work students (n = 13) realized reflexivity from within (i) their experiences of engaging with autobiographical literature and (ii) their discussions of those experiences in peer groups. The case
The Siljan-Orsasjön Basin in south-central Sweden hosts two prominent lakes. A 100 m deep channel extends approximately 52 km across the basin but does not form a continuous connection between the lakes today. Geophysical mapping, including multibeam bathymetry and sub-bottom profiling, revealed several landslide areas associated with the steep slopes of this channel and redistributed mass-wasted
Background: Survivors of cardiac arrest often face multifaceted challenges—cognitive, emotional, physical, and existential—that extend beyond clinical recovery. Despite these long-term consequences, follow-up care is often insufficient, and access to reliable information and support remains limited. Broader initiatives to address post–cardiac arrest care are still lacking. This qualitative study rBackground: Survivors of cardiac arrest often face multifaceted challenges—cognitive, emotional, physical, and existential—that extend beyond clinical recovery.
