Radial and circular slit maps of unbounded multiply connected circle domains
(The Royal Society, 2008-07-08)Infinite product formulae for conformally mapping an unbounded multiply connected circle domain to an unbounded canonical radial or circular slit domain, or to domains with both radial and circular slit boundary components ... -
Radial limits of bounded nonparametric prescribed mean curvature surfaces
(Pacific Journal of Mathematics, 2016-06-22)Consider a solution f is an element of C-2 (Omega)of a prescribed mean curvature equation div del f/root 1+vertical bar del f vertical bar(2) = 2H(x, f) in Omega, where Omega subset of R-2 is a domain whose boundary ... -

Ragged schools: Schools for Destitute Children
(Wichita State University, 2019-07)Throughout most of the 19th century, school was not mandatory for children living in the United Kingdom and only available to those who could afford the fees. Ragged schools were some of the very few institutions available ... -
Ramond-Ramond fields and twisted differential K-theory
(International Press of Boston, Inc., 2023-03-30)We provide a systematic approach to describing the Ramond-Ramond (RR) fields as elements in twisted differential K-theory. This builds on a series of constructions by the authors on geometric and computational aspects of ... -

A rangewide herbarium-derived dataset indicates high levels of gene flow in black cherry (Prunus serotina)
(Wiley, 2019-01-08)Isolation by Distance (IBD) is a genetic pattern in which populations geographically closer to one another are more genetically similar to each other than populations which are farther apart. Black cherry (Prunus serotina ... -
Rapid amino acid analysis of beers using flow-gated capillary electrophoresis coupled with side-by-side calibration
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017-08-21)Amino acid analysis is an important procedure to measure free amino acids (AAs) in various samples including proteins, blood plasma, urine, foods and beverages. Due to the complexity of these samples, chemical separations ... -
