The Two-Colour Rado Number for the Equation ax + by = (a + b)z
No full textFor relatively prime positive integers a and b, let n = R(a,b) denote the least positive integer such that every 2-colouring of [1, n] admits a monochromatic solution to ax + by = (a + b)z with x, y, z distinct integers. It is known that R(a,b) ≤ 4(a+b) +1. We show that R(a,b) = 4(a+b) +1, except when (a, b) = (3, 4) or (a, b) = (1, 4k) for some k≥1, and R(a,b) = 4(a+b) − 1 in these exceptional cases
Sequential sampling for functional estimation via Sieve
No full textSequential sampling methods are often used to estimate functions describing models subjected to time-intensive simulations or expensive experiments. These methods provide guidelines for point selection in the domain to capture maximum information about the function. However, in most sequential sampling methods, determining a new point is a time-consuming process. In this paper, we propose a new method, named Sieve, to sequentially select points of an initially unknown function based on the definition of proper intervals. In contrast with existing methods, Sieve does not involve function estimation at each iteration. Therefore, it presents a greater computational efficiency for achieving a given accuracy in estimation. Sieve brings in tools from computational geometry to subdivide regions of the domain efficiently. Further, we validate our proposed method through numerical simulations and two case studies on the calibration of internal combustion engines and the optimal exploration of an unknown environment by a mobile robot

Report of Another Mutation Proven Case of Carbonic Anhydrase II Deficiency
No full textCarbonic anhydrase (CA) II deficiency results in an uncommon type of autosomal recessive sclerosing bone dysplasia with renal tubular acidosis and intracerebral calcification. We report a classic case of CA II-associated osteopetrosis with a previously reported homozygous frameshift mutation. Child was evaluated for short stature and failure to thrive. He was diagnosed as osteopetrosis in view of the presence of hepatosplenomegaly and increased bone density though hematological parameters were normal. Further evaluation showed presence of associated distal renal tubular acidosis raising a possibility of CA II deficiency. Mutation analysis revealed a previously reported homozygous frameshift mutation c.143-146delCTGT (p.Ser48Phefs 9) in CA2. Child has normal growth after initiation of alkali therapy
Data for Gupta et al., "Estimating the Meridional Extent of Adiabatic Mixing in the Stratosphere using Age-of-Air", JGR:Atmospheres,
No full textModel data and post-processed data supporting the creation of the manuscript "Estimating the Meridional Extent of Adiabatic Mixing in the Stratosphere using Age-of-Air" submitted to JGR:Atmospheres in August 2022.
1) The netCDF files created through post-processing of full model data in FORTRAN are shared in the /data/ directory. These file contains the zonal mean circulation statistics based on Gupta et al. (2020), age-of-air transport diagnostics based on Linz et al. (2021), and the novel \Gamma-\Theta circulation streamfunction introduced in this study. The /data/ directory also contains MATLAB .mat data files for the transport diagnostics obtained from WACCM. 150 days of actual GFDL-FV3 model data in the northern hemisphere, between 0.1 hPa-500 hPa pressure levels is also provided to support external computations and validation.
2) The Jupyter notebook used for final computation and figures production is provided in .ipynb, .html and .pdf formats in /code/. All the files referred to in the notebook are stored in the /data/ directory.
