Effective design of marine reserves: incorporating alongshore currents, size structure, and uncertainty by Reimer, J

“…We then use this approximation to obtain results on extinction using two different approaches, which we can compare to the baseline IBM; the first approach is based on the Central Limit Theorem and provides efficient simulation results, and the second modifies a simple Galton-Watson branching process to include loss outside the reserve area. …”

Asymptotic properties of the branching random walk by Biggins, J

“…The convergence of one of these martingales is shown to be closely related to some known results on the growth rate of age-dependent branching process.</p> <p>If B⁽ⁿ⁾ is the position of the person on the extreme left of the nth generation then it is shown in the second chapter that B⁽ⁿ⁾/n &amp;rightarrow;γ for some constant γ when the process survives. …”

A deep Gaussian Process model for seismicity rates by Muir, J, Zachary, R

Efficient Induction of Syncytiotrophoblast Layer II Cells from Trophoblast Stem Cells by Canonical Wnt Signaling Activation by Dongmei Zhu, Xia Gong, Liyun Miao, Junshun Fang, Jian Zhang

“…Furthermore, HGF-expressing cells lie adjacent to SynT-II cells in developing murine placenta, suggesting that HGF/c-MET signaling plays a critical role in SynT-II cell morphogenesis during the labyrinth branching process. The availability of SynT-II cells in vitro will facilitate molecular understanding of labyrinth layer development. : Zhu and colleagues successfully induce mouse syncytiotrophoblast (SynT) layer II cells from trophoblast stem cells by activation of canonical Wnt signaling. …”

Impact of cross-border-associated cases on the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic in Switzerland during summer 2020 and 2021 by Martina L. Reichmuth, Emma B. Hodcroft, Julien Riou, Richard A. Neher, Niel Hens, Christian L. Althaus

“…We used a stochastic branching process model that accounts for superspreading of SARS-CoV-2 to simulate epidemic trajectories in absence and in presence of imports during summer 2020 and 2021.The Swiss Federal Office of Public Health reported 22,919 and 145,840 confirmed cases of SARS-CoV-2 from 1 June to 30 September 2020 and 2021, respectively. …”

The fate of recessive deleterious or overdominant mutations near mating-type loci under partial selfing by Tezenas, Emilie, Giraud, Tatiana, Véber, Amandine, Billiard, Sylvain

“…In particular, under what conditions deleterious mutations are likely to be maintained for long enough near mating-compatibility genes remains to be evaluated, especially under selfing, which generally increases the purging rate of deleterious mutations. Using a branching process approximation, we studied the fate of a new deleterious or overdominant mutation in a diploid population, considering a locus carrying two permanently heterozygous mating-type alleles, and a partially linked locus at which the mutation appears. …”

Relative role of border restrictions, case finding and contact tracing in controlling SARS-CoV-2 in the presence of undetected transmission: a mathematical modelling study by Rachael Pung, Hannah E. Clapham, Timothy W. Russell, CMMID COVID-19 Working Group, Vernon J. Lee, Adam J. Kucharski

“…Methods Combining data on notified local COVID-19 cases with known and unknown sources of infections in Singapore with a branching process model, we reconstructed the incidence of missed infections during the early phase of the wild-type SARS-CoV-2 and Delta variant transmission. …”

Comments about some species abundance patterns: classic, neutral, and niche partitioning models Comentários sobre alguns padrões de espécie-abundância: modelos clássicos, neutros e... by FC. Ferreira, M. Petrere-Jr.

“…Broadly speaking, one can recognize five families of species abundance models: i) purely statistical or classic models (Broken-stick, Log-normal, Logarithmic and Geometric series); ii) branching process (Zipf-Mandelbrot and Fractal branching models); iii) population dynamics (Neutral models included); iv) spatial distribution of individuals (Multifractal and HEAP models) and v) niche partitioning (Sugihara's breakage and Tokeshi models). …”

Growth of Levy trees by Duquesne, T, Winkel, M

“…We construct random locally compact real trees called Levy trees that are the genealogical trees associated with continuous-state branching processes. More precisely, we define a growing family of discrete Galton-Watson trees with i.i.d. exponential branch lengths that is consistent under Bernoulli percolation on leaves; we define the Levy tree as the limit of this growing family with respect to the Gromov-Hausdorff topology on metric spaces. …”

Recognition and location of marine animal sounds using two-stream ConvNet with attention by Shaoxiang Hu, Rong Hou, Zhiwu Liao, Peng Chen

“…We design a Two-Stream ConvNet with Attention (TSCA) model, which is a two-stream model combined with attention, in which one branch processes the temporal signal and the other branch processes the frequency domain signal; It makes good use of the characteristics of high time resolution of time domain signal and high recognition rate of frequency domain signal features of sound, and it realizes rapid localization and recognition of sound of marine species. …”
