Multivariate Statistical Analysis in the Real and Complex Domains
Multivariate statistical analysis often proves to be a challenging subject for students. The difficulty arises in part from the reliance on several types of symbols such as subscripts, superscripts, bars, tildes, bold-face characters, lower- and uppercase Roman and Greek letters, and so on. However, resorting to such notations is necessary in order to refer to the various quantities involve…

Toward Good Simulation Practice
The term GxP indicates a collection of good practices, e.g., quality guidelines, to ensure that a product is safe and meets its intended use. The most important examples of GxP in biomedicine are Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and Good Clinical Practice (GCP). The GLP are curated by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD); they provide “a managerial quality c…

The Search for Ultralight Bosonic Dark Matter
To set the stage for our study of ultralight bosonic dark matter (UBDM), we review the evidence for the existence of dark matter: galactic and stellar dynamics, gravitational lensing studies, measurements of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB), surveys of the large-scale structure of the universe, and the observed abundance of light elements. This diverse array of observational …

Framing Global Mathematics
Recalling the century which preceded the founding of all the big international scientific unions which are still going strong today is more than a chore that one has to get out of the way before moving on to the real story; it is the only way to understand what these international unions could be in the first place, at the time of their creation, and how they could develop thereafter. The n…

Efficient Screening Techniques to Identify Mutants with TR4 Resistance in Banana
Mutagenesis of in vitro propagated bananas is an efficient method to introduce novel alleles and broaden genetic diversity. Mutations can be induced by treatment of plant cells with chemical mutagens or ionizing radiation. The FAO/IAEA Plant Breeding and Genetics Laboratory established efficient methods for mutation induction of in vitro shoot tips in banana using physical and chemical mut…

A Primer on Memory Consistency and Cache Coherence, Second Edition
Many modern computer systems, including homogeneous and heterogeneous architectures, support shared memory in hardware. In a shared memory system, each of the processor cores may read and write to a single shared address space. For a shared memory machine, the memory consistency model defines the architecturally visible behavior of its memory system. Consistency definitions provide rules ab…
