Giant cross-magnetic-field steps due to binary collisions between pair particles (open access)

Giant cross-magnetic-field steps due to binary collisions between pair particles

Article explores giant cross-magnetic-field steps which occur as a result of positron-electron collisions. Within a constant magnetic field (e.g., 1 T), a collision between a positron and an electron can result in a correlated drift across the magnetic field for a continuous range of impact parameters. Within this range, drift distances orders of magnitude larger than that associated with like-charge collisions were observed by computer simulation.

Molecular Markers of Neuropsychological Functioning and Alzheimer's Disease (open access)

Molecular Markers of Neuropsychological Functioning and Alzheimer's Disease

Article examines molecular markers of neuropsychological functioning among elders with and without Alzheimer's disease (AD) and determine the predictive ability of combined molecular markers and select neuropsychological tests in detecting disease presence. This work provides the foundation for the generation of a point‐of‐care device that can be used to screen for AD.

Loitering at the hilltop on exterior domains

In this article, the author proves the existence of an infinite number of radial solutions of Δu+f(u)=0 on the exterior of the ball of radius R>0 centered at the origin and f is odd with f<0 on (0,β), f>0 on (β,δ), and f≡0 for u>δ. The primitive F(u)=∫u0f(t)dt has a "hilltop" at u=δ which allows one to use the shooting method and ODE techniques to prove the existence of solutions.
