On the standard L-function for GSp2n × GL1 and algebraicity of symmetric fourth L-values for GL2 (open access)

On the standard L-function for GSp2n × GL1 and algebraicity of symmetric fourth L-values for GL2

This article proves an explicit integral representation—involving the pullback of a suitable Siegel Eisenstein series—for the twisted standard L-function associated to a holomorphic vector-valued Siegel cusp form of degree n and arbitrary level.

Existence and nonexistence of radial solutions for semilinear equations with bounded nonlinearities on exterior domains (open access)

Existence and nonexistence of radial solutions for semilinear equations with bounded nonlinearities on exterior domains

Article studies radial solutions of ∆u + K(r)f(u) = 0 on the exterior of the ball of radius R > 0 centered at the origin in ℝᶰ where f is odd with f < 0 on (0, β), f > 0 on (β, δ), f ≡ 0 for u > δ, and where the function K(r) is assumed to be positive and K(r) → 0 as r → ∞.

Existence of solutions for semilinear problems on exterior domains

Article proves the existence of an infinite number of radial solutions to ∆u+K(r)f(u) = 0 on ℝᶰ such that limᵣ →∞ u(r) = 0 with prescribed number of zeros on the exterior of the ball of radius R > 0 where f is odd with f < 0 on (0, β), f > 0 on (β, ∞) with f superlinear for large u, and K(r) ∼ r ⁻ᵅ with α > 2(N − 1).

On Polish groups admitting non-essentially countable actions (open access)

On Polish groups admitting non-essentially countable actions

Article addresses the question whether every Polish group that is not locally compact admits a Borel action on a standard Borel space whose associated orbit equivalence relation is not essentially countable. The authors e answer this question positively for the class of all Polish groups that embed in the isometry group of a locally compact metric space.

Systemic signaling during abiotic stress combination in plants (open access)

Systemic signaling during abiotic stress combination in plants

Article reveals that plants can integrate different local and systemic signals generated during conditions of stress combination. Furthermore, results show that the specific part at which plants sense the two co-occurring stresses makes a significant difference in how fast and efficient they acclimate.

Lipophilic signals lead to organ-specific gene expression changes in Arabidopsis seedlings

Article presents a study where whole transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) and differential expression analysis were used to identify early (1–3 hr) transcriptional changes induced by the exogenous treatment of NAE 18:2 and NAE 18:3 in cotyledons, roots, and seedlings.

TS: A powerful truncated test to detect novel disease associated genes using publicly available gWAS summary data

This article proposes a new truncated statistic method (TS) by utilizing a truncated method to find the genes that have a true contribution to the genetic association. The proposed truncated statistic outperforms existing methods. It can be employed to detect novel traits associated genes using GWAS summary data.

Adjustment for Local Ancestry in Genetic Association Analysis of Admixed Populations

Presentation on the consideration of local ancestry of admixed populations, or populations comprised of genetically distinct ancestral populations which can alter their gene flow in unique ways. It was presented at the UNT Transdisciplinary Conference on Ancestral Genomics Research which was held virtually on November 20-21, 2020.
