Learning compositional sequences with multiple time scales through a hierarchical network of spiking neurons. by Amadeus Maes, Mauricio Barahona, Claudia Clopath

“…Sequential behaviour is often compositional and organised across multiple time scales: a set of individual elements developing on short time scales (motifs) are combined to form longer functional sequences (syntax). Such organisation leads to a natural hierarchy that can be used advantageously for learning, since the motifs and the syntax can be acquired independently. …”

Nitrogen deposition favors later leaf senescence in woody species by Jian Wang, Xiaoyue Wang, Josep Peñuelas, Hao Hua, Chaoyang Wu

“…Changes in climate conditions and nitrogen deposition levels jointly controlled the direction of date of foliar senescence trends (advance or delay). The spatial variability of nitrogen deposition effects can be related to plant traits (e.g., nitrogen resorption and use efficiencies), climatic conditions, and soil properties. …”

A MODEL OF AGE–STRUCTURED POPULATION UNDER STOCHASTIC PERTURBATION OF DEATH AND BIRTH RATES by Maxim A. Alshanskiy

“…Under consideration is construction of a model of age-structured population reflecting random oscillations of the death and birth rate functions. We arrive at an Itô-type difference equation in a Hilbert space of functions which can not be transformed into a proper Itô equation via passing to the limit procedure due to the properties of the operator coefficients. …”
