Composition of entire function and analytic functions in the unit ball with a vanished gradient by A. I. Bandura, T. M. Salo, O. B. Skaskiv

“…The obtained results complement earlier published results with $\mathop{grad}\Phi(z)=(\frac{\partial \Phi(z)}{\partial z_1}, \ldots, \frac{\partial \Phi(z)}{\partial z_j},\ldots,\frac{\partial \Phi(z)}{\partial z_n})\ne \mathbf{0}.$ Also, we study a more general composition $H(\mathbf{w})=G(\mathbf{\Phi}(\mathbf{w}))$, where $G: \mathbb{C}^n\to \mathbb{C}$ is an entire function of the bounded $\mathbf{L}$-index in joint variables, $\mathbf{\Phi}: \mathbb{B}^m\to \mathbb{C}^n$ is a vector-valued analytic function, and $\mathbf{L}: \mathbb{C}^n\to\mathbb{R}^n_+$ is a continuous function. …”

Obesity and hyperlipidemia were associated with more severe synovitis and structural abnormalities as well as inferior functional outcomes in knee osteoarthritis: a retrospective comparative study by Kuo Hao, Juncai Wang, Yingzhen Niu, Fei Wang

“…There were significant associations of obesity or hyperlipidemia with all synovial inflammatory markers and cartilage, bone marrow edema, meniscus, and total WORMS scores as well as functional outcomes (P < 0.05). Conclusions Obesity and hyperlipidemia were associated with more severe synovitis and structural abnormalities of knee OA, as well as inferior preoperative and postoperative functional outcomes. …”

The effects of bilingualism and multilingualism on executive functions by Bernardo Kolling Limberger, Augusto Buchweitz

Quantum state preparation for multivariate functions by Matthias Rosenkranz, Eric Brunner, Gabriel Marin-Sanchez, Nathan Fitzpatrick, Silas Dilkes, Yao Tang, Yuta Kikuchi, Marcello Benedetti

“…Often qubit registers represent a discretization of continuous variables and the initial state is defined by a multivariate function. We develop protocols for preparing quantum states whose amplitudes encode multivariate functions by linearly combining block-encodings of Fourier and Chebyshev basis functions. …”
