Length of activity season drives geographic variation in body size of a widely distributed lizard
2013
Understanding the factors that drive geographic variation in life history is an important challenge in evolutionary ecology. Here, we analyze what predicts geographic variation in life-history traits of the common lizard, Zootoca vivipara, which has the globally largest distribution range of all terrestrial reptile species. Variation in body size was predicted by differences in the length of activity season, while we found no effects of environmental temperature per se. Females experiencing relatively short activity season mature at a larger size and remain larger on average than females in populations with relatively long activity seasons. Interpopulation variation in fecundity was largely…
Empirical evidence for fast temperature-dependent body size evolution in rotifers
2017
Organisms tend to decrease in size with increasing temperature by phenotypic plasticity (the temperature-size rule; ectotherms) and/or genetically (Bergmann’s rule; all organisms). In this study, the evolutionary response of body size to temperature was examined in the cyclically parthenogenetic rotifer Brachionus plicatilis. Our aim was to investigate whether this species, already known to decrease in size with increasing temperature by phenotypic plasticity, presents a similar pattern at the genetic level. We exposed a multiclonal mixture of B. plicatilis to experimental evolution at low and high temperature and monitored body size weekly. Within a month, we observed a smaller size at hig…
PIP-Spaces and Signal Processing
2009
Contemporary signal processing makes an extensive use of function spaces, always with the aim of getting a precise control on smoothness and decay properties of functions. In this chapter, we will discuss several classes of such function spaces that have found interesting applications, namely, mixed-norm spaces, amalgam spaces, modulation spaces, or Besov spaces. It turns out that all those spaces come in families indexed by one or more parameters, that specify, for instance, the local behavior or the asymptotic properties. In general, a single space, taken alone, does not have an intrinsic meaning, it is the family as a whole that does, which brings us to the very topic of this volume. In …
Examples of Indexed PIP-Spaces
2009
This chapter is devoted to a detailed analysis of various concrete examples of pip-spaces. We will explore sequence spaces, spaces of measurable functions, and spaces of analytic functions. Some cases have already been presented in Chapters 1 and 2. We will of course not repeat these discussions, except very briefly. In addition, various functional spaces are of great interest in signal processing (amalgam spaces, modulation spaces, Besov spaces, coorbit spaces). These will be studied systematically in a separate chapter (Chapter 8).
Response to: 'IL-23 expression and activation of autophagy in synovium and PBMCs of HLA-B27 positive patients with ankylosing spondylitis' by Neerinc…
2014
We read with interest the study by Neerinckx et al 1 addressing the expression of interleukin (IL)-23p19 and of autophagy genes in the synovium and in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells of patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Differently from our observation in the gut,2 the authors failed to demonstrate any significant increase by RT-PCR in the expression of synovium autophagy-related genes (ATG16L1, IRGM, MAP1LC3A, ATG5, HSPA8 and HSP90AA1) together with no significant overexpression of IL-23p19 compared with disease and healthy controls. We have previously demonstrated by immunohistochemistry that in the …

Bergman and Bloch spaces of vector-valued functions
2003
We investigate Bergman and Bloch spaces of analytic vector-valued functions in the unit disc. We show how the Bergman projection from the Bochner-Lebesgue space Lp(, X) onto the Bergman space Bp(X) extends boundedly to the space of vector-valued measures of bounded p-variation Vp(X), using this fact to prove that the dual of Bp(X) is Bp(X*) for any complex Banach space X and 1 < p < ∞. As for p = 1 the dual is the Bloch space ℬ(X*). Furthermore we relate these spaces (via the Bergman kernel) with the classes of p-summing and positive p-summing operators, and we show in the same framework that Bp(X) is always complemented in p(X).

A Riemann manifold structure of the spectra of weighted algebras of holomorphic functions
2009
[EN] In this paper we give general conditions on a countable family V of weights on an unbounded open set U in a complex Banach space X such that the weighted space HV (U) of holomorphic functions on U has a Frechet algebra structure. For such weights it is shown that the spectrum of HV(U) has a natural analytic manifold structure when X is a symmetrically regular Banach space, and in particular when X = C-n.

A space of projections on the Bergman space
2010
We define a set of projections on the Bergman space A 2 , which is parameterized by an ane subset of a Banach space of holomorphic functions in the disk and which includes the classical Forelli-Rudin projections.
Behavior of holomorphic mappings on $p$-compact sets in a Banach space
2015
We study the behavior of holomorphic mappings on p-compact sets in Banach spaces. We show that the image of a p-compact set by an entire mapping is a p-compact set. Some results related to the localization of p-compact sets in the predual of homogeneous polynomials are also obtained. Finally, the "size" of p-compactness of the image of the unit ball by p-compact linear operators is studied.
