A note on the rightmost particle in a Fleming-Viot process
We consider N nearest neighbor random walks on the positive integers with a
drift towards the origin. When one walk reaches the origin, it jumps to the
position of one of the other N-1 walks, chosen uniformly at random. We show
that this particle system is ergodic, and establish some exponential moments of
the rightmost position, under the stationary measure.Comment: 9 page

In response to an outbreak of Zika virus that started in February 2016 on Kosrae Island, Kosrae State, Federated States of Micronesia, we conducted entomological investigations, including a survey to characterize the mosquito fauna on Kosrae, from November 29 to December 8, 2016. Mosquitoes were collected using several surveillance methods in order to sample all stages of the mosquito life cycle. Eggs were collected using ovicups, larvae and pupae were sampled using standard dippers, and adults were collected using aspirators and Biogents-2 Sentinel traps. All species previously recorded from Kosrae State were found in the current survey, confirming their continued presence on the island. | was detected on Lelu Island, representing a new municipal record. The collection of | represents a new species record for Kosrae, increasing the number of known taxa on this island from 6 to 7. The report herein provides updated knowledge of the mosquitoes that occur on Kosrae State, Federated States of Micronesia.CC999999/ImCDC/Intramural CDC HHS/United States2019-08-14T00:00:00Z31414080PMC66936366576vault:3376
Universal crossing probability in anisotropic systems
Scale-invariant universal crossing probabilities are studied for critical
anisotropic systems in two dimensions. For weakly anisotropic standard
percolation in a rectangular-shaped system, Cardy's exact formula is
generalized using a length-rescaling procedure. For strongly anisotropic
systems in 1+1 dimensions, exact results are obtained for the random walk with
absorbing boundary conditions, which can be considered as a linearized
mean-field approximation for directed percolation. The bond and site directed
percolation problem is itself studied numerically via Monte Carlo simulations
on the diagonal square lattice with either free or periodic boundary
conditions. A scale-invariant critical crossing probability is still obtained,
which is a universal function of the effective aspect ratio r_eff=c r where
r=L/t^z, z is the dynamical exponent and c is a non-universal amplitude.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figure
Moments of Moments and Branching Random Walks
We calculate, for a branching random walk to a leaf at depth
on a binary tree, the positive integer moments of the random variable
, for .
We obtain explicit formulae for the first few moments for finite . In the
limit , our expression coincides with recent conjectures and
results concerning the moments of moments of characteristic polynomials of
random unitary matrices, supporting the idea that these two problems, which
both fall into the class of logarithmically correlated Gaussian random fields,
are related to each other.Comment: 26 pages, version published in Journal of Statistical Physic

Skylab investigation of the upwelling off the Northwest coast of Africa
The upwelling off the NW coast of Africa in the vicinity of Cape Blanc was studied in February - March 1974 from aircraft and in September 1973 from Skylab. The aircraft study was designed to determine the effectiveness of a differential radiometer in quantifying surface chlorophyll concentrations. Photographic images of the S190A Multispectral Camera and the S190B Earth Terrain Camera from Skylab were used to study distributional patterns of suspended material and to locate ocean color boundaries. The thermal channel of the S192 Multispectral Scanner was used to map sea-surface temperature distributions offshore of Cape Blanc. Correlating ocean color changes with temperature gradients is an effective method of qualitatively estimating biological productivity in the upwelling region off Africa
