Subresultants in multiple roots: an extremal case
We provide explicit formulae for the coefficients of the order-d polynomial
subresultant of (x-\alpha)^m and (x-\beta)^n with respect to the set of
Bernstein polynomials \{(x-\alpha)^j(x-\beta)^{d-j}, \, 0\le j\le d\}. They are
given by hypergeometric expressions arising from determinants of binomial
Hankel matrices.Comment: 18 pages, uses elsart. Revised version accepted for publication at

Hoon Driving Behaviour: Prevalence, Associated Characteristics and Crashes
The use of vehicles in an antisocial, 'loutish' and dangerous manner constitutes the phenomenon of hooning, a risky behaviour with heightened concern for Australian roads (Folkman, 2005; Jarred, 2002). The concern has been highlighted by extensive media attention particularly from local newspapers within Australian states and territories (see 'Hoons need for speed and danger', 2006; Ferguson, 2006; 'Hoons go for a joyride', 2006). There has also been general observations made by police and traffic groups as to the related components of hooning (e.g. Folkman, 2005; Jarred, 2002) although the amount of accessible published documents is minimal. Thus, hooning may lead to on road accidents and warrants research to identify its related factors
New q-Euler numbers and polynomials associated with p-adic q-integrals
In this paper we study q-Euler numbers and polynomials by using p-adic
q-fermionic integrals on Z_p. The methods to study q-Euler numbers and
polynomials in this paper are new.Comment: 13 page
Commentary on three papers
Let me start with âThe Slump, the Recovery, and the New Normalâ by
Edmund Phelps. With this stone, I would like to hope that I am killing two birds:
Ned Phelpsâs paper is, in part, a non-mathematical version of the
âMacroeconomic Effects of Over-Investment in Housing in an Aggregative
Model of Economic Activityâ, written by Hian Teck Hoon. The first paper is in
words; the second has some words and, in parts, some Hamiltonians.
Both papers are extraordinarily stimulating. Both bear on the issues of the
day.
A key thing to say, and admire, about the first paper is the fact that in a
fairly readable way â not that it will be an effortless read for the non-economist
â it addresses the great macroeconomic issue of our time. Why did the
remarkable financial crisis of the first decade of the 2000s come about, and what
happens next? Phelps begins by pointing out that we experienced a major
contraction before in the post-war era, namely, during the severe downturn that
began around the mid 1970s and took unemployment levels to a frightening point
seen by few living worker (in my country, the UK, unemployment was 12% of the
labour force by the year 1983). That crisis took place as I was in the middle of
college; it encouraged in me an interest in economics

A BGG-type resolution for tensor modules over general linear superalgebra
We construct a Bernstein-Gelfand-Gelfand type resolution in terms of direct
sums of Kac modules for the finite-dimensional irreducible tensor
representations of the general linear superalgebra. As a consequence it follows
that the unique maximal submodule of a corresponding reducible Kac module is
generated by its proper singular vector.Comment: 11pages, LaTeX forma
Biopython: freely available Python tools for computational molecular biology and bioinformatics
Summary: The Biopython project is a mature open source international collaboration of volunteer developers, providing Python libraries for a wide range of bioinformatics problems. Biopython includes modules for reading and writing different sequence file formats and multiple sequence alignments, dealing with 3D macro molecular structures, interacting with common tools such as BLAST, ClustalW and EMBOSS, accessing key online databases, as well as providing numerical methods for statistical learning.
