Chromatic roots and limits of dense graphs
In this short note we observe that recent results of Abert and Hubai and of
Csikvari and Frenkel about Benjamini--Schramm continuity of the holomorphic
moments of the roots of the chromatic polynomial extend to the theory of dense
graph sequences. We offer a number of problems and conjectures motivated by
this observation.Comment: 9 page
Taxonomic results of the Bryotrop expedition to Zaire and Rwanda : 26., a new checklist of the mosses of Central Africa
Central Africa was one of the first regions in the tropics, if not the first, for which a checklist of mosses was compiled. In 1940, Demaret published the "Prodrome des Bryophytes du Congo Belge et du Ruanda-Urundi", followed by a supplement in 1946. In the 50 years since that time, numerous new contributions to the bryophyte flora of Central Africa have been made. Demaret added seven more publications on Zaire (formerly Belgian Congo). Potier de la Varde studied the bryophyte collections made during the surveys of the flora of the Central African volcanoes by Hedberg
Scientometrics: Untangling the topics
Measuring science is based on comparing articles to similar others. However,
keyword-based groups of thematically similar articles are dominantly small.
These small sizes keep the statistical errors of comparisons high. With the
growing availability of bibliographic data such statistical errors can be
reduced by merging methods of thematic grouping, citation networks and keyword
co-usage.Comment: 2 pages, 2 figure
