Computing canonical heights on Jacobians
… for the explicit computation of canonical heights on Jacobians of smooth projective curves. Building on an existing algorithm due to Flynn and Smart with modifications by Stoll we generalize efficient methods for the computation of canonical heights on elliptic curves to the case of …

Barrier Heights and Diffusion Coefficients in Protein Folding
A widely held view with respect to the folding of single-domain proteins is that they are two-state. In other words, it is seemingly sufficient to invoke just two thermodynamic macrostates - folded and unfolded - to explain the experimental data with a transition-state like picture. Unfortunately, …

Investigating Forearm Muscle Activity Across Violin String Heights
The purpose of this work was to evaluate differences in forearm and upper trapezius muscle activity and co-contraction indices during performance of a four-octave G-major scale on two identical violins with a low and a high string height. Surface electromyography was collected from six forearm …

Optimal building heights around Bogotá's first subway line
… to develop a model to estimate optimal building heights that can help in calculating optimal market densities in the first subway line catchment area. Estimating potential densities would be useful not only to make better land use and regulation policy, but also to find real estate opportunities …

p-adic Heights of Heegner points on Shimura curves
Let f be a primitive Hilbert modular form of weight 2 and level N for the totally real field F, and let p be an odd rational prime such that f is ordinary at all primes dividing p. When E is a CM extension of F of relative discriminant prime to Np, we give an explicit construction of the p-adic …
