(University of Iceland, School of Health Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, 2024-03)Sumarexem er húðofnæmi af gerð I í hestum sem orsakast af framleiðslu á IgE mótefnum gegn ofnæmisvökum upprunnum úr biti smámýs (Culicoides spp.). Sjúkdómsvaldurinn lifir ekki á Íslandi. Tíðni sjúkdómsins er mun hærri í útfluttum hestum samanborið við ...

(ACM, 2023-10-22)Cellular automata are an archetypical comonadic notion of computation in that computation happens in the coKleisli category of a comonad. In this paper, we show that they can also be viewed as graded comonadic—a perspective that turns out to be both ...
