Vog: Using Volcanic Eruptions to Estimate the Health Costs of Particulates

open access: yesThe Economic Journal, EarlyView., 2018
The negative consequences of long‐term exposure to particulate pollution are well established but a number of studies find no effect of short‐term exposure on health outcomes. The high correlation of industrial pollutants complicates the estimation of the impact of individual pollutants on health.

Application of Non‐Isothermal Network Theory With Curved‐Channel Element Characteristics to Predict Melt Conveying in High‐Performance Single‐Screw Extruders

open access: yesJournal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
This study presents a fast and accurate calculation tool to predict conveying of polymer melts in single‐screw extruders. Integrating generalized sub‐models into network theory allows to represent the complex screw shapes and material behavior more realistically. Tests on an industrial extruder show close agreement with experiments, outperforming older

Assessing the Performance of European Union Regions in the “People” and “Prosperity” Pillars of the SDGs

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper addresses the gap in subnational assessments of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by benchmarking the performance of European Union NUTS‐2 regions in the People and Prosperity pillars of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Motivations for an arbitrary precision interval arithmetic and the MPFI library [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
This paper justifies why an arbitrary precision interval arithmetic is needed: to provide accurate results, interval computations require small input intervals; this explains why bisection is so often employed in interval algorithms. The MPFI library has

A Near-Optimal Algorithm for Computing Real Roots of Sparse Polynomials

open access: yes, 2014
Let $p\in\mathbb{Z}[x]$ be an arbitrary polynomial of degree $n$ with $k$ non-zero integer coefficients of absolute value less than $2^\tau$. In this paper, we answer the open question whether the real roots of $p$ can be computed with a number of ...

Converting an Integer to a Decimal String in Under Two Nanoseconds

open access: yesSoftware: Practice and Experience, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Converting binary integers to variable‐length decimal strings is a fundamental operation in computing. Conventional fast approaches rely on recursive division and small lookup tables. The goal of this work is to develop a significantly faster method for this task.

Reliance as Promise

open access: yesAmerican Business Law Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract In the face of powerful criticism, the “reliance interest” continues to hold an impactful position in judicial and academic treatment of contract damages. And yet, the theoretical foundation of reliance damages for breach of contract remains unsettled.

Formal Verification of Nonlinear Inequalities with Taylor Interval Approximations

open access: yes, 2013
We present a formal tool for verification of multivariate nonlinear inequalities. Our verification method is based on interval arithmetic with Taylor approximations.
