Integral chain management of wildlife diseases [PDF]

, 2019
The chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis has caused the most prominent loss of vertebrate diversity ever recorded, which peaked in the 1980s. Recent incursion by its sister species B. salamandrivorans in Europe raised the alarm for a new wave of

A dynamic look-ahead Monte Carlo algorithm for pricing Bermudan options [PDF]

, 2007
Under the assumption of no-arbitrage, the pricing of American and Bermudan options can be casted into optimal stopping problems. We propose a new adaptive simulation based algorithm for the numerical solution of optimal stopping problems in discrete time.

Identification of the orphan gene Prod 1 in basal and other salamander families. [PDF]

, 2015
The urodele amphibians (salamanders) are the only adult tetrapods able to regenerate the limb. It is unclear if this is an ancestral property that is retained in salamanders but lost in other tetrapods or if it evolved in salamanders.

Laminar flow in three-dimensional square-square expansions [PDF]

, 2011
In this work we investigate the three-dimensional laminar flow of Newtonian and viscoelastic fluids through square–square expansions. The experimental results obtained in this simple geometry provide useful data for benchmarking purposes in complex three-

The finite-volume method in computational rheology [PDF]

, 2012
The finite volume method (FVM) is widely used in traditional computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and many commercial CFD codes are based on this technique which is typically less demanding in computational resources than finite element methods (FEM ...

Monotone Projection Lower Bounds from Extended Formulation Lower Bounds [PDF]

, 2017
In this short note, we reduce lower bounds on monotone projections of polynomials to lower bounds on extended formulations of polytopes. Applying our reduction to the seminal extended formulation lower bounds of Fiorini, Massar, Pokutta, Tiwari, & de ...

Simulations of extensional flow in microrheometric devices [PDF]

, 2008
We present a detailed numerical study of the flow of a Newtonian fluid through microrheometric devices featuring a sudden contraction–expansion. This flow configuration is typically used to generate extensional deformations and high strain rates.

Tropical Theta Functions and Log Calabi-Yau Surfaces [PDF]

, 2016
We generalize the standard combinatorial techniques of toric geometry to the study of log Calabi-Yau surfaces. The character and cocharacter lattices are replaced by certain integral linear manifolds described by Gross, Hacking, and Keel, and monomials ...

Ferromagnetic material in the eastern red-spotted newt notophthalmus viridescens [PDF]

, 1999
Behavioral results obtained from the eastern red-spotted newt (Notophthalmus viridescens) led to the suggestion of a hybrid homing system involving inputs from both a light-dependent and a non-light-dependent mechanism. To evaluate the possible role of a
