Loss portfolio transfer treaties within Solvency II capital system: a reinsurer’s point of view [PDF]
Insurance Markets and Companies, 2020 Loss portfolio transfer (LPT) is a reinsurance treaty in which an insurer cedes the policies that have already incurred losses to a reinsurer. This operation can be carried out by an insurance company in order to reduce reserving risk and consequently ...

A Generic Approach to Quantitative Verification [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 This thesis is concerned with quantitative verification, that is, the verification of quantitative properties of quantitative systems. These systems are found in numerous applications, and their quantitative verification is important, but also rather challenging.

The Whereabouts of 2D Gels in Quantitative Proteomics [PDF]
Methods in Molecular Biology -Clifton then Totowa- 893 (2012)
25-35, 2012 Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis has been instrumental in the development of proteomics. Although it is no longer the exclusive scheme used for proteomics, its unique features make it a still highly valuable tool, especially when multiple quantitative comparisons of samples must be made, and even for large samples series.

A Rational Risk Policy? Why Path Dependence Matters
Entropy, 2023 The Kelly criterion determines optimal bet sizes that maximize long-term growth. While growth is definitely an important consideration, the focus on growth alone can lead to significant drawdowns, leading to psychological discomfort for a risk-taker ...

Single Imputation Methods and Confidence Intervals for the Gini Index
Mathematics, 2021 The problem of missing data is a common feature in any study, and a single imputation method is often applied to deal with this problem. The first contribution of this paper is to analyse the empirical performance of some traditional single imputation ...

Quantitative De Giorgi methods in kinetic theory [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 We consider hypoelliptic equations of kinetic Fokker-Planck type, also known as Kolmogorov or ultraparabolic equations, with rough coefficients in the drift-diffusion operator. We give novel short quantitative proofs of the De Giorgi intermediate-value Lemma as well as weak Harnack and Harnack inequalities.

Functional variation among LPMOs revealed by the inhibitory effects of cyanide and buffer ions
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This study addresses the inhibition of lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) by cyanide and explains how and why the magnitude of observed inhibitory effects depends on the way LPMO reactions are setup and on the type of LPMO. Enzymes known as lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are mono‐copper polysaccharide‐degrading peroxygenases that ...

Model Checking the Quantitative mu-Calculus on Linear Hybrid Systems [PDF]
Logical Methods in Computer Science, Volume 8, Issue 3 (September
20, 2012) lmcs:760, 2012 We study the model-checking problem for a quantitative extension of the modal mu-calculus on a class of hybrid systems. Qualitative model checking has been proved decidable and implemented for several classes of systems, but this is not the case for quantitative questions that arise naturally in this context.
