Virginia Woolf’s Ruined House, a Literary Complex
Études Britanniques Contemporaines, 2012 Virginia Woolf’s central section in To the Lighthouse hinges upon the oxymoric nature of ruin, and ponders over disappearance. The family house is victim of a time that passes irremediably, yet remains and endures. In Woolf’s ‘elegy’, the Ramsays’ ruined

“Those foreigners ruin everything here”: Interactional functions of ethnic labelling among pupils in the Netherlands [PDF]
Journal of Sociolinguistics, 2019 AbstractThis paper contributes to a deeper understanding of ethnic labelling practices by examining their interactional functions among secondary school pupils in Venlo, the Netherlands. Pupils with migration backgrounds often labelled themselves and others “Turk,” “Moroccan,” or “foreigner,” and labelled others “Dutch.” The paper highlights that ...

The Gerber-Shiu expected discounted penalty-reward function under an affine jump-diffusion model. [PDF]
We provide a unified analytical treatment of first passage problems under an affine state-dependent jump-diffusion model (with drift and volatility depending linearly on the state).

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Low‐voltage FIB‐SEM tomography combined with a image preprocessing pipeline improves phase contrast and enables reliable machine‐learning segmentation of conductive networks in lithium‐ion battery electrodes. Structural descriptors are extracted from segmented images, done semimanually and automated, and compared.

Dependent discrete risk processes –calculation of the probability of ruin [PDF]
This paper is devoted to discrete processes of dependent risks. The random variables describing the time between claims can be dependent in such processes, unlike under the classical approach.

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Geometrical modifications on nitrocellulose membranes can result in observable differences in signal intensity relative to a reference membrane (top and bottom left). Using two reference experiments, we have developed a theoretical model that can reproduce the experimentally observed flow changes and provide information on membrane parameters, e.g ...

On Finite-Time Ruin Probabilities for Classical Risk Models [PDF]
This paper is concerned with the problem of ruin in the classical compound binomial and compound Poisson risk models. Our primary purpose is to extend to those models an exact formula derived by Picard and Lefèvre (1997) for the probability of (non-)ruin

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Enhancing ultrasound transmission through an aberration layer exhibiting mismatched impedance with the surrounding medium possesses great implications in imaging and treatment. In this study, we show that a space‐coiling acoustic metamaterial with judiciously tailored structural profile can help improve impedance matching.

Approximating the Finite-Time Ruin Probability under Interest Force [PDF]
We present an algorithm to determine both a lower and an upper bound for the finite-time probability of ruin for a risk process with constant interest force. We split the time horizon into smaller intervals of equal length and consider the probability of
