Structure-property relationships at the atomic scale are usually understood in terms of recurrent structural motifs formed by atoms and molecules, and how they transform and interact with each other.
We introduce with this thesis a novel analysis approach, ...
We introduce the class of linear-rational term structure models in which the state price density is modeled such that bond prices become linear-rational functions of the factors. This class is highly tractable with several distinct advantages: (i) ensures ...
Cavitation bubbles are a topic of long-standing interest owing to the powerful phenomena associated with their collapse. Their unique ability to focus energy typically causes damage in hydraulic machinery (turbines, pumps, propellers, ...) but, if managed ...
The development of visual functions is very diverse. Some visual functions mature within the first year of life, whereas maturation for other functions extends into adolescence. The reasons for these developmental differences are largely unknown. Here, we ...
Prior to this study, no simplified yet rational methods were available for estimating the vertical displacements of energy pile groups subjected to thermal loads. Observing such a challenge, the goal of this study has been threefold: (i) to extend the inte ...
We show that the transcendence degree of a real function field over an arbitrary real base field is a strict lower bound for its Pythagoras number and a weak lower bound for all its higher Pythagoras numbers. ...
The septation initiation network (SIN) regulates aspects of cell growth and division in Schizosaccharomyces pombe and is essential for cytokinesis. Insufficient signalling results in improper assembly of the contractile ring and failure of cytokinesis, gen ...
A recently found local-global principle for quadratic forms over function fields of curves over a complete discretely valued field is applied to the study of quadratic forms, sums of squares, and related field invariants. ...
In this paper, we define Euclidean minima for function fields and give some bound for this invariant. We furthermore show that the results are analogous to those obtained in the number field case. (C) 2013 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights ...
