Fungi cause important deteriorations of corms from Crocus sativus L. In order to screen the antifungal properties of this organ to fight such infections, two independent experiments based on the lyophilized and sterilized external (peel) and internal parts ...
We study optimal securitization in the presence of an initial moral hazard. A financial intermediary creates and then sells to outside investors defaultable assets, whose default risk is determined by the unobservable costly effort exerted by the intermedi ...
The use of semantic technologies and ontologies is becoming more and more popular in engineering applications and particularly in product modelling. Still, the use is limited in academia and applications are of a small scale. In this paper we present the r ...
We explore a game theoretic framework for multiple energy producers competing in energy market. Each producer, referred to as a player, optimizes its own objective function given the demand utility. The equilibrium strategy of each player depends on the pr ...
Currently used methods for the description of thermodynamics of ferroelectric thin films (Landau theory or ab initio based Monte Carlo simulations) are based on an energy expansion in terms of internal degrees of freedom. It was shown that these methods ca ...
In this paper we argue that for brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) to be used reliably for extended periods of time, they must be able to adapt to the user’s evolving needs. This adaptation should not only be a function of the environmental (external) contex ...
We introduce a precise interprocedural effect analysis for programs with mutable state, dynamic object allocation, and dynamic dispatch. Our analysis is precise even in the presence of dynamic dispatch where the context-insensitive estimate on the number o ...
Within the global challenge of climate change mitigation, CO2 capture and storage is regarded as a potential option to reduce the CO2 emissions in power plants. The most common technology to capture CO2 is chemical absorption with amines, requiring however ...
Call centre scheduling aims to determine the workforce so as to meet target service levels. The service level depends on the mean rate of arrival calls, which fluctuates during the day, and from day to day. The staff schedule must adjust the workforce peri ...
While traditional research in operations management has focused on mathematical models for improving the flow of physical goods and information, this dissertation takes a quantitative empirical approach. With three distinct research projects it revisits ce ...
