We consider the problem of finding the optimal time to switch between two measurable cash-flow streams. A complete characterization of the set of solutions is obtained in terms of adjoint variables which measure the available gain from deviations. An itera ...
MX-80 granular bentonite is expected to be used as a buffer material for high level nuclear waste storage in Switzerland. This material is composed of 85% of smectite clay and exhibits a particular structure with four different scales. MX-80 macroscopic pr ...
The discovery of ferromagnetism in two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) crystals has generated widespread interest. Making further progress in this area requires quantitative knowledge of the magnetic properties of vdW magnets at the nanoscale. We used ...

We consider a simple continuous-time economy, populated by a large number of agents, more risk averse than the log agent, with hetero- geneous risk aversion densely covering an interval. Even though the dividend is a geometric Brownian motion, the equilibr ...
Hybrid integration and especially the packaging of microelectromechanical systems (i.e. MEMS) cannot rely on standardised packaging solutions due to the diversity of microsystems. As an example, the packaging requirements of a pressure sensor are different ...

We performed variable temperature (0–100°C), concentration and frequency (9.425, 75, 150 and 225 GHz) continuous wave electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements on three different Gd(III) compounds: [Gd(H2O)8]3+, [Gd(DOTA)(H2O)]− (DOTA: 1,4,7,10-te ...
Neoclassical tearing modes are one of the most serious concerns for operation on a next-step tokamak device. The modes occur on present tokamaks at normalized pressure (beta (N)) values comparable to those envisaged For baseline scenarios in future devices ...
Fatigue phenomena occurring in Pb(ZrxTi1-x)O-3 ferroelectric thin-film capacitors (FECAP) with Pt electrodes are studied by means of conduction measurements in the cold-field-emission (tunneling) regime. We have determined that conduction in virgin FECAPs ...
Diversification is at the core of insurance and other financial business. It constitutes an important issue in the preparation of the new Solvency II framework for the regulation of European insurance undertakings. In this paper, we propose a conceptual fr ...
