Dai and Singleton (2000) study a class of term structure models for interest rates that specify the short rate as an affine combination of the components of an N-dimensional affine diffusion process. Observable quantities in such models are invariant under ...
Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy allows investigating the interaction of charged proteins with charged surfaces of liquid-filled nanochan- nels. Based on a 2-D multi-component diffusion model the bulk and surface diffusion behavior is quantified. ...
A continuous interior penalty hp-finite element method that penalizes the jump of the discrete solution across mesh interfaces is introduced. Error estimates are obtained for first-order and advection-dominated transport operators. The analysis relies on t ...
Passive sampling relies on the uptake of contaminants into appropriate sampling devices along a diffusion gradient without using pumps or bailers. Thus, for example, in groundwater sampling, changes to flow due to pumping can be avoided. If the diffusion g ...
We address the coupling of an advection equation with a diffusion-advection equation, for solutions featuring boundary layers. We consider non-overlapping domain decompositions and we face up the heterogeneous problem using an extended variational formulat ...
We investigate the entrainment, deposition and motion of coarse spherical particles within a turbulent shallow water stream down a steep slope. This is an idealization of bed-load transport in mountain streams. Earlier investigations have described this ki ...
Soils are known to support a great bacterial diversity down to the millimeter scale, but the mechanisms by which such a large diversity is sustained are largely unknown. A feature of unsaturated soils is that water usually forms thin, poorly-connected film ...
Riparian vegetation dynamics in Alpine rivers are to a large extent driven by the timing and magnitude of floods which inundate the floodplain, transport sediment, erode the river bed, and create and destroy suitable germination sites. Here we present a st ...
A view of recent experimental results and progress in the characterization of the statistical properties of edge turbulence in fusion plasmas is given. The study of the dynamical interplay between fluctuations in gradients, turbulent transport and radial e ...
A longstanding problem in the study of sediment transport in gravel-bed rivers is related to the physical mechanisms governing bed resistance and particle motion. To study this problem, we investigated the motion of coarse spherical glass beads entrained b ...
