In this work, we tackle the problem of minimising the Conditional-Value-at-Risk (CVaR) of output quantities of complex differential models with random input data, using gradient-based approaches in combination with the Multi-Level Monte Carlo (MLMC) method ...
Although the frustrated (zigzag) spin chain is the Drosophila of frustrated magnetism, our understanding of a pair of coupled zigzag chains (frustrated spin ladder) in a magnetic field is still lacking. We address this problem through nuclear magnetic reso ...
A concise synthesis of pharmaceutically useful (R)-tert-butyl N-(2-bromo-9-methyl-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-pyrido [2,3-b ] indol-6-yl) -N-methylcarbamate building block 11 is described. The racemic intermediate 17 was prepared in a single step from 2-bromo-6- ...
This thesis concentrates on investigating the presence of 3D ideal MHD instabilities, particularly a saturated 1/1 ideal internal kink, on neoclassical phenomena such as the bootstrap current and heavy impurity transport. The MHD equilibria are generated u ...
In electronic design automation Boolean resynthesis techniques are increasingly used to improve the quality of results where algebraic methods hit local minima Boolean methods rely on complete functional properties of a logic circuit, preferably including ...
Recent evidence suggests that younger people update beliefs in response to aggregate shocks more than older people. We embed this generational learning bias in an equilibrium model in which agents have recursive preferences and are uncertain about exogenou ...
Parameter learning strongly amplifies the impact of macroeconomic shocks on marginal utility when the representative agent has a preference for early resolution of uncertainty. This occurs as rational belief updating generates subjective long-run consumpti ...
Enol esters are versatile synthetic building blocks which can be elaborated by a wide variety of transformations. The classical synthesis by O-selective enolate acylation often hampers control of the E/Z selectivity with highly substituted substrates. A rh ...
The drift kinetic equation is analysed for linear instabilities that are sensitive to the toroidal drift motion of long-mean free path particle populations. The interaction Lagrangian is resolved, and the toroidal drift precession evaluated for realistic t ...
Using a vector-autoregression (VAR) model and data from the University of Michigan Survey of Consumers, we provide evidence on the importance of news and consumers' beliefs for housing-market dynamics and aggregate fluctuations. We document that innovation ...
