Multiscale modeling for epitaxial growth

Epitaxy is the growth of a thin film on a substrate in which the crystal properties of the film are inherited from those of the substrate. Because of the wide range of relevant length and time scales, multiscale mathematical models have been developed to describe epitaxial growth. This presentation describes atomistic, island dynamics and continuum models. Island dynamics models are multiscale ...

Genetic Programming for Multiscale Modeling

We propose the use of genetic programming (GP)—a genetic algorithm that evolves computer programs—for bridging simulation methods across multiple scales of time and/or length. The effectiveness of genetic programming in multiscale simulation is demonstrated using two illustrative, non-trivial case studies in science and engineering. The first case is multi-timescale materials kinetics modeling,...

This article describes some of the most commercially important fungi, and focuses on food products. This general review article discusses all different aspects of fungal natural products, from pharmaceuticals to food

Multiname and Multiscale Default Modeling

Multiname default modeling is crucial in the context of pricing credit derivatives such as Collaterized Debt Obligations (CDOs). We consider here a simple reduced form approach for multiname defaults based on the Vasicek or Ornstein-Uhlenbeck model for the hazard rates of the underlying names. We analyze the impact of volatility time scales on the default distribution and CDO prices. We demonst...
