چکیده
Abstract We begin this chapter, and the book, with tragic story of Mattio Lovat (1806), to introduce then fairly new little-understood disease, known in Italy as pellagra—literally, ‘rough skin’, after its primary manifestation. But dermatitis was only first infamous ‘four Ds’, which we can add diarrhoea, dementia death. United States would be countries most affected by but pellagra either epidemic, endemic or occasional many other areas where maize cultivation consumption widespread. suggest that what must have seemed like a positive agricultural development—the introduction Central American plant maize, prodigious yields ability feed so many—had some unintended consequences over course long nineteenth century. If it became celebrated part local culture diet, because very success, altered longstanding landholding patterns adversely peasant conditions livelihoods. A combination poverty meagre diet resulted pellagra, an estimated 100,000 sufferers late 1870s. conclude chapter outlining aims structure book.

An Introduction to Rough Paths
Abstract: This article aims to be an introduction to the theory of rough paths, in which integrals of differential forms against irregular paths and differential equations controlled by irregular paths are defined. This theory makes use of an extension of the notion of iterated integrals of the paths, whose algebraic properties appear to be fundamental. This theory is well-suited for stochastic...
متن کاملRough path analysis : An Introduction
We denote by Bp,T (Rd) the Banach space which consists of continuous paths starting at 0 with finite p-variation norm ‖ ‖p. The 1-variation norm of x is the same as the total variation of x. The p-variation norm defines a weaker topology of the C1-path space with x0 = 0. Actually it is proved that I0,T (x) is a continuous functional of x in the p-variation topology for any 1 ≤ p < 2. However it...
