On an elliptic Kirchhoff-type problem depending on two parameters

Let Ω ⊂ R be a bounded domain with smooth boundary, and let K : [0,+∞[→ R be a given continuous function. If n ≥ 2, we denote by A the class of all Carathéodory functions φ : Ω×R → R such that sup (x,t)∈Ω×R |φ(x, t)| 1 + |t|q < +∞ , where 0 < q < n+2 n−2 if n > 2 and 0 < q < +∞ if n = 2. While, when n = 1, we denote by A the class of all Carathéodory functions φ : Ω ×R → R such that, for each r...

Some computational aspects of Gaussian CARMA modelling

Representation of continuous-time ARMA, CARMA, models is reviewed. Computational aspects of simulating and calculating the likelihood-function of CARMA are summarized. Some numerical properties are illustrated by simulations. Some real data applications are shown.

Immunity to malaria elicited by hybrid hepatitis B virus core particles carrying circumsporozoite protein epitopes

The hepatitis B virus (HBV) nucleocapsid antigen (HBcAg) was investigated as a carrier moiety for the immunodominant circumsporozoite (CS) protein repeat epitopes of Plasmodium falciparum and the rodent malaria agent P. berghei. For this purpose hybrid genes coding for [NANP]4 (C75CS2) or [DP4NPN]2 (C75CS1) as internal inserts in HBcAg (between amino acids 75 and 81) were constructed and expres...

The Art of Living with NZT and ICT: Dialectics of an Artistic Case Study

I wholeheartedly sympathize conceptually with Coeckelbergh's paper. The dialectical relationship between vulnerability and technology constitutes the core of Hegel's Master and Slave (the primal scene of contemporary philosophy). Yet, the empirical dimension is underdeveloped and Coeckelbergh's ideas could profit from exposure to case studies. Building on a movie/novel (Limitless) devoted to vu...
