Le molluscum contagiosum est une tumeur cutanée bénigne d'origine virale. L'agent responsable est un Poxvirus à ADN fréquemment retrouvé chez les enfants de 3 à 16 ans, les immunodéprimés et plus rarement chez les adultes immunocompétents. Le syndrome d'hyper immunoglobulinémie E ou de Job-Buckley fait partie des déficits immunitaires primitifs complexes, caractérisé par l'association constante...

For the hyperbolic conservation laws with discontinuous flux function there may exist several consistent notions of entropy solutions; the difference between them lies in the choice of the coupling across the flux discontinuity interface. In the context of Buckley-Leverett equations, each notion of solution is uniquely determined by the choice of a “connection”, which is the unique stationary s...

We present a stochastic analysis of immiscible two-phase flow ~Buckley–Leverett displacement! in heterogeneous reservoirs. Since the detailed spatial variabilities of reservoir properties such as permeability and porosity cannot be described deterministically, both permeability and porosity, or either, are treated as random space functions. In turn, water saturation and oil production rate are ...

SUMMARY In the presence of high-dimensional predictors, it is challenging to develop reliable regression models that can be used to accurately predict future outcomes. Further complications arise when the outcome of interest is an event time, which is often not fully observed due to censoring. In this article, we develop robust prediction models for event time outcomes by regularizing the Gehan...

We study the numerical performance of a limited memory quasi Newton method for large scale optimization which we call the L BFGS method We compare its performance with that of the method developed by Buckley and LeNir which combines cyles of BFGS steps and conjugate direction steps Our numerical tests indicate that the L BFGS method is faster than the method of Buckley and LeNir and is better a...
