Alpha-fetoprotein represents the most prominent oncobiomarker, widely used in the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma for monitoring of tumor progression, presence of metastasis, assessment of cancer prognosis and successful antitumor therapeutic measures. Yuri Semenovich Tatarinov is a Russian scientist who first published antigen specific for human hepatocellular carcinoma in 1963. To comme...

Yuri Gurevich is well-known to the readers of this Bulletin. He is a Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research, where he founded a group on Foundations of Software Engineering, and a Professor Emeritus at the University of Michigan. His name is most closely associated with abstract state machines but he is known also for his work in logic, complexity theory and software engineering. The Gurevi...

state machines (ASMs) form a relatively new computation model holding the promise that they can simulate any computational system in lockstep. In particular, an instance of the ASM model has recently been introduced for computing queries to relational databases [120]. This model, to which we refer as the BGS model, provides a powerful query language in which all computable queries can be expres...

— We construct examples of elliptic fibrations of orbifold general type (in the sense of Campana) which have no étale covers dominating a variety of general type.

The authors recently discovered some interesting relations between the Black-Scholes formula and last passage times of the Brownian exponential martingales, which invites one to seek analogous results for last passage times up to a …nite horizon. This is achieved in the present paper, where Yuri’s formula, as originally presented in Akahori, Imamura and Yano (2008), is also derived. We are most...
