We present a Lagrangian data assimilation experiment in an open channel flow above a broad-crested weir. The observations consist of trajectories of particles transported by the flow and extracted from a video film, in addition to classical water level measurements. However, the presence of vertical recirculations on both sides of the weir actually conducts to the identification of an equivalen...

Smartphone users often use private and enterprise data with untrusted third party applications. The fundamental lack of secrecy guarantees in smartphone OSes, such as Android, exposes this data to the risk of unauthorized exfiltration. A natural solution is the integration of secrecy guarantees into the OS. In this paper, we describe the challenges for decentralized information flow control (DI...

liable mode of treating cases of snake-bite. In investigations regarding the action of drugs of a complex nature, it frequently occurs that the physiological action of the drug, considered as a whole, differs from its isolated constituents. Thus, while opium is narcotic, thebaia, one of its constituents, is purely excitant, and in doses of one grain causes tetanic spasms (Farquharson). The expe...

BACKGROUND Trauma activation for prehospital hypotension in blunt trauma is controversial. Some patients subsequently arrive at the trauma center normotensive, but they can still have life-threatening injuries. Admission base deficit (BD)≤-6 correlates with injury severity, transfusion requirement, and mortality. Can admission BD be used to discriminate those severely injured patients who arriv...

*We have benefited from discussions with Stefan Dercon, Francis Teal and Sharada Weir. However, usual disclaimers apply.

The criteria proposed by Crump et al. are based on various cognitive roles associated with sentience. A subset of them may be sufficient for certain kinds welfare, but the presence all should considered as clearly substantial legal protection their relation to capacities that we consider essential moral standing in human beings.

The aim of the present paper is to obtain a number of Kuhn-Tucker type sufficient optimality conditions for a feasible solution to be an efficient solution under the assumptions of the new notions of weak strictly pseudo quasi α-univex, strong pseudo quasi α-univex, and weak strictly pseudo α-univex vector valued functions. We also derive the duality theorems for Mond-Weir and general Mond-Wei...

We characterize, using the Bergman kernel, Carleson measures of Bergman spaces in strongly pseudoconvex bounded domains in C, generalizing to this setting theorems proved by Duren and Weir for the unit ball. We also show that uniformly discrete (with respect to the Kobayashi distance) sequences give examples of Carleson measures, and we compute the speed of escape to the boundary of uniformly d...
