isolation and differentiation of various species of mycobacteria are predominantly based on conventional, cultural and biochemical tests. among the non-tuberculous mycobacteria, these tests are unable to differentiate m. scrofulaceum from m. avium-intracellulare (mai) because of their identical biochemical characteristics. for this reason, one hundred mycobacterial strains suspected to be m. sc...

double-diffusive mixed convection in a lid-driven square enclosure filled with al2o3-water is numerically investigated. two-dimensional nonlinear governing equations are discretized using the control volume method and hybrid scheme. the equations are solved using simpler algorithm. the results are displayed in the form of streamlines, isotherms, and iso-concentrations when the richardson number...

We consider a specific continuous-spin Gibbs distribution μt=0 for a double-well potential that allows for ferromagnetic ordering. We study the time-evolution of this initial measure under independent diffusions. For ‘high temperature’ initial measures we prove that the time-evoved measure μt is Gibbsian for all t. For ‘low temperature’ initial measures we prove that μt stays Gibbsian for small...

We derive closed formulas for the prices of European options andtheir sensitivities when the underlying asset follows a double-exponentialjump diffusion model, as considered by S. Kou in 2002. This author hasderived the option price by making use of double series where each termrequires the computation of a sequence of special functions, such thatthe implementation remains difficult for a large...
