Recently, the biochemical pathways regulating the flagellar motors were uncovered. This knowledge gave rise to a class of kinetic-transport equations, that takes into account an intra-cellular molecular content and which relates the tumbling...

In the 70's, Tutte developed a clever algebraic approach, based on certain "invariants," to solve a functional equation that arises in the enumeration of properly coloured triangulations. The enumeration of plane lattice walks confined to the first...

Let $A$ be a Dedekind domain, $K$ the fraction field of $A$, and $f\in A[x]$ a monic irreducible separable polynomial. Denote by $\theta\in K^{\mathrm{sep}}$ a root of $f$ and let $F=K(\theta)$ be the finite separable extension of $K$ generated by $...

This workshop will bring together statistical and health researchers to discuss statistical issues arising in the use of administrative databases for health research. The speakers will present challenges arising in practice, share recent progress and...

p-Adic analogues of triangulations of Riemann surfaces give us a very concrete way of understanding degenerate parts of modular Jacobians. In this talk, I will discuss how this yields a flexible way to understand the action of Hecke operators on...

A holepunch cloud is a curious phenomenon where a disturbance in a thin cloud layer, as can be caused by ascending or descending aircraft, results in a growing circular hole of clear air. Observed since the dawn of aviation, only in 2011 was this...

Co-optimization is a special type of optimization where the quality of potential solutions (to be optimized) needs to be assessed over a very large number of circumstances (tests). An important result in co-optimization is that there is “free lunch”...
