Turbulent magnetic pumping in a Babcock-Leighton solar dynamo model

Context. The turbulent pumping effect corresponds to the transport of magnetic flux due to the presence of density and turbulence gradients in convectively unstable layers. In the induction equation it appears as an advective term and for this reason it is expected to be important in the solar and stellar dynamo processes. Aims. In this work, we have explored the effects of the turbulent pumpin...

The Babcock Institute University of Wisconsin Dairy Updates

212 Milk letdown, in most of the species studied, occurs after the activation of a neuroendocrine mechanism that releases oxytocin in the blood stream. The released oxytocin contracts the myoepithelial cells that surround the alveoli, forcing the expulsion of the milk. However, the pattern of milk ejection varies remarkably from species to species and could be related to the need or degree of o...

An Extension of Some Results Due to Cox and Leland

We investigate an optimal portfolio allocation problem between a risky and a risk-free asset, as in [1]. They obtained explicit conditions for path-independence and optimality of allocation strategies when the price of the risky asset follows a geometric Brownian motion with constant asset characteristics. This paper analyzes and extends their results for dynamic investment strategies by allowi...
