Sind Boil: Suppuration

"VY. H. C., set. 26, of the Indian Marine, sent for me on 6th September last to treat his leg. He had recently returned from Sind after a stay there of three years. He exposed a large unhealthy looking sore, about two inches in length and one and a half in breadth, a little below the right knee cap on the tibia. He was in excellent condition : no history of syphilis. He also showed me a large, ...

Sind "ineffektive" Wetterderivate effiziente Risikomanagementinstrumente?

We describe a risk programming model that can be used to determine farmers’ willingness-to-pay for weather derivatives. Applying it to a Brandenburg farm reveals that even a highly standardized contract based on accumulated rainfall generates a relevant willingness-to-pay. We find that an underwriter could even add a loading (on the actuarially fair price) which exceeds the level of traditional...

Sind wir so schlau, wie wir denken?

Es ist eine Binsenweisheit, daß die Wissenschaft mit ihren Erkenntnissen den Zeitgeist prägt. Die dabei wirksamen Prägungsprozesse sind allerdings sehr komplex. Dies hat zur Folge, daß wissenschaftliche Revolutionen (oder Paradigmenwechsel) und deren neue Sichtweisen nur allmählich in alle Schichten der Gesellschaft durchsickern. Das letzte Jahrhundert war Zeuge mehrerer solcher Revolutionen: Q...

Invasive Algorithmen und Architekturen

In this seminal paper, we introduce the notion of invasive algorithms and corresponding parallel computing architectures also called invasive. The main idea of invasion is to add to a given single-processor program the ability to explore neighbor processors and to copy itself to such processors in a phase of invasion, and then to execute the given problem in parallel based on the available (inv...
