Algebraic effect handlers are a recently popular approach for modelling side-effects that separates the syntax and semantics of effectful operations. The shape of syntax is captured by functors, and free monads over these functors denote syntax trees. The semantics is captured by algebras, and effect handlers pass these over the syntax trees to interpret them into a semantic domain. This approa...

In this paper we discuss a general framework for analyzing labor supply behavior in the presence of complicated budgetand quantity constraints of which some are unobserved. The individual’s labor supply decision is viewed as a choice from a set of discrete alternatives (jobs). These jobs are characterized by attributes such as hours of work, sector specific wages and other sector specific aspec...

Ex vivo expansion of human umbilical cord blood cells (HUCBC) is explored by several investigators to enhance the repopulating potential of HUCBC. The proliferation and expansion of human hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) in ex vivo culture was examined with the goal of generating a suitable clinical protocol for expanding HSC for patient transplantation. Using primary human mesenchymal stem ...

In part 1 of this paper, first and second order analysis of uncertainty is applied to numerical models of groundwater flow. The models are cast in state-space form, with boundary conditions and inputs that are functionally dependent, but statistically independent, of time. Using a compact matrix calculus notation, first and second order Taylor series expansions of the model equations are derive...

We study the dynamic fluctuations of the soft-spin version of the Edwards-Anderson model in the critical region for T → T+ c . First we solve the infinite-range limit of the model using the random matrix method. We define the static and dynamic 2-point and 4-point correlation functions at the order O(1/N) and we verify that the static limit obtained from the dynamic expressions is correct. In a...

Augmentation of deficient and atrophic alveolar ridges is an important aspect of dental implant therapy with the goal of providing a functional restoration in harmony with adjacent natural dentition. Bone splitting technique is considered a distinguished augmentation method for treatment of deficient alveolar ridges. According to this procedure, the compromised alveolar ridge is opened from the...

This paper presents a generalization of the fixed point theorems of compression and expansion of functional type. As an application, the existence of a positive solution to a second order conjugate boundary value problem is considered. We conclude with an extension to multivalued maps.

Functional data are infinite-dimensional statistical objects which pose significant challenges to both theorists and practitioners. Both parametric and nonparametric regressions have received attention in the functional data analysis literature. However, the former imposes stringent constraints while the latter suffers from logarithmic convergence rates. In this article, we consider two popular...
