The paper investigates the key factors of export dynamics for a set of Central and Southeast European (CSEE) countries in the context of current economic and financial crisis. In order to model the export dynamics a Global Vector Auto Regressive (GVAR) model is defined. As opposed to models which model each country separately, the GVAR combines all country models in a global model which enables...

While it could be argued that Jenner, with his discovery of vaccination, ushered in the field of immunotherapy, manipulation of the human immune system to treat inflammatory diseases is only now coming of age. The mechanism behind immune specificity, the basic premise of vaccination, was largely solved with appreciation of how the MHC presents antigen, and with crystallization of the MHC/T cell...

Every applied mathematician has used separation of variables. For a given boundary value problem (BVP) in two dimensions, the starting point of this powerful method is the separation of the given PDE into two ODEs. If the spectral analysis of either of these ODEs yields an appropriate transform pair, i.e., a transform consistent with the given boundary conditions, then the given BVP can be redu...
