This collection traces the history of seven Dutch sugar plantations in Guiana (the colony of Surinam) through nearly a century of major developments, including the Napoleonic Wars and the transition from a slave to a free labor economy. The records consist of correspondence regarding the administration of the plantations in the Surinam colony, a...

In this survey talk, I collect a lot of results from discrete and computational geometry, explaining the special role that 'touchings' (tangencies) play in te subject. These questions contributed to the early development of the theory of Davenport-Schinzel sequences, algorithmic motion planning, geometric graph theory, and incidence geometry. We...

Reframing the Access to Medicines Debate: Health as a Global Public Good. In recent decades, the benefits of new medicines and vaccines from pharmaceutical research and development have transformed the health of populations living in developed economies. Yet billions of people living in poverty have not yet benefited from these innovations. Dr. ...

The current trends in processor architecture design are driven by the end of so called era of Dennard scaling in around 2005. Thermal power dissipation issues associated with increasing processor clock frequency has instead led to processors being designed with many compute cores equipped with ever more numerous and wider vector units. The adven...

PhotoAcoustic Tomography (PAT) has become established as a significant imaging modality allowing the qualitative imaging in 3D of absorbed optical energy in the visible and near-infrared range, with high resolution, by exploiting the conversion of optical to acoustic energy and the discontinuity preserving propagation of ultrasound under the ass...

In this talk we present two intimately related approaches in speeding-up molecular simulations via Monte Carlo simulations.First, we discuss coarse-graining algorithms for systems with complex, and often competing particle interactions, both in the equilibrium and non-equilibrium settings, which rely on multilevelsampling and communication. Seco...
