The Long Shadow of American Slavery: Human Capital, 1850-1910. Richard Steckel, a pioneer in the field of anthropometric history, which uses stature and other anthropometric measures to assess health and nutrition in the past, discusses six linked phenomena observed in Southern black history: a sudden rise in wealth in the late 1800s; extremely ...

We present a new uniqueness result for solutions to Fokker€“Planck€“Kolmogorov (FPK) equations for probability measures on infinite-dimensional spaces. We consider infinite-dimensional drifts that admit certain finite dimensional approximations. In contrast to most of the previous work on FPK-equations in infinite dimensions, we include cases wi...

Papandreou, wife of Andreas Papandreou, Greek political leader in exile, revives her memory of an education that came not through formal study, but through a bitter personal experience. The experience included the fall of Greek democracy because of political manipulations forced, she claims, upon Greece by three major military powers of the worl...

Persistence diagrams are extremely useful for describing complicated patterns in a simple but meaningful way. We will demonstrate this idea on the patterns appearing in the convection flows and granular media. This procedure allows us to transform samples from the experiment into a point cloud in the space of persistence diagrams. The space of p...

In interior point methods for linear programming, the central path starts at the analytic center of a polytope.

Multigrid methods are so-called optimal methods because they can solve a system of N unknowns with O(N) work. This optimality property is crucial for scaling up to huge high-resolution simulations on parallel computers. To achieve this, the multigrid components must be designed with the underlying system in mind, traditionally, the problem geome...
