Obstetrical forceps. Steel body; wide, curved, fenestrated blades that cross at shank; slightly curved shank bowed out at a 45 degree angle; English-style lock; steel and ebony handles held together with three screws; handles are short, smooth and have a slight dip before terminal finger rest. Includes manufacturer markings:"F. G. OTTO & SONS."

Motivated by the need to properly address near-term (i.e. interannual to interdecadal) climate prediction as an initial-value problem, intense interest has emerged on the development of data assimilation for coupled atmosphere--ocean global climate models. Basic research on this problem is challenging due to the large computational expense assoc...

A n-sided polygon in 3-space can be described as a point in 3n-space by listing in order the coordinates of it vertices. In this way, the space of embedded n-sided polygons is a manifold in which points correspond to piecewise linear knots and paths correspond to isotopies which preserve the geometric structure of these knots. In this talk, we w...

This talk will focus on theory and practice of combinatorial auctions and their application to thesale of wireless spectrum licenses. As new wireless applications emerge worldwide, the wireless industry and government regulators are looking to reallocate wireless spectrum to better match the demand. Combinatorial auctions can play an effective r...

The classical way of measuring the regularity of a function is by comparing itin the neighbourhood of any point with a polynomial of sufficiently high degree.Would it be possible to replace monomials by functions with less regular behaviouror even by distributions? It turns out that the answer to this question hassurprisingly far-reaching conseq...
