In this paper we consider Volterra integral equations on time scales and describe our study about the long time behavior of their solutions. We provide sufficient conditions for the stability under constant perturbations by using the direct Lyapunov method and we present some examples of application.

We derive an integration by parts formula for functionals of de- terminantal processes on compact sets, completing the arguments of [4]. This is used to show the existence of a conguration-valued diffusion process which is non-colliding and admits the distribution of the determinantal process as reversible law. In particular, this approach allows us to build a concrete example of the associated diffusion process, providing an illustration of the results of [4] and [30]. 1

Using covariance identities based on the Clark-Ocone representation formula we derive Gaussian density bounds and tail estimates for the probability law of the solutions of several types of stochastic differential equations, including Stratonovich equations with boundary condition and irregular drifts, and equations driven by fractional Brownian motion. Our arguments are generally simpler than the existing ones in the literature as our approach avoids the use of the inverse of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator.

Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) has been shown to be a potentially important medical diagnostic tool. The success of MRS depends on the quantitative data analysis, i.e., the interpretation of the signal in terms of relevant physical parameters, such as frequencies, decay constants, and amplitudes. A variety of time-domain algorithms to extract parameters have been developed. On the one hand, there are so-called blackbox methods. Minimal user interaction and limited incorporation of prior knowledge are inherent to this type of method.

This paper deals with the issue of forecasting energy production of a Photo-Voltaic (PV) plant, needed by the Distribution System Operator (DSO) for grid planning. As the energy production of a PV plant is strongly dependent on the environmental conditions, the DSO has difficulties to manage an electrical system with stochastic generation. This implies the need to have a reliable forecasting of the irradiance level for the next day in order to setup the whole distribution network. To this aim, this paper proposes the use of transfer function models.

MUSCL extensions (Monotone Upstream-centered Schemes for Conservation Laws) of the Godunov numerical scheme for scalar conservation laws are shown to admit a rather simple reformulation when recast in the formalism of the Haar multi-resolution analysis of L²(R). By pursuing this wavelet reformulation, a seemingly new MUSCL-WB scheme is derived for advection-reaction equations which is stable for a Courant number up to 1 (instead of roughly 1/2 ).

We introduce a new class of finite differences schemes to approximate one dimensional dissipative semilinear hyperbolic systems with a BGK structure. Using precise analytical time-decay estimates of the local truncation error, it is possible to design schemes, based on the standard upwind approximation, which are increasingly accurate for large times when approximating small perturbations of constant asymptotic states. Numerical tests show their better performances with respect to those of other schemes.

Recurrent focal neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies is a relatively frequent autosomal-dominant demyelinating neuropathy linked to peripheral myelin protein 22 (PMP22) gene deletions. The combination of PMP22 gene mutations with other genetic variants is known to cause a more severe phenotype than expected. We present the case of a patient with severe orthostatic hypotension since 12 years of age, who inherited a PMP22 gene deletion from his father. Genetic double trouble was suspected because of selective sympathetic autonomic disturbances.
