Cyber-insurance survey

Cyber insurance is a rapidly developing area which draws more and more attention of practitioners and researchers. Insurance, an alternative way to deal with residual risks, was only recently applied to the cyber world. The immature cyber insurance market faces a number of unique challenges on the…

Modeling dual drug delivery from eluting stents: the influence of non-linear binding competition and non-uniform drug loading

Objective There is increasing interest in simultaneous endovascular delivery of more than one drug from a drug-loaded stent into a diseased artery. There may be an opportunity to obtain a therapeutically desirable uptake profile of the two drugs over time by appropriate design of the initial drug…

Alzheimer's disease: a mathematical model for onset and progression

In this article we propose a mathematical model for the onset and progression of Alzheimer's disease based on transport and diffusion equations. We regard brain neurons as a continuous medium and structure them by their degree of malfunctioning. Two different mechanisms are assumed to be relevant…

The fractional maximal operator and fractional integrals on variable L^p spaces

We prove that if the exponent function p((.)) satisfies log-Holder continuity conditions locally and at infinity, then the fractional maximal operator M(alpha), 0 < alpha < n, maps L(p(.)) to L(q(.)), where 1/p(x) - 1/q(x) = alpha/n. We also prove a weak-type inequality corresponding to the…

Targeting SARS-CoV-2 nsp13 Helicase and Assessment of Druggability Pockets: Identification of Two Potent Inhibitors by a Multi-Site In Silico Drug Repurposing Approach

The SARS-CoV-2 non-structural protein 13 (nsp13) helicase is an essential enzyme for viral replication and has been identified as an attractive target for the development of new antiviral drugs. In detail, the helicase catalyzes the unwinding of double-stranded DNA or RNA in a 5? to 3? direction…

A hybrid approach for the implementation of the Heston model

We propose a hybrid tree-finite difference method in order to approximate the Heston model. We prove the convergence by embedding the procedure in a bivariate Markov chain and we study the convergence of European and American option prices. We finally provide numerical experiments that give…

Exploring and analyzing the tor hidden services graph

The exploration and analysis of Web graphs has flourished in the recent past, producing a large number of relevant and interesting research results. However, the unique characteristics of the Tor network limit the applicability of standard techniques and demand for specific algorithms to explore…
