On the Statistical Modeling and Analysis of Repairable Systems
We review basic modeling approaches for failure and maintenance data from repairable systems. In particular we consider imperfect repair models, defined in terms of virtual age processes, and the trend-renewal process which extends the nonhomogeneous Poisson process and the renewal process. In the case where several sy...

Propagation of Fluctuations in Biochemical Systems, II: Nonlinear Chains
We consider biochemical reaction chains and investigate how random external fluctuations, as characterized by variance and coefficient of variation, propagate down the chains. We perform such a study under the assumption that the number of molecules is high enough so that the behavior of the concentrations of the syste...

A modified Next Reaction Method for simulating chemical systems with time dependent propensities and delays
Chemical reaction systems with a low to moderate number of molecules are typically modeled as discrete jump Markov processes. These systems are oftentimes simulated with methods that produce statistically exact sample paths such as the Gillespie Algorithm or the Next Reaction Method. In this paper we make explicit use ...

Unitary Solution to a Quantum Gravity Information Paradox
We consider a toy model of the interaction of a qubit with an exotic space-time containing a time-like curve. Consistency seems to require that the global evolution of the qubit be non-unitary. Given that quantum mechanics is globally unitary, this then is an example of a quantum gravity information paradox. However, w...

On the Structure of General Mean-Variance Hedging Strategies
We provide a new characterization of mean-variance hedging strategies in a general semimartingale market. The key point is the introduction of a new probability measure $P^{\star}$ which turns the dynamic asset allocation problem into a myopic one. The minimal martingale measure relative to $P^{\star}$ coincides with t...

Optimal execution strategies in limit order books with general shape functions
We consider optimal execution strategies for block market orders placed in a limit order book (LOB). We build on the resilience model proposed by Obizhaeva and Wang (2005) but allow for a general shape of the LOB defined via a given density function. Thus, we can allow for empirically observed LOB shapes and obtain a n...

Quantum state tomography using a single apparatus
The density matrix of a two-level system (spin, atom) is usually determined by measuring the three non-commuting components of the Pauli vector. This density matrix can also be obtained via the measurement data of two commuting variables, using a single apparatus. This is done by coupling the two-level system to a mode...

These rates are in terms of two assumptions on the considered distributions: Tsybakov's noise assumption to establish a small estimation error, and a new geometr...

WEBT and XMM-Newton observations of 3C 454.3 during the post-outburst phase. Detection of the little and big blue bumps
The blazar 3C 454.3 underwent an unprecedented optical outburst in spring 2005. This was first followed by a mm and then by a cm radio outburst, which peaked in February 2006. We report on follow-up observations by the WEBT to study the multiwavelength emission in the post-outburst phase. XMM-Newton observations on Jul...

Measuring Type Ia Supernova Distances and Redshifts From Their Multi-band Light Curves
The distance and redshift of a type Ia supernova can be determined simultaneously through its multi-band light curves. This fact may be used for imaging surveys that discover and obtain photometry for large numbers of supernovae; so many that it would be difficult to obtain a spectroscopic redshift for each. Using avai...

Rectification of Swimming Bacteria and Self Driven Particle Systems by Arrays of Asymmetric Barriers
We show that the recent experimental observation of the rectification of swimming bacteria in a system with an array of asymmetric barriers occurs due to the ballistic component of the bacteria trajectories introduced by the bacterial "motor." Each bacteria selects a random direction for motion and then moves in this d...

The short period end of the contact binary period distribution based on the All Sky Automated Survey (ASAS)
The search-volume corrected period distribution of contact binaries of the W UMa type appears to reflect primarily the constant number ratio of ~1/500 to the number of stars along the Main Sequence; there exist no evidence for angular momentum evolution. The maximum in contact binary numbers is located at shorter perio...

Fast optimal CMB power spectrum estimation with Hamiltonian sampling
We present a method for fast optimal estimation of the temperature angular power spectrum from observations of the cosmic microwave background. We employ a Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) sampler to obtain samples from the posterior probability distribution of all the power spectrum coefficients given a set of observatio...

Black Holes and Quantum Gravity at the LHC
We argue that the highly studied black hole signatures based on thermal multiparticle final states are very unlikely and only occur in a very limited parameter regime if at all. However, we show that if the higher-dimensional quantum gravity scale is low, it should be possible to study quantum gravity in the context of...

Reliability of Coupled Oscillators II: Larger Networks
We study the reliability of phase oscillator networks in response to fluctuating inputs. Reliability means that an input elicits essentially identical responses upon repeated presentations, regardless of the network's initial condition. In this paper, we extend previous results on two-cell networks to larger systems. T...

Complex X-ray morphology of Abell 3128: A distant cluster behind a disturbed cluster
We present here the results of a detailed study of the X-ray properties of the cluster of galaxies Abell 3128 (z=0.06), based on the analysis of deep (100 ks) XMM-Newton data. The most obvious feature of the X-ray morphology of A3128 is the presence of two X-ray peaks separated by ~12'. By detecting the redshifted Fe K...

Limit distribution theory for maximum likelihood estimation of a log-concave density
We find limiting distributions of the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of a log-concave density, that is, a density of the form $f_0=\exp\varphi_0$ where $\varphi_0$ is a concave function on $\mathbb{R}$. The pointwise limiting distributions depend on the second and third derivatives at 0 of $H_k$, the ...

On the approximation by weighted ridge functions
We characterize the best $L_{2}$ approximation to a multivariate function by linear combinations of ridge functions multiplied by some fixed weight functions. In the special case when the weight functions are constants, we propose explicit formulas for both the best approximation and approximation error.
