An approach based on Extreme Value Theory as a measure to quantify market risk of equity securities and portfolios

, the model was constructed with four girders and a deck. The miniature bridge had a span of 7.125 inches and a skewed width of 7.875 inches. The miniature model was tested under different boundary conditions. The model helped in determining optimal sensor locations and critical modes. The study also included

is to construct a model that can accurately predict the physical processes involved in the production of fluorine gas. The results of the simulation will be compared to experimental results from tests done on a lab-scale reactor. A good correlation

in these networks, and (3) the extremely limited computational and energy resources available. Until now, the burden of handling these issues was put on the software application developer. This dissertation presents three novel programming models and middleware systems that address these challenges: Limone, Agilla

I first thank my thesis advisors Thiemo Voigt and Adam Dunkels for being my excellent advisors, and also for being the great colleagues you still are. Thiemo and Adam have complemented each other superbly, giving me feedback, perspectives, insights, and having made every single new venture truly fun. My deepest thanks also go to my professor Per Gunningberg, Uppsala University. Per has in a seemingly easy way spotted erroneous assumptions, has valued my research contributions, and has connected my own work with another broader world of research. I want to thank all colleagues in the Networked Embedded Systems group:

models only partially explain the root causes of this phenomenon. We present a comprehensive mathematical model for MSK-modulated signals that makes the reasons explicit and thus provides fundamental insights on the key parameters governing the successful reception of colliding transmissions.

Abstract. We review theoretical models of individual motility as well as collective dynamics and pattern formation of active particles. We focus on simple models of active dynamics with a particular emphasis on nonlinear and stochastic dynamics of such self-propelled entities in the framework
