Logarithmic Components of the Vacant Set for Random Walk on a Discrete Torus
(2008)Electronic Journal of ProbabilityThis work continues the investigation, initiated in a recent work by Benjamini and Sznitman, of percolative properties of the set of points not visited by a random walk on the discrete torus (Z/NZ)d up to time uNd in high dimension d. If u>0 is chosen sufficiently small it has been shown that with overwhelming probability this vacant set contains a unique giant component containing segments of length c0logN for some constant c0>0, and ...Journal Article -

Market Consistent Pricing of Insurance Products
(2008)ASTIN BulletinWe present the first step in a program to develop a comprehensive, unified equilibrium theory of asset and liability pricing. We give a mathematical framework for pricing insurance products in a multiperiod financial market. This framework reflects classical economic principles (like utility maximization) and generates pricing algorithms for non-hedgeable insurance risks.Journal Article -

Correlations between total cell concentration, total adenosine tri-phosphate concentration and heterotrophic plate counts during microbial monitoring of drinking water
(2008)Drinking Water Engineering and ScienceThe general microbial quality of drinking water is normally monitored by heterotrophic plate counts (HPC). This method has been used for more than 100 years and is recommended in drinking water guidelines. However, the HPC method is handicapped because it is time-consuming and restricted to culturable bacteria. Recently, rapid and accurate detection methods have emerged, such as adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP) measurements to assess microbial ...Journal Article -
Movement control tests of the low back; evaluation of the difference between patients with back pain and healthy controls
(2008)BMC Musculoskeletal DisordersBackground To determine whether there is a difference between patients with low back pain and healthy controls in a test battery score for movement control of the lumbar spine. Methods This was a case control study, carried out in five outpatient physiotherapy practices in the German-speaking part of Switzerland. Twelve physiotherapists tested the ability of 210 subjects (108 patients with non-specific low back pain and 102 control ...Journal Article -

Sodium 2-mercaptoethanesulfonate monohydrate (coenzyme M sodium salt monohydrate)
(2008)Acta Crystallographica Section E: Structure Reports OnlineThe 2-thioethanesulfonate anion is the smallest known coenzyme in nature (HS–CoM) and plays a key role in methanogenesis by anaerobic archaea, as well as in the oxidation of alkenes by Gram-negative and Gram-positive eubacteria. The title compound, Na+·C2H5O3S2−·H2O, is the Na+ salt of HS–CoM crystallized as the monohydrate. Six O atoms form a distorted octahedral coordination geometry around the Na atom, at distances in the range 2.312 ...Journal Article -
Bis(acetato-κO)[N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethane-1,2-diamine-κ2N,N′]copper(II)
(2008)Acta Crystallographica Section E: Structure Reports OnlineIn the title compound, [Cu(C2H3O2)2(C6H16N2)], the CuII atom is coordinated by two N atoms from the chelating N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethane-1,2-diamine ligand and two O atoms from two acetate anions in a distorted square-planar geometry. In addition, there are longer contacts between Cu and the second O atom of each acetate ligand, which could be considered to complete a distorted octahedral geometry. The molecules in the crystal structure ...Journal Article
