2. 1. Some Markov Processes in Finance and Kinetics : Markov Processes

   Author : Mattias Sunden; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; CGMY process; Collision kernel; Direct simulation Monte Carlo; Diffusion approximation; Extreme value theory; Feller process; Generalized hyperbolic process; Generalized $z$-process; Infinitesimal generator; Laplace-Beltrami operator; L evy Processes; Long-tailed distribution; Kac equation; Kac model; Markov process; Semigroup; Semi-heavy tailed distirbution; Spectral gap; Subexponential distibrution; Superexponential distribution; Tauberian theorem; Thermostat.; Diffusion approximation;

   Abstract : This thesis consists of four papers. The first two papers treat extremes for L\'evy processes, while papers three and four treat the Kac model with unbounded collision kernel. READ MORE

4. 2. Modelling and Inference for Spatio-Temporal Marked Point Processes

   Author : Ottmar Cronie; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Asymptotic normality; Consistency; Cox-Ingersoll-Ross process; Diffusion process; Edge correction; Goodness-of-fit; Richards growth function; Growth-interaction process; Immigration-death process; Least squares estimation; Markov process; Maximum likelihood estimation; Open-growth; Spatio-temporal marked point process; Stationarity; Stochastic differential equation; Transition density; Asymptotic normality;

   Abstract : This thesis deals with inference problems related to the growth-interaction process (GI-process). The GI-process is a continuous time spatio-temporal point process with dynamic interacting marks (closed disks), in which the immigration-death process (ID-process) controls the arrivals of new marked points as well as their potential life-times.

5. 3. Pushing diffusion MRI towards new dimensions

   Author : Joao Martins; Fysikalisk kemi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NMR; MRI; diffusion; relaxation; multidimensional diffusion MRI; relaxation-diffusion correlations; Laplace NMR; porous media; tissue microstructure; heterogeneity; anisotropy;

   Abstract : Diffusion-MRI techniques allow the non-invasive investigation of microstructural changes in living tissues. However, a detailed interpretation of the data is complicated by the fact that multiple microscopic environments with varying diffusion properties all contribute to the measured signal. READ MORE

6. 4. Diffusion of Radionuclides in Bentonite Clay : Laboratory and in sity Studies

   Author : Mats Jansson; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bentonite; montmorillonite; cation; anion; diffusion; sorption; cobalt; caesium; strontium; iodide; pertechnetate; surface diffusion; in situ; Chemistry; Kemi;

   Abstract : This thesis deals with the diffusion of ions in compactedbentonite clay. Laboratory experiments were performed toexamine in detail different processes that affect thediffusion. To demonstrate that the results obtained from thelaboratory investigations are valid under in situ conditions,two different kinds of in situ experiments were performed. READ MORE

7. 5. Diffusion of dynamic innovations : A case study of residential solar PV systems

   Author : Emrah Karakaya; Cali Nuur; Antonio Hidalgo; Anna Bergek; KTH; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Dynamic innovations; diffusion; residential solar; photovoltaics; time; space; Industriell ekonomi och organisation; Industrial Engineering and Management;

   Abstract : In the literature on diffusion of innovations, it is widely known that the characteristics and socio-environmental settings of adopters do evolve in space and time. What about innovations themselves? During the diffusion process, don’t some innovations continuously alter in space and time? If so, how does the dynamic character of an innovation influence the diffusion process? In previous research, it has been often assumed that innovations do not continuously alter or get modified when diffusing from a source to potential adopters. READ MORE
