The structure of atmospheric turbulence near the ground is reviewed and the statistical
properties of the longitudinal, lateral and vertical velocity components of the wind presented. The …

A mathematical model of the dynamic behaviour of an insurance system with delayed profit/loss
sharing feedback is developed. The model is then subjected to a disturbance input …

The Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment is designed to measure a high-precision
