Bozen-Bolzano Risk School
by Durante Fabrizio 22 May '15

22 May '15

Dear Colleague, the Faculty of Economics and Management is organizing the BOZEN-BOLZANO RISK SCHOOL, which will be held in Bolzano, Italy, on September, 22nd-23rd 2015. The event will aim at providing to PhD students and to early researchers overview lectures about basic aspects of risk quantification, like multivariate risk models, risk measures and set-optimization methods. There will be also the possibility for young researchers to present their results. For more information, see http://pro1.unibz.it/projects/bz_risk_school/index.html Please, do not hesitate to contact me for more details. Thanks in advance for your interest!

Seminario di Robert Morris a Roma Tre il 29/05/15
by Pietro Caputo 21 May '15

21 May '15

Prof. R. Morris (IMPA, Brasile) Titolo: Universality for bootstrap percolation in two dimensions Venerdi' 29 Maggio 2015 ORE 14:30 Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica Universita' degli Studi Roma Tre AULA 211 (Largo San L. Murialdo,1 - Palazzina C) Abstract: In the classical r-neighbour bootstrap percolation model on a graph G, vertices are initially infected independently at random with probability p, and subsequently vertices become infected as soon as they have at least r already-infected neighbours. In this talk we will discuss a vast generalization of this model on the lattice Z^d, which was introduced recently by Bollobas, Smith and Uzzell. Somewhat surprisingly, it turns out that in two dimensions there are only a small number of possible behaviours. We will discuss what is known so far, and the many open questions in higher dimensions. This is joint work with Bela Bollobas, Hugo Duminil-Copin and Paul Smith.

*2015/16 PhD program at IMT Institute for Advanced Studies LuccaDeadline for applications – June 29 th 2015, 6 pm Italian time* To apply: www.imtlucca.it/phd/prospective/application Applications are now being accepted for the 2015/16 PhD program at the IMT Institute for Advanced Studies Lucca (www.imtlucca.it). Highly motivated candidates are invited to apply for one of the *35 fully-funded scholarships* within a doctoral program that integrates scientific competences of economics, engineering, computer science, physics, applied mathematics, statistics, history and sciences of cultural heritage. The three-year program is articulated in *3 field-specific curricula *which, in many instances, share a common scientific background. IMT Lucca PhD students will focus their academic experiences in one of the 10 different research units. This concentrated approach enables students to gain the maximum benefit from their time in the program and to effectively prepare themselves to excel in careers in research and academia in their chosen field. Candidates can apply for one (or more) of the following curricula: *- Computer Science and Systems Engineering (CSSE)- Economics, Management and Data Science (EMDS)- Analysis and Management of Cultural Heritage (AMCH)* Courses are led by world-renowned researchers and provide students with the necessary theoretical skills and advanced tools for rigorously tackling a multitude of analysis, design and management problems within the broad framework of systems analysis. Specialized faculty and staff create a network that provides key guidance and support throughout the PhD Program. Working closely with faculty, both in the classroom and in the development of research, students reach the highest levels of scholarly achievement. In fact, IMT's outgoing PhDs will be able to use the skills they obtained during their studies to recognize and resolve complex problems to choose the most appropriate method or instrument to utilize when affronting these problems, even in disciplines outside of their primary field of research. *All students are based in the recently restored San Francesco complex, a fully integrated campus in the historical center of the beautiful Tuscan city of Lucca. *The campus *includes residential facilities, an on-site canteen, study and living rooms, and outdoor recreational spaces*; all serving to add a cultural and social dimension to the professional experience of our doctoral program. Eligible students will also receive a *research scholarship *which amounts to approximately €13,600/year. Our PhD program attracts students from around the world, providing a truly international environment. *English is the official language of the Institute.* Besides, to further enhance the internationality of the program, all students have the opportunity to *spend periods abroad *at research institutes or laboratories or universities, both within the Erasmus+ framework or through ad hoc mobility agreements. To find out more about the Institute, the admission requirements and how to apply; please see www.imtlucca.it/phd *The deadline for applications is June 29 th 2015, 6 pm Italian time.* Find IMT on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube for the latest news.

Seminario PERIN (RGS, ADAMSS, CIMAB & Matematica Applicata)
by Giacomo Aletti 18 May '15

18 May '15

Con preghiera di diffusione tra tutti i possibili interessati, scusandomi per invii multipli. Cordialmente, Giacomo Aletti -------------- Nell'ambito dei Reading Group Seminars e del Seminario di Matematica Applicata, in collaborazione col centro ADAMSS e il CIMAB, il giorno lunedì 25 Maggio 2015, alle ore 14.30, nell'Aula C del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Universita' degli Studi di Milano, Via C. Saldini, 50, Milano, "Information coding in vestibular hair cells" Paola PERIN University of Pavia Abstract: Hair cells are the mechanoreceptors in our auditory and vestibular systems. Vestibular afferent neurons are classified on the basis of their motion selectivity (direction, response to linear vs. angular motion), discharge regularity, gain and dynamics (tonic vs. phasic). The properties of vestibular hair cells and afferent fibers are optimized for the transduction for low frequency stimuli (head motion, mostly below 50 Hz). Moreover, vestibular hair cells display a resting transmitter release rate which is used to set a baseline: increases above resting discharge signal movements in one direction, decreases signal movements in the opposite direction. Whereas discharge regularity appears to be a postsynaptic property, afferent dynamics is determined presynaptically, but the mechanisms involved are still unclear. In our work we have recorded currents, voltages and release from vestibular hair cells from the frog utricle and built a model of a hair cell connected to an afferent fiber upon mechanical stimulation. Our results suggest that dynamics is affected by ion currents (especially BK and IA) whereas presynaptic release properties affect resting discharge but not postsynaptic dynamics. ================ Per chi volesse seguire il seminario in remoto ricordo inoltre che sarà possibile dopo aver segnalato il proprio interessamento entro le 12 del giorno del seminario. ================= Reading Group Seminars: The Reading Group Seminars (RGS) are organized within an open community of researchers interested in applying up to date mathematical modeling and data analysis approaches to the study of biological systems. The RGS take place at the Math. Department in Milan (via Saldini). Initiatives and updates are published on the website: http:// rgs.mat.unimi.it/.
