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 13 Luglio 2015, alle ore 14.30, nell'Aula C del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Universita' degli Studi di Milano, Via C. Saldini, 50, Milano, "Not just theory: the role of computational neuroscience in clinical neurophysiology" Pietro Balbi Dept. of Neurorehabilitation 'Salvatore Maugeri' Foundation Scientific Institute of Pavia, IRCCS via Boezio 28 Abstract: Neurocomputational modelling has the ultimate goal of enhancing the understanding of the behavior of neural cells and circuits. This aim is usually reached by starting from the experimental phenomena, then by postulating hypotheses or conceptual models of the biophysical events, and finally by transforming them in computational models. The conversion of experimental data in neurocomputational models takes mainly advantage of two well established mathematical theories: the cable conductor theory and the Hodgkin-Huxley equations. In this seminar the considered experimental phenomena are represented by the axon-somatic back-propagation and the recurrent discharge, which are the basis of a clinical test known as the F wave. This is a neurophysiological test commonly used to assess the motor conduction along the most proximal segments of the peripheral axons. It results from the backfiring of antidromically activated spinal motoneurons. Until recently the test has been also used as a measure of motoneuronal excitability in experimental studies. By modelling the axon-somatic back-propagation and the recurrent discharge and by showing their dependance from the biophysical properties of the transition zone between axonal initial segment (AIS) and soma of the spinal motoneurons, a clearer insight is gained about the relations between the F wave and the spinal excitability. The modelling study appears able to provide both a clearer interpretation of the electrophysiological interplay between motoneuronal regions of high morphological inhomogeneity, and a novel demonstration of the flawed role of F-wave recordings in estimating the motoneuronal excitability. ================ Per chi volesse seguire il seminario in remoto ricordo inoltre che sarà possibile avendo 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.

Seminario di Flavia Barsotti presso Prometeia - Bologna
by Giacomo Scandolo 29 Jun '15

29 Jun '15

Il giorno Giovedì 2 Luglio 2015, alle ore 14:30 presso la sede di Prometeia (sala grande, primo piano) via G.Marconi 43, Bologna Flavia BARSOTTI Risk Methodologies, Group Financial Risk, Group Risk Management, UniCredit S.p.A. terrà un seminario dal titolo "Credit risk evaluation: performance and determinants of structural modeling approach" Abstract Structural credit risk models are known to be the natural mathematical framework providing a theoretical link between a firm’s default probability and the underlying firm’s specific structural variables. In this spirit, this talk discusses the ability of structural credit risk modeling in measuring the sensitivity of corporate bond returns to changes in equity value, representing a key element for hedging purposes in risk management activity. The analysis is conducted by considering as starting point the classical Merton model. Extensions of this setting are proposed by relaxing the assumption of Lognormal distribution for the underlying assets value dynamics. The talk discusses the performance of structural models across different rating classes and analyzes which are the key determinants (both credit and non-credit related variables) affecting the performance. --- Questa e-mail è priva di virus e malware perché è attiva la protezione avast!

Seminar Prof. Jorge Zubelli in Padova
by Giorgia Callegaro 26 Jun '15

26 Jun '15

Dear all, next week, the 3rd July 2015, Prof. Jorge Zubelli (IMPA, Rio De Janeiro) will give a seminar on Real Options (Mathematics/Probability applied to Finance) from 12am to 13 am, in room 2BC30 at "Torre Archimede" (Dep. of Mathematics, University of Padova). More details, i.e., the title and abstract follow: Title: "Project evaluation and Real Option Analysis: A Hedged Monte Carlo Approach" Abstract: Industrial strategic decisions have evolved tremendously in the last decades towards a higher degree of quantitative analysis. Such decisions require taking into account a large number of uncertain variables and volatile scenarios, much like financial market investments. Furthermore, they can be evaluated by comparing portfolios of investments in financial assets such as in stocks, derivatives and commodity futures. This revolution led to the development of a new field of managerial science known as Real Options. The use of Real Option techniques incorporates also the value of flexibility and gives a broader view of many business decisions that brings in techniques from quantitative finance and risk management. Such techniques are now part of the decision making process of many corporations and require a substantial amount of mathematical background. Yet, there has been substantial debate concerning the use of risk neutral pricing and hedging arguments to the context of project evaluation. We discuss some alternatives to risk neutral pricing that could be suitable to evaluation of projects in a realistic context with special attention to projects dependent on commodities and non-hedgeable uncertainties. More precisely, we make use of a variant of the hedged Monte-Carlo method of Potters, Bouchaud and Sestovic to tackle strategic decisions. Thanks for the attention and have a nice day, Giorgia -- Giorgia Callegaro Assistant Professor Department of Mathematics - University of Padova Via Trieste 63 , I-35121 Padova - ITALY Tel: +39-0498271481 Fax: +39-0498271499 E-Mail: gcallega(a)math.unipd.it <https://webmail.math.unipd.it/horde3/imp/message.php?mailbox=Sent&index=598#> Personal web-page: https://sites.google.com/site/giogiocallegaro/Home

Seminario Dottor Enrico Moretto all'IMATI
by Antonella Bodini 24 Jun '15

24 Jun '15

Si comunica che il giorno 2 luglio alle ore 10.30, presso la sala A della sede di Milano dell'IMATI, Via E. Bassini 15, il Dottor Enrico Moretto, dell'Universita' dell'Insubria, terra' il seminario dal titolo *Alcune applicazioni finanziarie dello stochastic dividend discount model.* Abstract: lo /stochastic dividend discount model/ (SDDM) (Hurley e Johnson, 1994 e 1998) ha esteso in un contesto aleatorio la classica formula di Gordon che determina il prezzo di un'azione attualizzando i futuri dividendi pagati dalla società agli azionisti. Il modello ipotizza che i dividendi si evolvano in tempo discreto in maniera stocastica, pilotati da un tasso di crescita aleatorio. I contributi di ricerca che saranno presentati rappresentano il tentativo di applicare lo SDDM ad alcuni problemi ben noti in finanza, quali la teoria di selezione del portafoglio e l'analisi delle fusioni tra società. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Cordiali saluti, Antonella Bodini -- Dott. Antonella Bodini CNR-Istituto di Matematica Applicata e Tecnologie Informatiche Via Bassini 15, 20133 Milano (Italy) tel +39 02 23699524 fax +39 02 23699538 http://www.mi.imati.cnr.it/~anto/
