Web: http://www.csc.cam.ac.uk/academic/courses/cfd-july12/index.shtml The course will provide a solid foundation on traditional and advanced numerical discretisation techniques for the solution of the various partial differential equations which govern fluid flow, showing how successful numerical methods are rooted both in mathematical properties of those equations and in notions of computational efficiency. Working Plan: The morning lectures on the theory will be complemented by hands-on computational practicals during the afternoons. The participants will work on numerical exercises as individuals and as members of a team, and present their results to the rest of the class. Who should attend: The course will aim to convey a "CFD literacy" enabling newcomers to understand the literature and to select methods that are effective for their applications. It will also provide the foundation for existing users who would like to become more involved with algorithm and code development. A strong background in an applied science or/and mathematics is recommended. At the end of the course the participants will be qualified to start building their own code from scratch, or to further develop existing packages. ------ Subject: Workshop on Mathematics for Life Sciences, Ukraine, Sep 2012 From: "Juergen Prestin" Date: Wed, 23 May 2012 11:27:49 +0200 (CEST) Workshop on Mathematics for Life Sciences Kiev, September 3 - 14, 2012 You are cordially invited to attend this meeting which is an event of the EC-funded project EU-Ukrainian Mathematicians for Life Sciences "EUMLS", yet it is open to all interested scientists with a mathematics or life science background, especially those at the early stages of their careers.

It has soon become clear that this approach has several advantages over traditional techniques, as it allows a good characterization of the underlying dynamical system even in the presence of strong non-linearities and noise. Since then, Permutation Entropy has been applied in a wide range of research fields, ranging from econophysics, to non-linear optics, to biology. The aim of this Session is to review the latest advances and applications of this technique. A non-exhaustive list of topics includes: - Advances in the theory of Permutation Entropy - Permutation Entropy based methods and techniques - Applications, including econophysics, neuroscience, basic biology, genetics, ...

These mathematical models play also a crucial role in the analysis of the performance of transport systems The objective of this session is to create a space for exchanging state-of-the-art results and ideas on these mathematical models for transport systems. The session aims at encouraging technical and scientific exchanges between academic researchers and industrialists. Special attention will be devoted to performance-related applied models, i.e., how those tools and techniques can be used to improve the performance of current systems. Contributions centered on societal and environmental aspects and citizens' perceptions are also especially welcome. A non-exhaustive list of topics includes: - Topological properties of transportation systems and their efficiency, resilience. - Dynamics of and in relation to transportation systems: from movements of persons and goods to diseases and information spreading mechanisms. - Emerging behaviors and critical-phase transitions in transportation systems.
