This book offers essential information on the life and career of the recently deceased Giorgio P. Szegö, particularly his important contributions in various areas of mathematical programming and applications to financial markets. It highlights the developments in the fields of stability theory and dynamical systems brought about by his work in the early 1960s and 1970s, then moves on to address his valuable contributions to portfolio theory in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and, finally, examines his work in the field of risk management and the role of financial regulation in the late 1990s. The book explores Giorgio P. Szegö’s contributions in diverse research areas ranging from global optimization, theory of stability and dynamical systems to applications of financial mathematics to portfolio theory, risk measurement and financial regulation. It also covers his consulting work for such major international institutions as the IMF, World Bank and OECD.
Lajos è un colto ingegnere ebreo ungherese, trasferito a Roma. Maria è una giovane italiana cattolica, dalle forti passioni sociali e politiche. La loro storia d’amore, che sboccia negli anni Trenta, è già di per sé una sfida al destino, in un Paese in cui il matrimonio tra persone di nazionalità e religioni diverse è complicato. Ancor di più lo è sotto il fascismo: con l’inizio delle persecuzioni contro gli ebrei la loro quotidianità di famiglia borghese e benestante, costruita con impegno a Forlì, si sgretola con impressionante rapidità. Mentre il regime dà un giro di vite dopo l’altro, Lajos perde la cittadinanza, il lavoro, infine rischia di perdere la libertà e la vi...
EMPLOYABILITY: capacità di ottenere e mantenere un lavoro soddisfacente. Definizione breve e precisa: ma per un laureando non è così semplice cercare, trovare e mantenere un lavoro veramente soddisfacente. Il libro propone una serie di domande che il laureando deve farsi e come darsi delle risposte per capire che ruolo cercare, in che tipo di azienda, e dove. Il tutto valutando due fattori che determinano l’employability: Chi sono e come mi presento? Quali sono i miei soft skill, le mie ambizioni? Come posso presentarle e migliorarle? Quali sono i miei limiti e vincoli? Cosa offrono il mercato del lavoro, la ricerca e la libera professione? Quali sono i pro e i contro? Il libro riprende i contenuti di un corso dell’Alma Mater Studiorum – Università di Bologna, proposto e tenuto da ASSPECT (Associazione per la Promozione della Cultura Tecnica) e da docenti dell’Ateneo: un esempio, abbastanza raro, di collaborazione tra mondo accademico e industriale.

This volume contains the Proceedings of the Conference on Completeness Problems, Carleson Measures, and Spaces of Analytic Functions, held from June 29–July 3, 2015, at the Institut Mittag-Leffler, Djursholm, Sweden. The conference brought together experienced researchers and promising young mathematicians from many countries to discuss recent progress made in function theory, model spaces, completeness problems, and Carleson measures. This volume contains articles covering cutting-edge research questions, as well as longer survey papers and a report on the problem session that contains a collection of attractive open problems in complex and harmonic analysis.
Geothermal waters, hot enough to provide direct heating, are available in many parts of the world. Some are exploited already but many more are only now being considered, as planners begin to recognize the environmental benefits of this unfamiliar energy resource. The relative economic benefits are more marginal, however, and a successful scheme requires careful design and optimization. The nature of geothermal resources imposes special conditions which may be unfamiliar to many plant engineers. In addition, many different approaches are possible, depending on the characteristics of the resource and the user and on the operator's requirements. Must the scheme be optimized for energy recovery or for financial return, or is it more important that it should remain profitable over as wide a range of conditions as possible? This book, written by professional plant engineers with first-hand experience, is designed to guide plant engineers through the different options and to help in this optimization process.
This proceedings is based on the interdisciplinary workshop held in Madrid, 5-9 March 2018, dedicated to Alberto Ibort on his 60th birthday. Alberto has great and significantly contributed to many fields of mathematics and physics, always with highly original and innovative ideas.Most of Albertos’s scientific activity has been motivated by geometric ideas, concepts and tools that are deeply related to the framework of classical dynamics and quantum mechanics.Let us mention some of the fields of expertise of Alberto Ibort:Geometric Mechanics; Constrained Systems; Variational Principles; Multisymplectic structures for field theories; Super manifolds; Inverse problem for Bosonic and Fermionic...
