Background: Dementia is a syndrome characterized by progressive cognitive impairment, psychological and behavioural symptoms, and functional deficits. It is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide; its impact and the associated costs are enormous. Consequently, dementia is a global public health priority, and so is Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the most common cause of dementia in late...

Asdourian, Bruno ; Zimmerli, Virginie

In: Strategic communication for non-profit organisations, 2016, p. 239-266

The communication between users of digital media and public or non-profit organization involved into an open data policy are represented through a democratic way with upwards and downward flows; implying an evolving participation of citizens and a progressive openness of a company’s database.

Our paper presents a model of decentralized leadership with fiscal equalization and imperfect trade liberalization. The degree of trade integration (reflected by trade costs) turns out to have an effect on both state corporate taxes and ex-post vertical equalization transfers. Our main results are the following: when public goods are highly valued by the citizens of the federation, ex post...

Multilevel minimization in trust-region framework : algorithmic and software developments

Kopaničáková, Alena ; Krause, Rolf (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Università della Svizzera italiana, 2020 ; 2020INFO021.

The field of scientific computing is associated with the modeling of complex physical phenomena. The resulting numerical models are often described by differential equations, which, in many cases, can be related to non-convex minimization problems. Thus, after discretization, the solution of large-scale non-convex optimization problem is required. Various iterative solution strategies can be...
