For the implementation with jABC, the workflow was applied to the problem of finding a suitable location for placing an artificial reef. For this analysis three parameters (bathymetry, slope and grain size of the ground material) were taken into account, processed, and visualized with the The Generic Mapping Tools (GMT), which were integrated into the workflow as jETI-SIBs. The implemented workflow thereby showed that the approach to combine jABC with GMT resulted in an user-centric yet user-friendly tool with high-quality cartographic outputs.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Rudorf2014, author = {Rudorf, Sophia}, title = {Protein Synthesis by Ribosomes}, pages = {xii, 145}, year = {2014}, language = {en} } @unpublished{FedchenkoTarkhanov2014, author = {Fedchenko, Dmitry and Tarkhanov, Nikolai Nikolaevich}, title = {An index formula for Toeplitz operators}, volume = {3}, number = {12}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, issn = {2193-6943}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-72499}, pages = {24}, year = {2014}, abstract = {We prove a Fedosov index formula for the index of Toeplitz operators connected with the Hardy space of solutions to an elliptic system of first order partial differential equations in a bounded domain of Euclidean space with infinitely differentiable boundary.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Dyachenko2014, author = {Dyachenko, Evgeniya}, title = {Elliptic problems with small parameter}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-72056}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, year = {2014}, abstract = {In this thesis we consider diverse aspects of existence and correctness of asymptotic solutions to elliptic differential and pseudodifferential equations. We begin our studies with the case of a general elliptic boundary value problem in partial derivatives. A small parameter enters the coefficients of the main equation as well as into the boundary conditions. Such equations have already been investigated satisfactory, but there still exist certain theoretical deficiencies. Our aim is to present the general theory of elliptic problems with a small parameter. For this purpose we examine in detail the case of a bounded domain with a smooth boundary. First of all, we construct formal solutions as power series in the small parameter. Then we examine their asymptotic properties. It suffices to carry out sharp two-sided \emph{a priori} estimates for the operators of boundary value problems which are uniform in the small parameter. Such estimates failed to hold in functional spaces used in classical elliptic theory. To circumvent this limitation we exploit norms depending on the small parameter for the functions defined on a bounded domain. Similar norms are widely used in literature, but their properties have not been investigated extensively. Our theoretical investigation shows that the usual elliptic technique can be correctly carried out in these norms. The obtained results also allow one to extend the norms to compact manifolds with boundaries. We complete our investigation by formulating algebraic conditions on the operators and showing their equivalence to the existence of a priori estimates. In the second step, we extend the concept of ellipticity with a small parameter to more general classes of operators. Firstly, we want to compare the difference in asymptotic patterns between the obtained series and expansions for similar differential problems. Therefore we investigate the heat equation in a bounded domain with a small parameter near the time derivative. In this case the characteristics touch the boundary at a finite number of points. It is known that the solutions are not regular in a neighbourhood of such points in advance. We suppose moreover that the boundary at such points can be non-smooth but have cuspidal singularities. We find a formal asymptotic expansion and show that when a set of parameters comes through a threshold value, the expansions fail to be asymptotic. The last part of the work is devoted to general concept of ellipticity with a small parameter. Several theoretical extensions to pseudodifferential operators have already been suggested in previous studies. As a new contribution we involve the analysis on manifolds with edge singularities which allows us to consider wider classes of perturbed elliptic operators. We examine that introduced classes possess a priori estimates of elliptic type. As a further application we demonstrate how developed tools can be used to reduce singularly perturbed problems to regular ones.}, language = {en} } @book{Pilipenko2014, author = {Pilipenko, Andrey}, title = {An introduction to stochastic differential equations with reflection}, series = {Lectures in pure and applied mathematics}, journal = {Lectures in pure and applied mathematics}, number = {1}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-297-1}, issn = {2199-4951}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-70782}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {ix, 75}, year = {2014}, abstract = {These lecture notes are intended as a short introduction to diffusion processes on a domain with a reflecting boundary for graduate students, researchers in stochastic analysis and interested readers.

The model provides an effective realization of a large segmented strike-slip fault zone in a 3D elastic half-space, with heterogeneous distribution of static friction chosen to represent several clear step-overs at the surface. The simulated synthetic catalog reproduces well the basic statistical features of the instrumental seismicity recorded at the SJFZ area since 1981. The model also produces events larger than those included in the short instrumental record, consistent with paleo-earthquakes documented at sites along the SJFZ for the last 1,400 years. The general agreement between the synthetic and observed data allows us to address with the long-simulated seismicity questions related to large earthquakes and expected seismic hazard. The interaction between m a parts per thousand yen 7 events on different sections of the SJFZ is found to be close to random. The hazard associated with m a parts per thousand yen 7 events on the SJFZ increases significantly if the long record of simulated seismicity is taken into account. The model simulations indicate that the recent increased number of observed intermediate SJFZ earthquakes is a robust statistical feature heralding the occurrence of m a parts per thousand yen 7 earthquakes. The hypocenters of the m a parts per thousand yen 5 events in the simulation results move progressively towards the hypocenter of the upcoming m a parts per thousand yen 7 earthquake.}, language = {en} } @article{GreweBrinkopJoeckeletal.2014, author = {Grewe, Volker and Brinkop, Sabine and Joeckel, Patrick and Shin, Seoleun and Reich, Sebastian and Yserentant, Harry}, title = {On the theory of mass conserving transformations for Lagrangian methods in 3D atmosphere-chemistry models}, series = {Meteorologische Zeitschrift}, volume = {23}, journal = {Meteorologische Zeitschrift}, number = {4}, publisher = {Schweizerbart}, address = {Stuttgart}, issn = {0941-2948}, doi = {10.1127/0941-2948/2014/0552}, pages = {441 -- 447}, year = {2014}, language = {en} } @article{KleinRama2014, author = {Klein, Markus and Rama, Juliane}, title = {Time asymptotics of e(-ith(kappa)) for analytic matrices and analytic perturbation theory}, series = {Asymptotic analysis}, volume = {89}, journal = {Asymptotic analysis}, number = {3-4}, publisher = {IOS Press}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0921-7134}, doi = {10.3233/ASY-141226}, pages = {189 -- 233}, year = {2014}, abstract = {In quantum mechanics the temporal decay of certain resonance states is associated with an effective time evolution e(-ith(kappa)), where h(.) is an analytic family of non-self-adjoint matrices.
