Pro-inflammatory potency of particulate matter derived from a road tunnel in comparison to stone particles and diesel exhaust particle

Template Model Builder (TMB) is an R-package that is well suited for performing fast inference with latent Gaussian models when the likelihood can be written as a three times differentiable function. TMB automatically differentiates the likelihood and utilizes Markov structures to efficiently integrate over latent variables with the Laplace approximation. In this seminar I will first introduce TMB and then elaborate a fish stock assessment model implemented with use of TMB that provides quota advice for approximately 25 different fish species in Europe.

In this talk, I will briefly describe four different perspectives from the educational research literature on what it means to learn scientific computing: 1) modeling, 2) practices, 3) computational thinking, and 4) computational literacy.

I will also touch on the epistemologies inherent to each theory - what they have to say about scientific knowledge, cite key references, and suggest instructional approaches tailored to each approach.

Evaluating DNA-metabarcoding as a tool to detect rare species of Cortinarius in ancient calcareous Tilia cordata forests

A cohomology class of a smooth complex variety of dimension n has coniveau ≥c if it vanishes in the complement of a closed subvariety of codimension ≥c, and has strong coniveau ≥c if it comes by proper pushforward from the cohomology of a smooth variety of dimension ≤n−c. We show that these two notions differ in general, both for integral classes on smooth projective varieties and for rational classes on smooth open varieties. This is joint work with Olivier Benoist.
