      This paper studies an equilibrium model between an insurance buyer and an insurance seller, where both parties' risk preferences are given by convex risk measures. The interaction is modeled through a Stackelberg type game, ...
    • Fuenzalida Ponce, Humberto; Rosenblüth López, Benjamín (1990-03)
      The most common procedures to prewhite a climatological time series are considered and compared with those based on Fourier analysis. In particular, advantages and shortcomings of the anomaly method and the seasonal ...

      The global fight against HIV/AIDS is hindered by a lack of drugs in the developing world. When patients in these countries initiate treatment, they typically remain on it until death; thus, policy makers and physicians ...
    • Basso Sotz, Leonardo; Zhang, Anming (ELSEVIER, 2010)
      This paper analyzes pricing and slot-allocation mechanisms to manage airport capacity when profits are important to an airport, owing to budget constraints or profit maximization. We find that congestion pricing and slot ...
    • Correa Haeussler, José; Figueroa González, Nicolás; Lederman, Roger; Stier Moses, Nicolás E. (Springer, 2014)
      We study a game that models a market in which heterogeneous producers of perfect substitutes make pricing decisions in a first stage, followed by consumers that select a producer that sells at lowest price. As opposed ...
    • Méndez, Andrea; Rojas, Diego A.; Ponce, Carolina A.; Bustamante, Rebeca; Beltrán, Caroll J.; Toledo, Jorge; García-Angulo, Victor A.; Henriquez, Mauricio; Vargas, Sergio L. (Public Library of Science, 2019)
      Clara cells are the main airway secretory cells able to regenerate epithelium in the distal airways through transdifferentiating into goblet cells, a process under negative regulation of the Notch pathway. Pneumocystis is ...
    • Fumagalli, Jacopo; Palma Quilodrán, Gonzalo; Renaux-Petel, Sébastien; Sypsas, Spyros; Witkowskia, Lukas T.; Zenteno, Cristóbal (Springer, 2022)
      We show that a scalar excited state with large occupation numbers during inflation leads to an enhancement of tensor modes and a characteristic pattern of order-one oscillations in the associated stochastic gravitational ...
    • Cooke, Ryan J.; Noterdaeme, Pasquier; Johnson, James W.; Pettini, Max; Welsh, Louise; Peroux, Celine; Murphy, Michael T.; Weinberg, David H. (IOP, 2022)
      We report the first direct measurement of the helium isotope ratio, He-3/He-4, outside of the Local Interstellar Cloud, as part of science-verification observations with the upgraded CRyogenic InfraRed Echelle Spectrograph. ...
    • Bustamante Plaza, Roger; Shariff, M. (Elsevier, 2015)
      In this work a new set of principal axis invariants is proposed in order to study the problem of considering large magneto-elastic deformations, for bodies that are isotropic in the un-deformed configuration when no external ...
    • Cai, Lingzhi; Marthelot, Joel; Falcón Beas, Claudia; Reis, Pedro M.; Brun, Pierre Thomas (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020)
      In recent years the research community has paid significant attention to geometrically engineered materials. These materials derive their unique properties from their structure rather than their chemistry alone. Despite ...
