On the interspike-intervals of periodically-driven integrate-and-fire models
PublicationWe analyze properties of the firing map, which iterations give information about consecutive spikes, for periodically driven linear integrate-and-fire models. By considering locally integrable (thus in general not continuous) input functions, we generalize some results of other authors. In particular, we prove theorems concerning continuous dependence of the firing map on the input in suitable function spaces. Using mathematical...

Typing of Candida isolates from patients with invasive infection and concomitant colonization
PublicationWe investigated the relationship between colonizing and invasive isolates from patients with candidaemia. Molecular typing was performed using random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and multilocus sequence typing (MLST). We found MLST to be sufficient for typing Candida isolates, and that surveillance cultures are helpful in predicting concomitant invasive isolates, but not necessarily the pathogen involved in subsequent...

Amplifying the Randomness of Weak Sources Correlated With Devices
PublicationThe problem of device-independent randomness amplification against no-signaling adversaries has so far been studied under the assumption that the weak source of randomness is uncorrelated with the (quantum) devices used in the amplification procedure. In this paper, we relax this assumption, and reconsider the original protocol of Colbeck and Renner using a Santha-Vazirani (SV) source. To do so, we introduce an SV-like condition...
