      [OWR-2014-19] (2014) - (13 Apr - 19 Apr 2014)
      Tumour cell invasion is an essential hallmark in the progression of malignant cancer. Thereby, cancer cells migrate through the surrounding tissue (normal cells, extracellular matrix, interstitial fluid) towards blood or ...

    • 1449a - Mini-Workshop: Dynamical versus Diffraction Spectra in the Theory of Quasicrystals 

      [OWR-2014-53] (2014) - (30 Nov - 06 Dec 2014)
      The dynamical (or von Neumann) spectrum of a dynamical system and the diffraction spectrum of the corresponding measure dynamical system are intimately related. While their equivalence in the case of pure point spectra is ...

    • 1409b - Mini-Workshop: Negative Curves on Algebraic Surfaces 

      [OWR-2014-10] (2014) - (23 Feb - 01 Mar 2014)
      Negative curves play a prominent role in the geometry of projective surfaces. They occur naturally as the irreducible components of exceptional loci of resolutions of surface singularities, at the same time, they are closely ...

    • Operator theory and the singular value decomposition
