Hewett [log in to unmask] Date: November 27, 2013 Subject: PySIT: Python Seismic Imaging Toolbox v0.5 Russell J. Hewett and Laurent Demanet of the Imaging and Computing Group at MIT are pleased to announce the first public release of PySIT: a Seismic Imaging Toolbox for Python. PySIT is available at http://www.pysit.org. PySIT is a research and pedagogical package for optimization-based seismic imaging, in the framework of full waveform inversion (FWI), built using the standard tools of scientific Python. PySIT is designed to be a common platform from which the community can rapidly prototype and reproducibly benchmark new techniques against well-known methods from the literature. The package also contains a quick-start guide for newcomers to imaging and wave equations. A suite of gallery problems is provided, including access to community models such as the Marmousi and BP velocity models. PySIT is freely available under a BSD license, and development will continue under an open model. Community contributions are welcome. Code documentation and cross-platform installation instructions are available on the project's web page. The PySIT team is grateful for support from Total SA, the ERL consortium at MIT, AFOSR, ONR, and NSF. Please feel free to contact us on the Google Groups forum for the project, https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/pysit, with any questions. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Peter Olver [log in to unmask] Date: December 01, 2013 Subject: New Book, Introduction to Partial Differential Equations Now in print: Introduction to Partial Differential Equations by Peter J.

Kvasov [log in to unmask] Date: November 28, 2013 Subject: Global Optimization, CST2014, Italy, Sep 2014 Black-Box Global Optimization: Fast Algorithms and Engineering Applications (special session at the CST2014: The Twelfth International Conference on Computational Structures Technology) 2-5 September 2014 Hotel Royal Continental, Naples, Italy http://www.civil-comp.com/conf/cstect2014/cst2014-s23.htm The aim of this session is to create a multidisciplinary discussion platform focused on new theoretical, computational and applied results in solving black-box multiextremal optimization problems. In these problems, frequently encountered in engineering design, the objective function and constraints (if any) are multidimensional functions with unknown analytical representations often evaluated by performing computationally expensive simulations. Researchers from both theoretical and applied sciences are welcome to present their recent developments concerning this important class of optimization problems. To encourage young researchers to attend these conferences a 1000 Euro Young (35 years or younger) Researcher Best Paper Prize will be awarded to the best paper presented at the conferences.

The successful candidate will join the MOISE (https://team.inria.fr/moise/en/) research team. In the context of this thesis, we would like to study the numerical implementation of ocean-atmosphere coupling in IPCC-like climate models. Current coupling methods are ad-hoc methods which are not fully satisfactory from a mathematical point of view. We intend to study multiphysics coupling algorithms in this context, and how the mathematical formulation of the turbulent air/sea fluxes in the atmospheric surface layer could fit in this framework.
