On an inequality conjectured by T.J. Lyons
No full text Let be any positive integer, and any positive real numbers. The inequality was conjectured for by T.J. Lyons, after he had proved it with an extra factor on the right, in a preprint (Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, 1995). Many numerical trials confirmed the conjecture, and none disproved it. The present paper proves it, with strict inequality, for all a in sufficiently small neighbourhoods of </p
User guide to the Centre for Population Change GHS database 1979-2009
No full textMáire Ní Bhrolcháin originated the proposal to create a time-series database of General Household Survey demographic histories from the 1970s to the present and was Principal Investigator on the project to create the data file. Éva Beaujouan assembled the database, with assistance from Mark Lyons-Amos, under the direction of Máire Ní Bhrolcháin and Ann Berrington. All authors have contributed to the compilation of this User Guide but Éva Beaujouan is its principal author
Clouds form preferentially over native vegetation
No full textThe replacement of native vegetation for agriculture leads to significant changes in land surface characteristics, such as albedo, surface roughness and canopy resistance. These land surface changes induce changes in the atmospheric boundary layer. It is shown that in Western Australia, this change in surface characteristics and in particular, the albedo, has reduced the occurrence of convective cloud formation through limiting the vertical development of the boundary layer
Interview of Robert S. Lyons, Jr.
No full textRobert S. Lyons, Jr. (1939-2013) graduated from La Salle College in 1961. The following is his obituary from McGhee Funeral Home:
Robert S. Lyons, Jr., of Upper Southampton, died Wednesday, June 5, 2013. He was 73. Born June 29, 1939, in Philadelphia, PA, Bob was the son of the late Robert and Catharine Lyons. Bob is survived by his; beloved wife Joan M. Lyons (nee Lang); children, Joanne Jenkins (Ken), Robert P., M.D. (Renee), Richard (Leanne), David (Julie), and Gregory. He will also be missed by his 11 grandchildren. Bob Lyons, the author of Palestra Pandemonium: A History of the Big 5, and On Any Given Sunday: A Life of Bert Bell, and co-author of The Eagles Encyclopedia (with Ray Didinger) and Big Al: Fifty Years of Adventures in Sports Broadcasting (with Al Meltzer) has been president of his own suburban-Philadelphia-based editorial services and public relations firm, since 1995. He has provided professional services to a variety of organizations including the Associated Press, Brandywine Global Investment Management, La Salle University, Merrill Lynch, Elf Atochem, Princeton University, and Philadelphia’s WHYY-TV, among others. Before forming his consulting firm, Lyons served in a number of capacities at La Salle University including director of the News Bureau, editor of LA SALLE, the university’s alumni quarterly magazine, and lecturer in the Communication Department, teaching courses in journalism, public relations, and advertising. A 1961 graduate of La Salle, Lyons joined the university in 1962 as the school’s first sports information director. During his seven-year tenure as SID, La Salle’s basketball media brochure was honored four times for excellence as the best publication in Dis-trict II (East) by the United States Basketball Writers Association. Lyons has also worked as a commercial advertising and public relations account executive, a news and sports reporter for The (former) Philadelphia Bulletin, and the public relations consultant for Abington (PA) Township. He was a sports correspondent for the Associated Press for more than 35 years before retiring in 2011. He has contributed free lance articles to numerous national publications including The Saturday Evening Post, Christian Science Monitor, Nation’s Business, Delta SKY Magazine, The Sporting News, and Baseball Digest, among others. The past president and former chairman of the board of the Philadelphia Public Relations Association, Lyons has also served on the boards of the Philadelphia Sportswriters Association and La Salle University Alumni Association, as well as the Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame selection committee. A native of Philadelphia and a 1957 graduate of Northeast Catholic High School, he was a Democratic Committeeman in the 23rd Division of the 50th Ward in the northwest section of the city from 1964 to 1971. He has also been a lector at St. Raymond of Penafort and Our Lady of Good Counsel Churches. https://mcgheefuneralhome.com/book-of-memories/1599831/lyons-robert/obituary.ph

Problems in stochastic analysis. Connections between rough paths and non-commutative harmonic analysis
No full textThe prevailing aim and flavour of this thesis, is to establish a link between Lyons' theory of Rough
Paths and more conventional notions of non commutative harmonic analysis. Three different directions
represent the lines of investigation.
it
The first is a generalization of an algebraic formalism, pertaining to classical pictures of the analysis
of functions on groups. The structures of Hopf algebras reveal an algebraic role of geometric rough paths
in relation to the shuffle algebra of one-forms.
The second direction examines path-space on Lie Groups and a generalization of the notion of rough
paths. It is shown how to approximate the length of a twice differentiable curve in two dimensions
through the iterated integral sequence and an analysis of curves in two dimensional hyperbolic space.
The formula is given in terms of the asymptotics of the iterated integral sequence.
The third and final direction, was motivated by an attempt to enlarge the definition of the Ito map
to non-geometric rough paths. It is shown how random geometric rough paths can be used to interpret
backward Ito multiplicative functionals. Some ideas regarding the extent to which the center of mass of
a distribution on geometric rough paths actually determines the distribution itself, are presented
