In this talk I will give an overview of some work on models for predicting urban crime patterns, ranging from stochastic models to differential equations. I will then present some work on data assimilation techniques that have been developed and applied for this problem, so that these models can be joined with real data for purposes of model fitting and crime forecasting.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESecond talk title]\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EGame Theoretical Model of Religious Group Evolution\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESecond talk abstract]\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EReligious groups produce collective goods. The group\u0026rsquo;s production is\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nincreasing in members\u0026rsquo; contributions. Religious services can be represented\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nby a unidimensional trait called \u0026quot;strictness\u0026quot;, that dictates the minimum\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\ncontribution of members.
