In ___MASK71___ , stochastic ___MASK39___ is the study of random spatial patterns . At the heart of the subject lies the study of random point patterns . This leads to the theory of spatial point processes , hence notions of Palm conditioning , which extend to the more abstract setting of random measures . Gloucestershire (; abbreviated Glos .) is a county in South West England . The county comprises part of the Cotswold Hills , part of the flat fertile valley of the ___MASK64___ Severn , and the entire Forest of Dean . The Engadin or Engadine (, , ; lit .: " Valley of the Inn people ") is a long high Alpine valley region in the eastern Swiss Alps located in the canton of Graubünden in most southeastern Switzerland with about 25 , 000 inhabitants . It follows the route of the Inn from its headwaters at Maloja Pass in the southwest running roughly northeast until the Inn flows into Austria , one hundred kilometers downstream . The En / Inn subsequently flows at Passau into the Donau , as the only Swiss ___MASK64___ . The Engadine is protected by high mountain ranges on all sides and is famous for its sunny climate , beautiful landscapes and outdoor activities . A mountain is a large landform that stretches above the surrounding land in a limited area , usually in the form of a peak . A mountain is generally steeper than a hill . Mountains are formed through tectonic forces or volcanism . These forces can locally raise the surface of the earth . Mountains erode slowly through the ___MASK96___ of rivers , weather conditions , and glaciers . A few mountains are isolated summits , but most occur in huge mountain ranges . Somerset is a county in South West England which borders Gloucestershire and Bristol to the north , Wiltshire to the east , Dorset to the south - east and Devon to the south - west . It is bounded to the north and west by the Severn Estuary and the Bristol Channel , its coastline facing southeastern Wales . Its traditional border with Gloucestershire is the ___MASK64___ Avon . Somerset ' s county town is Taunton . Rollo Davidson ( b . Bristol , 8 October 1944 , d . Piz Bernina , 29 July 1970 ) was a probabilist , alpinist , and Fellow - elect of Churchill College , Cambridge , who died aged 25 on Piz Bernina . He is known for his work on semigroups , stochastic ___MASK39___ , and stochastic analysis , and for the Rollo Davidson Prize , given in his name to young probabilists . Churchill College is a constituent college of the University of Cambridge , England . It has a primary focus on ___MASK22___ , ___MASK12___ and ___MASK79___ , but still retains a strong interest in the arts and humanities . Cambridge is a university city and the county town of Cambridgeshire , England , on the ___MASK64___ Cam about north of London . At the United Kingdom Census 2011 , its population was 123 , 867 , including 24 , 488 students . The Alps are the highest and most extensive mountain range system that lies entirely in Europe , stretching approximately across eight Alpine countries : Austria , France , Germany , Italy , Liechtenstein , Monaco , Slovenia , and Switzerland . The mountains were formed over tens of millions of years as the African and Eurasian tectonic plates collided . Extreme shortening caused by the event resulted in marine sedimentary rocks rising by thrusting and folding into high mountain peaks such as Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn . Mont Blanc spans the ___MASK45___  Italian border , and at is the highest mountain in the Alps . The Alpine region area contains about a hundred peaks higher than 4000 metres ( just over 13 , 000 feet ). London is the capital and most populous city of England and the United Kingdom , as well as the most populous city proper in the European Union . Standing on the ___MASK64___ Thames in the south east of the island of Great Britain , London has been a major settlement for two millennia . It was founded by the Romans , who named it " Londinium ". London ' s ancient core , the City of London , largely retains its medieval boundaries . Since at least the 19th century , " London " has also referred to the metropolis around this core , historically split between Middlesex , Essex , Surrey , Kent , and Hertfordshire , which today largely makes up Greater London , governed by the ___MASK61___ of London and the London Assembly . The Rollo Davidson Prize is a prize awarded annually to early - career probabilists by the Rollo Davidson trustees . It is named after ___MASK28___ mathematician Rollo Davidson ( 1944  1970 ). In ___MASK4___ , a random measure is a measure - valued random element . Let X be a complete separable metric space and formula_1 the  - algebra of its Borel sets . A Borel measure  on X is boundedly finite if  ( A ) <  for every bounded Borel set A . Let formula_2 be the space of all boundedly finite measures on formula_1 . Let be a probability space , then a random measure maps from this probability space to the measurable space . A measure generally might be decomposed as : England is a country that is part of the United Kingdom . It shares land borders with Scotland to the north and Wales to the west . The Irish Sea lies northwest of England and the Celtic Sea lies to the southwest . England is separated from continental Europe by the North Sea to the east and the ___MASK28___ Channel to the south . The country covers five - eighths of the island of Great Britain ( which lies in the North Atlantic ) in its centre and south ; and includes over 100 smaller islands such as the Isles of Scilly , and the Isle of Wight . Gloucester is a city and district in southwest England , the county city of Gloucestershire . Gloucester lies close to the Welsh border , on the ___MASK64___ Severn , between the Cotswolds to the east and the Forest of Dean to the southwest . Piz Bernina is the highest mountain in the Eastern Alps , the highest point of the Bernina Range , and the highest peak in the Rhaetian Alps . It is also the most easterly mountain higher than in the Alps , the highest point of the Swiss canton of Graubünden , and the fifth - most prominent peak in the Alps . Piz Bernina is located south of Pontresina and near the major Alpine resort of St . Moritz , in the Engadin valley . The Rhaetian Alps are a mountain range of the Eastern Alps . The SOIUSA ___MASK63___ system divides them into the Western and Eastern Rhaetian Alps , while the Alpine Club ___MASK63___ of the Eastern Alps places most of the Rhaetion subranges within the Western Limestone Alps . They are located along the Italian  Swiss and Austrian  Swiss borders , in the canton of Graubünden in eastern Switzerland ; in the state of Tyrol in Austria ; and in the Italian regions of Trentino - Alto Adige and Lombardy . Eastern Alps is the name given to the eastern half of the Alps , usually defined as the area east of a line from Lake Constance and the Alpine Rhine valley up to the Splügen Pass at the Alpine divide and down the Liro ___MASK64___ to Lake Como in the south . The peaks and mountain passes are lower compared to the Western Alps , while the range itself is broader and less arched . Bristol is a city , unitary authority area and county in South West England with an estimated population of 449 , 300 in 2016 . It is England ' s sixth and the United Kingdom ' s eighth most populous city , and the most populous city in Southern England after London . The city borders the Unitary Authority areas of North Somerset and South Gloucestershire , with the historic cities of Bath and Gloucester to the south - east and north - east , respectively .
