OxTalks is Changing
            
                On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
            
            
                There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.

Continuous-state branching process with dependent immigration
    
	We are interested in a population model called continuous-state branching process with dependent immigration (CBDI-processes). The immigration rate of the model depends on the current population size via a function that can be non-Lipschitz. We give a construction of the process using a stochastic equation driven by Poisson point measures on some path spaces. This approach gives a direct construction of the sample path of the process with general branching and immigration mechanisms from those of the corresponding CB-process without immigration. By choosing the ingredients suitably, we can get either a new CB-process with different branching mechanism or a branching model with competition. We focus on the one-dimensional model, but the arguments carry over to the measure-valued setting. These kinds of constructions have been proved useful for the study of some financial problems.
