Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -A swaption is a sort of fixed-income derivatives in finance, which are widely traded in financial markets. Thus, swaption pricing is a hot topic in financial mathematics. In this thesis, we will analyze swaptions whose short term interest rates are assumed to follow some affine models with dimension of factors more than two, so called multiple-factor interest rate models. Considering there is no analytical solution for such a swaption price , we attempt to approximate it, and our discussion will focus on one of these approximation method proposed by Collin-Dufresne and Goldstein. We will discuss the situations where the underlying interest rate models are Gaussian and CIR2++ respectively and develop this method by providing an accurate measure of approximation errors. Besides, other swaption pricing methods in literatures that provide different insights into swaption other than CDG approximation are discussed, as well as analytical solutions under one-factor interest rate models if exist.

The relationship between customers and organizations has become a very popular topic recently. However the existing literature doesn't include anything related to the upcoming phenomenon 'social network sites'. There is not much research about the effects and value of these social networks in the whole CRM process. This study will try to close the gap or make start for further research. Through an online survey, there will be tested what effects positive word of mouth through social media has on the variables of relationship management and whether this effect has any further positive influences.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Attitude versus Altitude is the seminal work by the well-loved and world-renowned Dr John Chibaya Mbuya, a contemporary of Earl Nightingale. A human mind is like a thinking machine, if used properly. Unfortunately human beings are not taught to think at an early age. They are taught to remember, but that is not thinking. The author has identified ten immortal rules that determine your place in the ranks of the world's most successful people, namely: enthusiasm, ego, knowledge, truth, money, sex, relationships, culture and religion, capabilities, glamour and manipulation. Want to achieve your dreams Then just follow Dr John Chibaya Mbuya's immortal rules.These rules don't change, regardless of who you are and where you are coming from. All you need to do is use them.Your altitude in life will depend mostly on how you use your mind.A human mind is a terrible thing to worst.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -The Australian oil and gas industry is highly important to the Australian economy. In this book author investigates the effects of weather, climate change, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on the market value of the Australian oil and gas industry, arising from an interdependent relationship between climate change and the hydrocarbon-producing oil and gas industry. The analysis is undertaken in the context of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and Kyoto Protocol GHG mitigation policies. The investigations are undertaken at both the industry (oil and gas) and firm (refining) levels using the most important asset pricing models and the application of advanced time series regression techniques. The findings confirm that investors consider weather, climate change and carbon dioxide information in their investment decisions. This book contributes to the emerging field of environmental finance.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Many theoretical studies as well as empirical investigations have proved that a well designed job leads towards motivated and satisfied employees. The focus of this research was to determine the job satisfaction and motivational level of the employees of banking sector of Pakistan through the application of job characteristics model given by Hackman & Oldham (1975). Empirical analysis techniques such as correlations and multiple regressions results showed that job characteristics are positively and significantly related to the personal outcomes: e.g.: general satisfaction, internal work motivation, growth satisfaction. The psychological states could not be proved as mediator between the job characteristics and personal outcomes. However importance of psychological states cannot be ignored. Regression coefficients of psychological states also showed the significant amount of variance explained by psychological states. The growth need strength could also not be proved as moderator. Overall the implications of this research can be very helpful for designing the motivating and satisfying jobs for the banking sector employees. 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Tailoring or modulation of drug release from delivery systems comprises a major area of research in pharmaceutical field where the primary objective is to either sustain drug release or to design orodispersible tablets. This objective can be successfully achieved by use of a class of natural excipients - gums and mucilages. These polysaccharidic plant-derived biopolymers because of their unique swellability in aqueous medium can exert a retardant effect on drug release or can act as superdisintegrant, depending on the concentration used in the formulation. Mechanism of drug release from hydrophilic matrices consisting of gums and mucilages is based on solvent penetration-induced polymer relaxation, diffusion of entrapped drug followed by degradation or erosion of the matrix. The degree and time-scale of swelling contributes significantly to the kinetics of drug release. Drug diffusion from polysaccharidic hydrogel may be of either Fickian, Case II or anomalous transport type. The book has been designed to highlight on the bifunctional aspect of the natural gums primarily because of their concentration-dependent effect on drug release and their high degree of swellability. 52 pp. Englisch.

BG contains Bacopa monneri (Brahmi), Evolvulous alsinoids, Acorus calamus, Saussurea lappa and cow's ghee. After creating inflammatory condition by Poly I:C infusion directly into the rat brain ventricle, BG was fed orally to the normal animals. The effect of BG on inflammation of hippocampus and cerebral cortex was studied using immunohistochemical markers: Iba-1, OX-6 and GFAP. In this investigation, the anti-inflammatory effects of BG was clearly observed in the form of downregulation of the proliferation and activation of microglial cells as well as the suppression of MHC-II expression as compare to Poly I:C treated groups. In conclusion, the constituents of BG acted as a neuroprotective agent and may also be useful as a neuroprotective formula in several neurodegenerative diseases. 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The LHCb experiment is built at the LHC collider at CERN. It is a forward single-arm spectrometer dedicated to precision measurements of CP violation and rare decays in the b quark sector. In the Standard Model, CP violation arises via the complex phase of the 3 x 3 CKM (Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa) quark mixing matrix. The LHCb experiment will test the unitarity of this matrix by measuring in several theoretically unrelated ways all angles and sides of the so-called 'unitary triangle'. This will allow to over-constrain the model and - hopefully - to exhibit inconsistencies which will be a signal of physics beyond the Standard Model. The Vertex reconstruction is a fundamental requirement for the LHCb experiment. Displaced secondary vertices are a distinctive feature of b-hadron decays. This signature is used in the LHCb topology trigger. The Vertex Locator (VeLo) has to provide precise measurements of track coordinates close to the interaction region. These are used to reconstruct production and decay vertices of beauty-hadrons and to provide accurate measurements of their decay lifetimes. The VeLo electronics was designed in parallel with the silicon detector development. 108 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In the last two decades, suicide bombings became quite common among some communities in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, India, Sri Lanka, USA, and a few African and European countries. The modeling of reported suicide bombings has been the subject of a few studies, but the pattern of incidents turned out to be difficult to assess. Nevertheless, to uncover the bombing patterns in past incident locations is of major importance because it can improve social security and save human lives. It is believed that most of the Suicide Attack, with few exceptions, happens with long term planning and preparation from the offender's side to attack the target people at a specific geographic location and time. The Capital city of Afghanistan, Kabul, has experienced on average around one suicide attack in every month since 2001. The overall objective of this study is to characterize the spatial and temporal patterns of suicide attack incidences occurred in Kabul City since 2006 to 2010. 100 pp. Englisch.
