The Significant Structure Theory Applied to a Mesophase System

The significant structure theory applied to a mesophase system.

The significant structure theory of liquids is extended to the mesophase system with p-azoxyanisole as an example. This compound has two different structures, a nematic phase and an isotropic phase, in its liquid state. In this study the nematic phase is treated as subject to a second volume and temperature-dependent degeneracy formally like that due to melting. The isotropic phase is treated a...

Cognitive Strategic Model applied to a Port System

Port organizations have focused their efforts on physical or tangible assets, generating profitability and value. However, it is recognized that the greatest sustainable competitive advantage is the creation of knowledge using the intangible assets of the organization. The Balanced ScoreCard, as a performance tool, has incorporated intangible assets such as intellectual, structural and social c...

A Quantum Field Theory Term Structure Model Applied to Hedging

A quantum field theory generalization, Baaquie [1], of the Heath, Jarrow, and Morton (HJM) [10] term structure model parsimoniously describes the evolution of imperfectly correlated forward rates. Field theory also offers powerful computational tools to compute path integrals which naturally arise from all forward rate models. Specifically, incorporating field theory into the term structure fac...
