We develop a simple robust link between deep out-of-the-money American put options on a company’s stock and a credit insurance contract on the company’s bond. We assume that the stock price stays above a barrier B before default but drops below a lower barrier A after default, thus generating a default corridor [A, B] that the stock price can never enter. Given the presence of this default corr...

It is my pleasure to welcome you formally as clinical medical students at the Royal Victoria Hospital. All of you already will have been here long enough to realise that the successful metabolism of this hospital depends in large part on the integrative action of the main corridor. As you walk down the corridor you will meet your friends, and recognise all the different members ofthe hospital s...

In this paper, we are going to investigate the growth of the Iranian maritime transport with a focus mainly on the North - South transit Corridor, review of dry ports in order to support the Iranian container terminals at the south ports in order to increase the volume of container storages at the terminals. For the purpose of assessing the outcome of port operational management, the Balanced ...

Bats emit biosonar pulses in complex temporal patterns that change to accommodate dynamic surroundings. Efforts to quantify these patterns have included analyses of inter-pulse intervals, sonar sound groups, and changes in individual signal parameters such as duration or frequency. Here, the similarity in temporal structure between trains of biosonar pulses is assessed. The spike train similari...

Smoke management system is proposed for life safety in karaoke establishments. Arguments are supported by simulating different scenarios with a two-layer zone model. A typical room-corridor structure of a karaoke establishment is selected. Different ventilation arrangements are considered. With careful design such as adequate extraction rates, smoke layer in the corridor can be kept at high lev...

The range of Himalayan marmot ( Marmota himalayana Hodgson, 1841) has an insular character, as it is limited by ecological and geographical barriers: in the north, northeast east, these are deserts Loess Plateau, west - mountain peaks covered with glaciers rivers, south forests southern macro slope Himalayas. Only northwest there corridor. isolation populations marmots provokes divergence alarm...

We present an autonomous algorithm for 3d reconstruction from a single image of an indoor scene. Most work on 3d reconstruction from vision uses multiple images (for example, binocular vision/stereopsis), and recovers depths using triangulation. However, the range at which binocular vision is accurate is limited by the “baseline” distance between the two cameras. In contrast, humans are often a...

The unique geographic location of the European part Russia, which determines its transit potential, presents significant opportunities for effective development transport complex, since it is here that a kind international crossroads two corridors: "East-West" and "North-South" located. For inland water transport, North-South International Transport Corridor (ITC) greatest interest, through tra...
