A 30-year-old man presented to our hospital with developmental delay, recurrent respiratory infections and short stature. Examination showed broad thumbs and hallux, beaked nose and big toes. Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RTS) was diagnosed based on typical clinical features. RTS was described by Rubinstein and Taybi in 19631. They reported a patient with big toes, craniofacial ab nor ma lities an...

We continue the study of [AS] on the Chapman-Rubinstein-Schatzman-E evolution model for superconductivity, viewed as a gradient flow on the space of measures equipped with the quadratic Wasserstein structure. In [AS] we considered the case of positive (probability) measures, while here we consider general signed measures, as in the physical model. Understanding the evolution as a gradient flow ...

The Black-Scholes ( 1973) option pricing model is a universal standard among option valuation models. Despite its widespread popularity, however, the model has some known deficiencies in actual applications. For example, when calibrated to accurately price at-the-money options, the Black-Scholes model frequently misprices deep in-the-money and deep out-of-the-money options. Pricing biases assoc...

In the common law of negligence, an individual breaches the duty of due care if she fails to act as would a “reasonable man” under the circumstances. A natural question, first posed by Rubinstein [8], is whether the “reasonable man” can be derived from the views of actual agents. Rubinstein introduced an axiomatic model and showed that there does not exist a non-dictatorial aggregation method w...

INTRODUCTION Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder resulting in congenital craniofacial deformities, and divided into types 1 and 2. Scoliosis has not been reported as one of the extra-cranial manifestations of Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome type 2. CASE PRESENTATION We present a 14-year-old British Caucasian girl with Rubinstein-Taybi type 2 syndrome who developed a severe d...

We develop a pricing algorithm for US-style period-average reset options written on an underlying asset which evolves in a Cox-Ross-Rubinstein (CRR) framework. The averaging feature of such an option on the reset period makes the price valuation problem computationally unfeasible because the arithmetic average is not recombining on a CRR tree. To overcome this obstacle, we associate to each nod...

Abnormal foot mechanics is the most common cause of hallux abducto valgus. To date no quantitative data regarding the relationship between abnormal foot mechanics and the degree of hallux abducto valgus has been presented. An outline of the abnormal foot mechanics responsible for hallux abducto valgus is described along with a technique for measuring the extent of abnormal function. A common in...
