Abstract. Stricter political regulations, increasing ecological awareness of society as well the pursuit for higher performance components motivate lightweight construction. Functional integration is one way to realize design, resulting in increased demands on component geometry. Sheet-bulk metal forming (SBMF) offers potential enable an economic and production functional through short process ...

In this paper, we consider the problem of mean-variance hedging in an incomplete market where the underlying assets are jump diffusion processes which are driven by Brownian motion and doubly stochastic Poisson processes. This problem is formulated as a stochastic control problem and closed form expressions for the optimal hedging policy are obtained using methods from stochastic control and th...

This paper presents a bi-directional resource-bounded label correcting algorithm for the traveling salesman problem with time windows, in which the objective is to minimize travel times. Label extensions and dominance start simultaneously in both forward and backward directions: the forward direction from the starting depot and the backward direction from the terminating depot. The resultant la...

PURPOSE This study reports the development of the Korean Version of the Treatment Satisfaction Visual Analogue Scale (TS-VAS) and the Overactive Bladder Satisfaction with Treatment Questionnaire (OAB-SAT-q) based on the original versions, with subsequent linguistic validation by Korean patients with overactive bladder receiving active treatment from a physician. METHODS Translation and lingui...

Data Mining, is the process of discovery of new patterns and knowledge from large dataset. Web mining is the application of data mining techniques to extract and mine useful knowledge and interesting patterns from World Wide Web .Web data including web documents, hyperlinks between documents, usage logs of web sites. The web usage data captures the identity and origin of the web user along thei...

Reverse micelle extraction has received considerable attention in recent years due to its ability to selectively solubilise solutes from an aqueous phase and to maintain their biological activities. This paper presents the results from studies on extraction of penicillin G from aqueous solution (forward extraction) and from reverse micelles to a new aqueous solution (backward extraction), by em...

In this article, we introduce a backward method to model stochastic gene expression and protein-level dynamics. The protein amount is regarded as a diffusion process and is described by a backward stochastic differential equation (BSDE). Unlike many other SDE techniques proposed in the literature, the BSDE method is backward in time; that is, instead of initial conditions it requires the specif...

This paper describes scalar queue conversion, a compiler transformation that makes scalar renaming an explicit operation through a process similar to closure conversion. We demonstrate how to use scalar queue conversion to slice a flow graph into two executable parts. When executed, the backward slice creates queues of suspended computations (continuations). At any point in time execution of th...
