This is a short comment on Kung and Lee’s paper. In this note, we show that the formulae given in Kung and Lee(2009) for European call and put option under Merton’s model of the short rate are incorrect. We give the correct derivations making use of the ”change of numeraire” technique which is simpler and more standard. Key-words: Stochastic Interest rates, Change of Numeraire, Call option pric...

Vasil'ev posed Problem 16.26 in [The Kourovka Notebook: Unsolved Problems in Group Theory, 16th ed.,Sobolev Inst. Math., Novosibirsk (2006).] as follows:Does there exist a positive integer $k$ such that there are no $k$ pairwise nonisomorphicnonabelian finite simple groups with the same graphs of primes? Conjecture: $k = 5$.In [Zvezdina, On nonabelian simple groups having the same prime graph a...

During May 2009 and July 2011, we collected 357 mammals and examined each for ectoparasites. Among the ectoparasites collected, a new species of flea was discovered. This new species, Lentistivalius philippinensis, is described from the male sex only. Two males were recovered from two specimens of the soricid Crocidura grayi Dobson in Municipality Maria Aurora, Aurora Province, Luzon, Philippin...

Chemically defined media for the growth of Pasteurella tularensis have been described by Tamura and Fleming (1949) and more recently by Giesken (1954), Mager et al. (1954), and Traub et al. (1955). Upon application of the latter medium (Traub et al.) for the growth of a virulent strain of P. tularensis, it was noted that the viable cell yields were markedly lower than yields previously obtained...

For any non-compact Riemannian manifold M of dimension n ≥ 2 we previously defined a function λM : M×M → R+ = R+∪{+∞] only dependent on the conformal structure of M , and proved that for a class of manifolds containing all the proper subdomains of R, λ 1 n M was a distance on M [F1, F2]. The case of a domain G of R has been the object of several investigations leading to estimations of λG[V1, ....
