Between 1971 and 1985 there was a significant rise in the annual hospital discharge rate for acute appendicitis in Glasgow Asian boys aged 10-19.9 years. A smaller and statistically insignificant rise occurred in Asian girls of 10-19.9 years; discharge rates for younger Asian boys and girls did not change significantly. In keeping with national trends, discharge rates for acute appendicitis in ...

In Asian-American communities, religious education for justice and peace is often framed by the discussion of racial and ethnic identity. Since racism is a serious social problem in the United States, it is important for Asian-Americans to continue to participate in racial justice movements and discussions of identity politics. Upholding the important works that AsianAmericans have produced, th...

a r t i c l e i n f o To understand the unique aspects of Asian business practice, we propose a conceptual framework of institution-based, legitimacy-embedded efficiency. We underscore the institutional foundations of Asian business practice and propose that gaining legitimacy takes priority in order to attain the efficiency that follows from legitimacy in Asian business practice. We then highl...

BACKGROUND Coronary artery disease affects a significantly larger proportion of Canadians of South Asian origin than Canadians of other ethnic origins. We compared differences in presentation, risk factors and management of myocardial infarction (MI) between South Asian Canadians and matched control subjects. METHODS We reviewed the charts of 553 South Asian patients and 553 non-South Asian m...

The U.S. Asian population consists of many culturally and geographically diverse ethnic subgroups. In nationally representative population-based samples, these groups often are lumped together in race categories such as “Asian” or “Other,” which can mask differences in the ways that environmental exposures affect health in subpopulations. In a pair of new studies in EHP, researchers assess diet...

In this paper, arithmetic average Asian options are studied. It is observed that the Asian option is a special case of the option on a traded account. The price of the Asian option is characterized by a simple one-dimensional partial differential equation which could be applied to both continuous and discrete average Asian option. The article also provides numerical implementation of the pricin...

We study the numerical solution of the Greeks of Asian options. In particular, we derive a close form solution of Δ of Asian geometric option and use this analytical form as a control to numerically calculate Δ of Asian arithmetic option, which is known to have no explicit close form solution. We implement our proposed numerical method and compare the standard error with other classical varianc...
