Hypofractionated radiotherapy for the adjuvant treatment of breast cancer has been standard practice in UK since 2009. Ten-year follow-up data from START-B have confirmed efficacy 40 Gy 15 fractions, with reduced toxicity when compared previous 50 25 fractions [[1]Haviland J.S. Owen J.R. Dewar J.A. Agrawal R.K.

the object of this study was evaluation of a walking tractor drawn peanut harvester at different conditions of soil moisture content and forward speed and comparing it with manual harvesting. the evaluation factors for peanut harvester were two levels of soil moisture content and three levels of forward speed. the results revealed that the effect of soil moisture content was only significant on...

We study a class of ergodic BSDEs related to PDEs with Neumann boundary conditions. The randomness of the driver is given by a forward process under weakly dissipative assumptions with an invertible and bounded diffusion matrix. Furthermore, this forward process is reflected in a convex subset of R not necessarily bounded. We study the link of such EBSDEs with PDEs and we apply our results to a...

An important determinant of option prices is the elasticity of the pricing kernel used to price all claims in the economy. In this paper, we rst show that for a given forward price of the underlying asset, option prices are higher when the elasticity of the pricing kernel is declining than when it is constant. We then investigate the implications of the elasticity of the pricing kernel for the ...

In this paper,we consider theCOSmethod for pricing European andBermudan options under the stochastic alpha beta rho (SABR) model. In the COS pricing method, we make use of the characteristic function of the discrete forward process. We observe second-order convergence by using a second-order Taylor scheme in the discretization, or by using Richardson extrapolation in combination with a Euler–Ma...

one of the most important parts of power transmission in automotives is c.v. joint, which consists of four components where exterior bowl is one of them. due to its complexity, and importance in automobile and existence of high stresses, forging process is the only cost effective method of production. hence, the best method of production of this part is forging process. the exterior part of c.v...

In this paper, which is a substantial extension of an earlier essay [3], we give an overview of some recent work on the geometric properties of the evolution of the forward rate curve in an arbitrage free bond market. The main problems to be discussed are as follows. • When is a given forward rate model consistent with a given family of forward rate curves? • When can the inherently infinite di...
