The study describes the development of the Social Justice Scale (SJS). Practitioners, educators, students, and other members of the community differ on their attitudes and values regarding social justice. It is important to assess, not only individuals' attitudes and values around social values, but also other constructs that might be related to social justice behaviors. The implication of Ajze...

Efficient numerical methods for pricing American options using Heston’s stochastic volatility model is proposed. Based on this model the price of a European option can be obtained by solving a two-dimensional parabolic partial differential equation. For an American option the early exercise possibility leads to a lower bound for the price of the option. This price can be computed by solving a l...

Interior point methods for semideenite optimization (SDO) have recently been studied intensively, due to their polynomial complexity and practical eeciency. Most of these methods are extensions of linear optimization (LO) algorithms. Unlike in the LO case, there are several diierent ways of constructing primal-dual search directions in SDO. The usual scheme is to apply linearization in conjunct...

Multi-boson symmetrization effects on two-particle Bose-Einstein interferometry are studied for ensembles with arbitrary multiplicity distributions. In the general case one finds interesting residual correlations which require a modified framework for extracting information on the source geometry from two-particle correlation measurements. In sources with high phase-space densities, multi-boson...

Maximal Inequalities for degenerate U-processes of order k, k ≥ 1, are established. The results rest on a moment inequality (due to Bonami (1970)) for kth-order forms, and extensions of chaining and symmetrization inequalities from the theory of empirical processes. Rates of uniform convergence are obtained. The maximal inequalities can be used to determine the limiting distribution of estimato...
