Batch gradient descent, ~w(t) = -7JdE/dw(t) , conver~es to a minimum of quadratic form with a time constant no better than '4Amax/ Amin where Amin and Amax are the minimum and maximum eigenvalues of the Hessian matrix of E with respect to w. It was recently shown that adding a momentum term ~w(t) = -7JdE/dw(t) + Q'~w(t 1) improves this to ~ VAmax/ Amin, although only in the batch case. Here we ...

The Amin and Bodurtha (1995) framework, building on a discrete-time version of the Heath, Jarrow, and Morton (1992) term structure model and the binomial model of Cox, Ross, and Rubinstein (1979), allows a consistent valuation of instruments driven by three sources of uncertainty: domestic interest rate risk, foreign interest rate risk and exchange rate risk. This makes the framework applicable...

The state-of-the art of psychological knowledge about the personality types is distilled to provide a basis for the specification of fuzzy agents with dynamic personality for the simulation of human behavior. The thirty facets, clustered in five traits (or, factors) to determine the personality types are outlined. Three concise representations of the primary characteristics of human personality...

Consider the minimal Sturm-Liouville operator A = Amin generated by the differential expression

After the inscription of Historic City Yazd on UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 2017, number tourists visiting increased. The area is formed several neighborhoods. This study aims to propose a conservation plan for oldest, Shah Abul-Ghasem Neighborhood, using urban design qualities suggested by Golkar. based field survey neighborhood was carried out such way that items related were photographed ...

The article summarizes the proceedings of a symposium on recent advances in research on the pathogenesis of alcoholic liver disease at the 2001 RSA meeting in Montreal, Canada. The chairs were Amin A. Nanji and Samuel W. French. The presentations were (1) Role of inflammatory mediators in alcoholic liver injury by Amin A. Nanji, (2) Role of endotoxin, lipopolysaccharide binding protein, CD14 an...
