This paper examines risk-averse and risk-seeking investor preferences for oil spot and futures prices by using the mean-variance (MV) criterion and stochastic dominance (SD) approach.

A new method is proposed for improving microarray spot segmentation for gene quantification. The method introduces a novel combination of three image processing stages, applied locally to each spot image: i/ Fuzzy C-Means unsupervised clustering, for automatic spot background noise estimation, ii/ power spectrum deconvolution filter design, employing background noise information, for spot image...
