The integrity of the rodent anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is essential for various aspects of instrumental behavior, but it is not clear if the ACC is important for the acquisition of a simple instrumental response. Here, it was demonstrated that post-session infusions of anisomycin into the rat ACC completely prevented the acquisition of instrumental responding. The experimental use of post-...

Brands influence the choice of customers, employees, investors and government authorities. In a world of abundant choices such influence is crucial for commercial success and creation of shareholder value. Even non-profit organis...

let r be a ring and v be a matrix valuation on r. it is shown that, there exists a correspondence between matrix valuations on r and some special subsets ?(mvpr) of the set of all square matrices over r, analogous to the correspondence between invariant valuation rings and abelian valuation functions on a division ring. furthermore, based on malcolmson’s localization, an alternative proof for t...

As intellectual property (IP) has become an integral part of business strategy, the valuation of these assets has become more and more critical. Consequently, the strategic decisions of Indian SMEs also increasingly depend on understanding the economics affecting the value of these assets and most crucially appraising the approximate value of their IP.

A Neural Network Approach to Efficient Valuation of Large VA Portfolios Seyed Amir Hejazi Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Computer Science University of Toronto 2016 Variable annuity (VA) products expose insurance companies to considerable risk because of the guarantees they provide to buyers of these products. Managing and hedging the risks associated with VA products requires intr...

In this paper, we describe several methods for the valuation of performance-dependent options. Thereby, we use a multidimensional Black-Scholes model for the temporal development of the asset prices. The martingale approach then yields the fair price as a multidimensional integral whose dimension is the number of stochastic processes in the model. The integrand is typically discontinuous, thoug...

This study explores a credit derivative pricing model with counterparty risk and the contagion effect. To compare with the standard credit derivative pricing model, we analyze the counterparty risk and the contagion effect to a kthto-default Basket Credit Linked Note (BCLN) valuation by Monte Carlo simulation. Counterparty risk and the contagion effect show significant influence for kth-to-defa...

Nowadays, the appetite for the investment and mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity in RFID companies is growing rapidly. Although the huge number of papers have addressed the topic of business valuation models based on statistical methods or neural network methods, only a few are dedicated to constructing a general framework for business valuation that improves the performance with network g...
