This paper suggests a stochastic volatility term-structure model applied to the pricing of electricity swaptions in the Nord Pool market. The volatility structure in the model is specified as a product of a time-dependent function that handles the maturity effect, and a Cox-Ingersoll-Ross process that captures the volatility smile. We employ a Fourier based approach to price electricity swaptions

This article traces the development of art cinema in Britain and particularly the role played by film director Lindsay Anderson.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Tunna skikt av olika material har en framträdande roll inom både vetenskap och teknik idag. Det bakomliggande intresset för denna typ av ytbeläggningar är främst möjligheten att kombinera egenskaper hos de tunna filmerna med övriga egenskaper från det underliggande materialet för att därigenom erhålla förbättrade kemiska, mekaniska eller elektriska egenskaper. DärutöverAtomic layer deposition (ALD) is a thin-film manufacturing process in which the growth surface is exposed to non-overlapping alternating injections of gas-phase chemical precursor species separated by intermediate purge periods to prevent gas-phase reactions. ALD is characterized by sequential self-terminating heterogeneous reactions between highly reactive gas-phase precursor species and surface-

Annotated data with role-semantic information are becoming an ever more important resource for many semantic systems. They form the core element to develop large coverage, high-performance, and reusable semantic parsers, classifiers as well as applications that include lexicography, term and information extraction, semantic processing of the web, text-to-scene conversion systems, etc. Existing exa

Jesper Svenbro’s poetry can be understood as forming a lyrical poetics. This poetics can be extracted from the many poems that focus and reflect on the ontology of poetry and language, the creation and different functions of lyrical poetry, and the question of reference. This dissertation highlights the main principles of this poetics, charts its development over time, and shows the different ways

An extensive high-spin level scheme has been established in 59Cu using a heavy-ion fusion evaporation reaction and the GAMMASPHERE multidetector array in conjunction with MICROBALL. Next to the spherical states at low excitation energy a large number of regular sequences of high-energy γ-ray transitions have been observed, which form rotational bands with various degree of deformation. For the yra

Embedded systems are a characteristic but intangible part of an embedding environment. This poses a severe testing problem that gets further aggravated in embedded networks. The co-presence of hardware and software needs both behavioral and structural aspects to be covered, preferably by a single on-chip paradigm. The paper investigates the potential role of neural networks and introduces a Built-
