Optimization

2004 y.
Publisher: Springer
Description: Finite-dimensional optimization problems occur throughout the mathematical sciences. The majority of these problems cannot be solved analytically. This introduction to optimization attempts to strike a balance between presentation of mathematical theory and development of numerical algorithms. Building on students` skills in calculus and linear algebra, the text provides a rigorous exposition without undue abstraction and can serve as a bridge to more advanced treatises on nonlinear and convex programming. The emphasis on statistical applications will be especially appealing to graduate students of statistics and biostatistics. The intended audience also includes graduate students in applied mathematics, computational biology, computer science, economics, and physics as well as upper division undergraduate majors in mathematics who want to see rigorous mathematics combined with real applications. Chapter 1 reviews classical methods for the exact solution of optimization… [detailed...]

Optimize Now (Or Else: How to Leverage Processes and Information to Achieve Enterprise Optimization (And Avoid Enterprise Extinction

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Companies are often their own worst enemies. Work is performed in disconnected functional and geographic silos, making it impossible to achieve end-to-end effectiveness. Optimal decision-making is impeded due to our overwhelming lack of quality information. In Optimize Now (or else!) , David Fisher identifies the source of many of these problems and attacks them at their core. He explores the critical importance of processes and information that represent both the root of the problems and the greatest opportunity for dramatic improvement. Fisher introduces new leadership in the Chief Process and Information Officer and in the Process and Information Department, and specifies how to position these roles for enterprise-wide success.

Optimized ASIP Synthesis from Architecture Description Language Models

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: For the first time advances in semiconductor manufacturing do not lead to a corresponding increase in performance. At 65 nm and below it is predicted that only a small portion of performance increase will be attributed to shrinking geometries while the lion share is due to innovative processor architectures. To substantiate this assertion it is instructive to look at major drivers of the semiconductor industry: wireless communications and multimedia. Both areas are characterized by an exponentially increasing demand of computational power, which cannot be provided in an energy-efficient manner by traditional processor architectures. Today’s applications in wireless communications and multimedia require highly specialized and optimized architectures. New software tools and a sophisticated methodology above RTL are required to answer the challenges of designing an optimized application specific processor (ASIP). This book offers an automated and fully integrated… [detailed...]

Optimizing Molecular Methods to Detect Human Caliciviruses in Environmental Samples

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Among the human caliciviruses, noroviruses are the most common cause of acute gastroenteritis in humans. Exposure to contaminated water is considered a significant health risk because of the low minimal infectious dose. Many published molecular methods are based on the detection of noroviruses in stool samples and limited data is available on their limit of detection. This project attempted to develop novel and rapid real-time RT-PCR based methods for the sensitive detection of noroviruses in environmental water samples. The objectives of this project were to (1) develop and evaluate a carbohydrate ligand-binding assay for the purification of noroviruses from reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) interfering substances, (2) develop a real-time RT-PCR assay for noroviruses, (3) compare and evaluate previously published and recently developed primer pairs targeting different regions of the norovirus genome in a conventional RT-PCR assay, and (4) use the developed… [detailed...]

Optimizing Oracle Performance

2003 y.
Publisher: O`Reilly
Description: Oracle system performance inefficiencies often go undetected for months or even years - even under intense scrutiny - because traditional Oracle performance analysis methods and tools are fundamentally flawed. They`re unreliable and inefficient. Oracle DBAs and developers are all too familiar with the outlay of time and resources, blown budgets, missed deadlines, and marginally effective performance fiddling that is commonplace with traditional methods of Oracle performance tuning. In this crucial book, Cary Millsap, former VP of Oracle`s System Performance Group, clearly and concisely explains how to use Oracle`s response time statistics to diagnose and repair performance problems. Cary also shows how `queuing theory` can be applied to response time statistics to predict the impact of upgrades and other system changes. Optimizing Oracle Performance eliminates the time-consuming, trial-and-error guesswork inherent in most conventional approaches to tuning. You… [detailed...]

Publisher: Human Kinetics Publishers
Description: The strength training strategy of linear periodization has long been recognized as an efficient system of resistance training. But-until now-no one had researched and explored the potential benefits of a nonlinear periodization training program. Authors William Kraemer and Steven Fleck delve into nonlinear, or undulating, periodization to examine how it can result in long-term fitness and performance gains by adding more variety to workouts and optimizing each training session. In doing so, Dr. Kraemer and Dr. Fleck pioneer this newest periodization training technique and have become the leading proponents of this unique training method. Their innovative approach to strength training is shown to facilitate the training process and enhance performance, a fact Dr. Kraemer has demonstrated in several ongoing studies with basketball teams at the University of Connecticut. `Optimizing Strength Training: Designing Nonlinear Periodization Workouts` explains how nonlinear… [detailed...]

Opting Out?: Why Women Really Quit Careers and Head Home

2007 y.

Description: Noting a phenomenon that might seem to recall a previous era, The New York Times Magazine recently portrayed women who leave their careers in order to become full-time mothers as `opting out.` But, are high-achieving professional women really choosing to abandon their careers in order to return home? This provocative study is the first to tackle this issue from the perspective of the women themselves. Based on a series of candid, in-depth interviews with women who returned home after working as doctors, lawyers, bankers, scientists, and other professions, Pamela Stone explores the role that their husbands, children, and coworkers play in their decision, how women`s efforts to construct new lives and new identities unfold once they are home, and where their aspirations and plans for the future lie. What we learn--contrary to many media perceptions--is that these high-flying women are not opting out but are instead being pushed out of the workplace.

Option Prices as Probabilities: A New Look at Generalized Black-Scholes Formulae (Springer Finance)

2010 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The Black-Scholes formula plays a central role in Mathematical Finance, it gives the right price at which buyer and seller can agree with, in the geometric Brownian framework, when strike K and maturity T are given. This yields an explicit well-known formula, obtained by Black and Scholes in 1973. The present volume gives another representation of this formula in terms of Brownian last passages times, which, to our knowledge, has ever been made in this sense. The volume is devoted to various extensions and discussions of features and quantities stemming from the last passages times representation in the Brownian case such as: past-future martingales, last passage times up to a finite horizon, pseudo-inverses of processes… They are developed in eight chapters, with complements, appendices and exercises.

Option Pricing and Portfolio Optimization: Modern Methods of Financial Mathematics (Graduate Studies in Mathematics, 31)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Understanding and working with the current models of financial markets requires a sound knowledge of the mathematical tools and ideas from which they are built. Banks and financial houses all over the world recognize this and are avidly recruiting mathematicians, physicists, and other scientists with these skills. The mathematics involved in modern finance springs from the heart of probability and analysis: the Ito calculus, stochastic control, differential equations, martingales, and so on. Theauthors give rigorous treatments of these topics, while always keeping the applications in mind. Thus, the way in which the mathematics is developed is governed by the way it will be used, rather than by the goal of optimal generality. Indeed, most of purely mathematical topics are treated in extended `excursions` from the applications into the theory. Thus, with the main topic of financial modelling and optimization in view, the reader also obtains a self-contained and complete… [detailed...]
