This essay argues that an examination of comedy in the USA reveals the extent to which collective memory of the Holocaust evolved during the 20th and early 21st centuries. Using sources taken from the domain of mainstream American comedy since the 1930s, the analysis evidences how, following an initial reluctance to represent the genocide within…[Read more]

Research into emotions is a developing field within Assyriology, and NLP tools for Akkadian texts offers new perspectives on the data. We use PMI-based word embeddings to explore the relationship between parts of the body and emotions. Using data downloaded from Oracc, we ask which parts of the body were semantically linked to emotions. We do this…[Read more]

The purpose of the model is to calculate the credit spread sensitivity, correlation sensitivity, and default sensitivity via analytic methods for index CDO trades and bespoke CDO trades. The credit spread sensitivity is defined as the change in the MTM by perturbing the credit spread by a small amount; the default sensitivity is calculated by…[Read more]

Objetivo: determinar las formas en las que las métricas de evaluación soportan la gestión editorial de las revistas científicas en Colombia. Diseño/Metodología/Enfoque: la investigación clasificó como descriptiva documental. El diseño permitió el análisis de métricas utilizadas en la gestión editorial de revistas clasificadas por Publindex de…[Read more]

A pricing model for capped-accumulated-return-call (CARC) with volatility surface is presented. Proprietary approaches to interpreting volatility surface are employed during pricing. To accelerate the convergence when low discrepancy sequences are used in Monte Carlo simulation (Quasi-Monte Carlo simulation), the Brownian Bridge Path…[Read more]
