Abstract:

Level crossing times and their applications in finance are of importance, given certain threshold levels that represent the "desirable" or "sell" values of a stock. In this thesis, we make use of Wald's lemmas and various deep results from renewal theory, in the context of finance, in modelling the growth of a portfolio of stocks. Several models are employed .

Abstract:

Students at university encounter quantitative information in tables and graphs or through prose in textbooks, journals, electronic sources and in lectures. The degree to which students are able to engage with this kind of information and draw their own conclusions, influences the extent to which they need to rely on the interpretation of others. In particular, students who are studying in non-mathematical disciplines often fail to engage seriously with such material for a number of reasons. These may include a lack of confidence in their ability to do mathematics, a lack of mathematical skills

This study examined the effects of a learning environment (embodying many of De Corte et al.’s, (2004) CLIA-model components) on secondary students’ mathematical beliefs. Such mathematical beliefs have been of interest to the research community due to their expected impact on students’ willingness to engage in mathematical problem-solving. This research adopted an action research methodology using a quasi-experimental sequential explanatory mixed methods design. Data was collected using the Mathematics Related Beliefs Questionnaire (MRBQ) and a number of focus groups and individual interviews

Abstract:

Before the introduction of degree programmes in 1983, the route followed by technician engineers being trained in Hong Kong, particularly at the Hong Kong Polytechnic, was quite unique. About 680 students are admitted into the eight Higher Diploma engineering programmes at Higher Technician level each year at the Hong Kong Polytechnic. The students first took a three-year Higher Diploma programme, continued for a one-year Associateship programme and finally sat the Engineering Council Part II Examinations, thus fulfilling the academic requirements for Chartered Engineer status.

Abstract:

The degree of level dependence in interest rate volatility is analysed in the linearrational term structure model. The linear-rational square-root (LRSQ) model, where level dependence is set a priori, is compared to a specification where the factor process follows CEV-type dynamics which allows a more flexible degree of level dependence. Parameters are estimated using an unscented Kalman filter in conjunction with quasi-maximum likelihood. An extended specification for the state price density process is required to ensure reliable parameter estimates. The empirical analysis indicates that the

The Linear-Rational Framework for the modelling of interest rates is a framework which allows for the addition of spanned and unspanned factors, while maintaining a lower bound on rates and tractable valuation of interest rate derivatives, particularly swaptions. The advantages of having all these properties are significant. This dissertation presents the Linear-Rational Framework, and specializes the factor process to a class of diffusion models which allows for the degree of state dependence of volatility to be estimated. This dissertation then finds that the estimated state dependent volati

Both the engineering-production and the generative functions were determined. The closed system of equations for the distribution function moment was put down in the zero approximation.

The investigator's experience of teaching mathematics at a college of education since 1983 has reinforced his conviction that trainee students come to college with significant gaps, weaknesses and faults in their (mathematical) conceptual structures, probably as a result of shortcomings in the mathematics teaching to which they have been exposed. The theme of this investigation is thus a natural choice that appeared to be of immediate relevance to secondary school mathematics teaching.

In this thesis a specific birth and growth process is analyzed; namely a mass crystallization process, where growth is driven by supersaturation only. Based on purely physical grounds, a multifronts moving boundary model is derived and a non-linear condition for the concentration arises on the boundary. The deterministic growth model is completed by considering stochastic nucleations in space and time. A new formulation of the deterministic process based on the Schwartz distributions is proposed. This formulation is well adapted for a numerical solution in a multi-fronts framework and a fixed

Disorder of bone remodelling cycle can result in metabolic bone diseases, such as postmenopausal osteoporosis, hypothyroidism and primary hyperparathyroidism.

Engineering design is hierarchical in nature, and if no attempt is made to benefit from this hierarchical nature, design optimization can be very expensive. There are two alternatives to taking advantage of the hierarchical nature of structural design problems. Multi-level optimization techniques incorporate the hierarchy at the formulation stage, and result in the coordinated optimization of a hierarchy of subsystems. The use of multi-level optimization techniques often necessitates the use of equality constraints. These constraints can sometimes cause numerical difficulties during optimizati
