Join Hades on an exciting villainous adventure in this dazzling and vibrant graphic novel

by Luea Cardelli Ever since Strachey's work in the 1960's, polymorphism has been classified into the parametric and overloading varieties. Parametric polymorphism has been the subject of extensive study for over two decades. Overloading, on the other hand, has often been considered too ad hoc to deserve much attention even though it has been, in some form, an ingredient of virtually every programming lan guage (much more so than parametric polymorphism). With the introduction of object-oriented languages, and in particular with multiple-dispatch object-oriented languages, overloading has become less of a programming convenience and more of a fundamental feature in need of proper explanation. This book provides a compelling framework for the study of run-time over loading and of its interactions with subtyping and with parametric polymorphism. The book also describes applications to object-oriented programming. This new framework is motivated by the relatively recent spread of programming languages that are entirely based on run-time overloading; this fact probably explains why this subject was not investigated earlier. Once properly understood, overloading reveals itself relevant also to the study of older and more conventional (single dispatch) object-oriented languages, clarifying delicate issues of covariance and contravariance of method types, and of run-time type analysis. In the final chapters, a synthesis is made between parametric and overloading polymorphism."

The FX options market represents one of the most liquid and strongly competitive markets in the world, and features many technical subtleties that can seriously harm the uninformed and unaware trader.

This book is a unique guide to running an FX options book from the market maker perspective. Striking a balance between mathematical rigour and market practice and written by experienced practitioner Antonio Castagna, the book shows readers how to correctly build an entire volatility surface from the market prices of the main structures.

Starting with the basic conventions related to the main FX deals and the basic traded structures of FX options, the book gradually introduces the main tools to cope with the FX volatility risk. It then goes on to review the main concepts of option pricing theory and their application within a Black-Scholes economy and a stochastic volatility environment. The book also introduces models that can be implemented to price and manage FX options before examining the effects of volatility on the profits and losses arising from the hedging activity.

Coverage includes: how the Black-Scholes model is used in professional trading activitythe most suitable stochastic volatility modelssources of profit and loss from the Delta and volatility hedging activityfundamental concepts of smile hedgingmajor market approaches and variations of the Vanna-Volga methodvolatility-related Greeks in the Black-Scholes modelpricing of plain vanilla options, digital options, barrier options and the less well known exotic optionstools for monitoring the main risks of an FX options' book

The book is accompanied by a CD Rom featuring models in VBA, demonstrating many of the approaches described in the book.

A fully up-to-date, cutting-edge guide to the measurement and management of liquidity risk

Written for front and middle office risk management and quantitative practitioners, this book provides the ground-level knowledge, tools, and techniques for effective liquidity risk management. Highly practical, though thoroughly grounded in theory, the book begins with the basics of liquidity risks and, using examples pulled from the recent financial crisis, how they manifest themselves in financial institutions. The book then goes on to look at tools which can be used to measure liquidity risk, discussing risk monitoring and the different models used, notably financial variables models, credit variables models, and behavioural variables models, and then at managing these risks. As well as looking at the tools necessary for effective measurement and management, the book also looks at and discusses current regulation and the implication of new Basel regulations on management procedures and tools.

Set in Sydney's working-class western suburbs, No More Boats tells of a family whose unravelling lives collide with a refugee crisis known as the Tampa Affair, when over 400 hundred refugees were left stranded fifteen miles off the Australian coast. The story revolves around Antonio, an Italian immigrant, his wife Rose, with a rich back story of her own, and their two children, Nico and Claire, both, in their owns ways, drifting. After a work-related accident forces him into early retirement and the familiar scaffolding of work, family, the immigrant's dream of betterment, is removed from his life, Antonio's mind begins to fragment. Manipulated by the media and made vulnerable by his feeling of irrelevance, Antonio commits an act that makes him a lightning rod for the factions that are bitterly at odds over the 'immigrant question.'

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 18th European Symposium on Programming, ESOP 2009, held in York, UK, in March 2009, as part of ETAPS 2009, the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software.

The 26 revised full papers presented together with two abstracts of invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 98 full paper submissions. The topics addressed are typed functional programming, computational effects, types for object-oriented languages, verification, security, concurrency, service-oriented computing, parallel and concurrent programming.

In this volume 22 contributions by German and Italian scholars deal with a variety of aspects of Petroniusa (TM) Satyricon: historical and cultural context; rhetoric and linguistics; narrative; art; reception. The last of these sectionsincludes a critical edition as well as an interpretation of the philosopher Leibniza (TM)s reports on the performance of the Cena Trimlachionis at the court of Hanover.

Der Band enthAlt 21 BeitrAge deutscher und italienischer Gelehrter zu den Briefen und dem Panegyricus des jA1/4ngeren Plinius, die durch genaue Interpretationen versuchen, die Gedankenwelt dieses ReprAsentanten an der Wende vom 1. zum 2. Jh. n. Chr. unter den verschiedensten Gesichtspunkten (Literatur, Rhetorik, A"sthetik, Gesellschaft, Wirtschaft, Politik und Rezeption) in das Denken der RAmer seiner Zeit einzuordnen.

Die kurze Zeit des neronischen Prinzipates ist, nicht zuletzt aus der Sicht spAterer Rezeption, eine der herausragenden Phasen rAmischer Literatur und Kultur. Gleichwohl verfolgen die einzelnen altertumswissenschaftlichen Disziplinen dabei ganz unterschiedliche Problemstellungen. Der vorliegende Band, der die Ergebnisse eines interdisziplinAren Symposions vom 3.-6. Mai 2001 in der Vila Vigoni (Menaggio) versammelt, sucht erstmals A1/4bergreifend nach einer kulturellen Klammer. Den Focus bildet dabei die auffallend hAufige Verfahrensweise einer "Verkehrung." FA1/4r die unterschiedlichen Bereiche, von der neronischen Literatur bis zu archAologischen Zeugnissen, wird der Frage nachgegangen, inwieweit mit der Struktur der "Verkehrung" ein A1/4bergreifendes Leitkonzept der Zeit erfaAt ist. Dabei zeigt sich, daA viele EinzelphAnomene unter diesem Paradigma in ganz neuer Weise verstAndlich werden.

The book offers a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to the cutting edge arthroscopic transosseous techniques for the treatment of rotator cuff tears, which are gradually taking over from the common open surgical approach, defined as the gold standard for RCR. With the help of numerous figures, it presents step by step a novel all-arthroscopic anchorless transosseous suture technique that is less invasive and easier to perform. After discussing the etiopathogenesis, histopathology and radiological classification of rotator cuff tears, the book reviews all possible arthroscopic procedures and explores in detail suture management, describing single and double tunnel options. It also examines the complications and post-operative rehabilitation and imaging, while the closing chapter addresses the economic aspects of daily use. Intended primarily for arthroscopic surgeons interested in the field of shoulder joint repair, this exhaustive guide is also a valuable resource for residents and shoulder specialists.

A Bridge across the Ocean focuses on the relations between the United States and the Holy See from the First World War to the eve of the Second, through the combination of American, Italian, and Vatican sources. More than an overall picture of the American and Vatican foreign policy during the first half of the twentieth century, the book analyzes the U.S.-Vatican rapprochement in a multifaceted way, considering both the international and the internal sphere. A Bridge across the Ocean discusses the spread of anti-Catholicism in the United States during the first two decades of the twentieth century, and its repercussions on the American administrations' behavior during and after the Versailles Conference, together with the changes that occurred in the Holy See's attitude toward the American church and the White House after the election of Pope Pius XI. Luca Castagna explores the convergence of the New Deal legislation with the church's social thought, and demonstrates how the partial U.S.-Vatican rapprochement in 1939 resulted from Roosevelt and Pacelli's common aim to cooperate, as two of the most important and global moral powers in the struggle against Nazi-fascism. A Bridge across the Ocean deepens our understanding of American and church history during the first half of the twentieth Century, from the church-state relations to the identification of diplomatic strategies and priorities.

A recent trend in programming language research is to use behavioral type theory to ensure various correctness properties of large-scale, communication-intensive systems. Behavioral types encompass concepts such as interfaces, communication protocols, contracts, and choreography. The successful application of behavioral types requires a solid understanding of several practical aspects, from their representation in a concrete programming language, to their integration with other programming constructs such as methods and functions, to design and monitoring methodologies that take behaviors into account. Behavioral Types in Programming Languages provides the reader with the first comprehensive overview of the state of the art of these practical aspects, which are summarized as the pragmatics of behavioral types. Each section covers a particular programming paradigm or methodology, providing an ideal reference for programming languages researchers interested the topic, and in identifying the areas as yet unexplored.
