Appear to be some math errors in this book.......2002-05-08

I find this book to be well organized and easy to read. There is a great deal of useful material that does not go over anyone's head.

I think there are some math errors - I looked mostly in the CAPITAL BUDGETING chapter. On page 328, the present value of 3.3073 should be 3.0373 with disasterous results.

On page 348, the formulae for Standard Deviation appear to be totally wrong. Frankly I am amazed by these errors and they put most of the of math the book into serious question. I didn't continue into this chapter after this as I no longer trust the math - so beware and check for yourself.

This is unfortunate - except for some simple yet devastating errors, I like the book a great deal. Just too bad.

This book was not only helpful with creating our companies budget, but it went into complete detail of every day functions our company should be performing. It outlined who should be responsible for what aspects of not only the budget but for daily, weekly, and monthly reports. The book was complete with diagrams and easy to follow samples. It was an easy read besides. The book has become part of our reference library.

Book Description

Dynamic Portfolio Strategies: Quantitative Methods and Empirical Rules for Incomplete Information investigates optimal investment problems for stochastic financial market models. It is addressed to academics and students who are interested in the mathematics of finance, stochastic processes, and optimal control, and also to practitioners in risk management and quantitative analysis who are interested in new strategies and methods of stochastic analysis.

While there are many works devoted to the solution of optimal investment problems for various models, the focus of this book is on analytical strategies based on "technical analysis" which are model-free. The technical analysis of these strategies has a number of characteristics. Two of the more important characteristics are: (1) they require only historical data, and (2) typically they are more widely used by traders than analysis based on stochastic models. Hence it is the objective of this book to reduce the gap between model-free strategies and strategies that are "optimal" for stochastic models. We hope that researchers, students and practitioners will be interested in some of the new empirically based methods of "technical analysis" strategies suggested in this book and evaluated via stochastic market models.

Book Description

This volume contains the proceedings of the international symposium on the durability of disease resistance in plants. Durability of resistance in plants is a highly desired quality influenced, among other things, by the adaptability of the pathogen populations, cultivation methods, phytosanitation and the kind of resistance used. The chapters cover a wide variety of subjects, ranging from the analysis of some of the world's most important pathosystems; the genetic variation in pathogen populations and the variation in the hosts; the present efforts at breeding durable resistance, viewed from both the biotechnological and the classical approaches, is also covered.
This volume provides an opportunity for all those scientists, breeders and pathologists who are interested in the durability of disease resistance to obtain an insight into the research that is currently going on world-wide.

Book Description

The replacement of hydrogen with fluorine in organic molecules can profoundly influence their chemical and physical properties, leading to a range of compounds with highly desirable properties. These molecules are of interest across the wide spectrum of industrial and academic organic chemistry, so that organofluorine chemistry is economically highly important.Organofluorine Chemistry will help chemists to develop a systematic knowledge of the chemistry of fluorine with a view towards its application in the design of new reactions and syntheses, and the creation of novel fluorinated molecules and materials. With initial chapters focusing on why fluorine creates such unique properties in organic compounds, the book then covers general reactions of fluorine. Coverage is chosen from the recent research literature, concentrating on the development of novel bioactive compounds and catalytic ligands, and explaining, in the context of the initial chapters, how and why fluorine is so effective. With a final chapter covering the general synthetic chemistry of organofluorine compounds, the book is a cohesive summary of the fundamental principals of organofluorine chemistry.

Book Description

This book develops a statistical mechanical analysis of the stability of biological macromolecules. The author's approach is valid both for the long time-scale needed for DNA bond disruption, and also for highly cooperative transitions needed to explain helix melting. Prohofsky develops a new theoretical approach for executing macromolecule calculations. In particular the author devises a method for describing chemical bond disruption in these large systems, which is then used to determine when the helix melts and how drugs can dissociate from the helix. The author finds melting temperatures to be in excellent agreement with experimental observations.

She blows them all away.......2003-01-23

Hothead Paisan is not your two dimensional superhero, but superheroine she is. She boils all that is wrong with the world down to white guys who oppress everyone else. In a rage that has no equal she takes on the white male establishment with guns, grenades, chainsaws, baseball bats, and any other lethal weapon she can find. Spurred on by enormous doses of caffeine, this urban terrorist roams the city as the body count goes ever higher. Her holy rage is beautifully counterpointed by her cat Chicken, her blind friend Roz, and a deity in a table lamp that calls herself Donna Summer. These three try to bring love and peace to Hothead's tortured soul. The illustrations perfectly portray the highly emotive Hothead and her range of feelings. This first volume of her comix contains #s 1-9. But why settle for part when you can have the Complete Hothead Paisan (#s 1-21) published by Cleis Press in 1999?

This book is the bible-I swear!.......1999-10-21

Hothead Paison is a classic! She gives the word fe-muh-nist a new meaning! Definitely someone for all of us strapping young dykes to look up to!! Everyone should read the books of Her Royal Hotheadedness, they will give you insight to life itself!!!

One of the greatest escapes from stupidity around........1997-10-13

Stupid men beware! Hothead Paisan, Homicidal Lesbian Terrorist, is coming! This is one of the best books I've ever read, a pointed look at the problems of todays world and an amazing escape from those problems as Hothead kills her way through them, destroying men left and right. She's not the heroine for politically-correct types, but for those who would like a bit of action and positive change in their lives, there's no one better than Hothead Paisan to cheer you up.

This book is bound to leave you speechless--either due to slack-jawed shock or belly-aching laughter. It is, as the title does suggest, about a homicidal lesbian terrorist, and all that you might imagine this entails: men-hating, men-bashing, men-dismemberment. Those who are uncomfortable with over-the-top stereotypes should steer way clear of this book. But for the open-minded reader (not limited to militant lesbians), this is one heck of a ride.

Wonderful!.......2000-03-22

What can I say that hasn't been said? Bodacious, salacious, outrageous, delicious. You don't have to be a lesbian to love this book either. Straight men should HAVE to read it-- they shouldn't have any more trouble identifying with Hothead than we've had identifying with all those "universal" straight, white, male, ablebodied, middle-class heroes! (Oh, that was sarcasm, btw...)

the best comic hero/heroine ever created.......1999-01-06

I can't imagine anyone reading this comic and not being inspired. Whenever I feel deflated I know that after a fix of Hothead all will be well in my world. I just pray that Diane Dimassa will shortly put us out of our misery with some further tales of Hothead. Chicken for president!!!

You must accept Hothead Paisan into your life.......1998-11-20

This book is a must for any earth inhabitant who feels like she/he doesn't belong. Hothead welcomes you into her world where "weirdoes" unite for peace and love. Feel the love, baby. Chicken rules!

Hothead is my saviour.......1998-04-22

Hothead is the person I would be if I weren't me! Diane di Massa is so brave and funny and insightful, that after one of those unbearable days, I come home and read about HH, and all that anger is channelled back into creativity. Buy this book!
