We use path integrals to calculate hedge parameters and efficacy of hedging in a quantum field theory generalization of the Heath, Jarrow, and Morton [Robert Jarrow, David Heath, and Andrew Morton, Econometrica 60, 77 (1992)] term structure model, which parsimoniously describes the evolution of imperfectly correlated forward rates. We calculate, within the model specification, the effectiveness...

This article assesses the notion of ecological awareness through a re-reading Giovanni Boccaccio’s classic Decameron, together with Sigmund Freud and Timothy Morton. The purpose is not primarily to trace antecedents modern late thought, but rather follow loop that in different ways tangible their works links them despite temporal thematic differences. If Morton possess heuristic value for Bocca...

Morton Paglin recently proposed a new summary statistic~ the "Paglin-Gini," which he uses to measure an.d analyze the level and trend of income inequality in the United States. In contrast with the standard Lorenz-Gini, which counts all income differences among living units in measuring inequality, the Paglin-Gini defines meaningful inequality to include only the differences in family incomes t...

I t has been more than 50 years since the discipline was split by the difficulty of studying “power” and “influence.” Writers such as E. E. Schattschneider (1960) and Peter Bachrach and Morton Baratz (1962) brought our attention to the scope of conflict and those issues kept off the agenda as fundamental strategies of political control. Schattschneider wrote that the struggle over what to fight...

The recurrent pain of a neuroma following surgical excision and burial of nerve endings can be clinically challenging to manage. Cryoanalgesia in conjunction with ultrasound guidance was used successfully to manage this type of pain. Furthermore, ultrasound provided visualization of the cryolesions, as well as the relationships of the ice ball to the surrounding tissue. Following the completion...
