We propose a pricing method by mathematical programming for swing options with typical constraints on a lattice model. We show that the problem of pricing typical swing options has a particular optimal solution such that there are only seven kinds of changed amounts in the solution. Using the solution, we formulate the pricing problem as a linear program. The solution can be applied to the meth...

Under Medicare, swing beds are beds that can be used by small rural hospitals to furnish both acute and post-acute care. The swing-bed program was instituted under the provisions of the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1980 (Public Law 96-499). Under Medicare, post-acute care in the hospital would be covered as services equivalent to skilled nursing facility level of care. Data show that the progr...

BACKGROUND The maxillary swing procedure has been used as an anterolateral approach to expose the nasopharynx, the central skull base, and its vicinity. The reported incidence of postoperative palatal fistula has ranged from 20% to 25%. The oronasal incompetence especially associated with a large fistula has adversely affected normal speech, eating, and swallowing functions. We describe a modif...

Golf has become an increasingly popular sport and a growing body of research trying to identify its main physical requirements is being published. The aim of this review was twofold: first, to examine the existing scientific literature regarding strength training and golf in healthy, non-injured, subjects; and second, to reach conclusions that could provide information on how to design more eff...

Low power, high-speed bus architectures, based on low swing voltage technique, using multithreshold voltage transistors are proposed in this paper. Three different classes of driver/repeater/receiver circuits are introduced. The driver circuits are comprised of high threshold voltage MOSFET transistors, in order to reduce their output swing level voltage. For re-pulling up the low swing voltage...

A telescopic cascode opamp typically has a higher frequency capability and consumes less power than other topologies. The disadvantage of a telescopic opamp is severely limited output swing. In a conventional telescopic opamp shown in Figure 1, all transistors are biased in the saturation region. Transistors M1-M2, M7-M8 and the tail current source M9 must have at least Vds,sat to offer a good ...

This paper concerns the application of reduced order modeling techniques to power grid simulation. Swing dynamics is a complex non-linear phenomenon due to which model order reduction of these problems is intricate. A multi point linearization based model reduction technique trajectory piece-wise linearization (TPWL) method is adopted to address the problem of approximating the nonlinear term i...

The Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) implemented a swing-bed demonstration and evaluation program for rural communities in the 1970's. The demonstration substantiated the cost effectiveness of providing long-term care in small, rural, acute care hospitals. As a result, Section 904 of the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1980 (Public Law 96-499) authorized the national swing-bed program,...

aim and background: mood disorders are a significant group of psychiatric disorders. bipolar spectrum disorders are mood disorders that usually remain unrecognized and subsequently undertreated. one of the most useful screening instruments for underdiagnosed bipolar disorders is the mood disorder questionnaire (mdq). this paper presented the persian version and psychometric properties of mdq fo...

A bridge crane is often used in a complex environment and subject to the interference of all loads. Some uncertain factors have an inevitable impact on its swing. So force situation during working cycle analyzed, three-dimensional dynamic mathematical model built. Through simulation analysis under action driving wind load, change law swing angle studied. Then, fuzzy control theory determine par...
