Continuously Paying Options (CPOs) form a very natural class of derivatives for hedging risks coming from adverse movements of a continuously traded asset. We study the rate of convergence of CPOs evaluated under the binomial tree scheme when the payout function φ is piecewise C subject to some boundedness conditions. We show that if φ is continuous, the rate of convergence is n−1 while it is n...

This paper presents two categories of effective continuous cpos. We define a new criterion on the basis of a cpo as to make the resulting category of consistently complete continuous cpos cartesian closed. We also generalise the definition of a complete set, used as a definition of effective bifinite domains in [HSH02], and investigate what closure results that can be obtained.

background patient safety is one of the major issues which are concerned with the world health organization (who) and the medical community in developing and developed countries. based on studies, about 10 % of patients admitted in hospitals will be damaged. objectives the aim of this study was to evaluate patient safety climate among nurses and their roles for predicting medical errors. patien...

Abstract The crust of southern Tibet shows strong azimuthal and radial seismic anisotropies. However, their origin has remained ambiguous. Here we characterized the composition, microstructure, properties amphibole-rich deep-crust xenoliths exhumed rocks from a terrane in Tibet. show typical magmatic textures have amphiboles with homogenous chemical low intracrystalline deformation, but crystal...

Perhaps the most important and striking fact of domain theory is that important categories of domains are cartesian closed. This means that the category has a terminal object, finite products, and exponents. The only problematic part for domains is the exponent, which in this setting means the space of continuous functions. Cartesian closed categories of domains are well understood and the unde...

PURPOSE Few studies have examined the psychological factors underlying the association between cell phone use and motor vehicle crash. We sought to examine the factor structure and convergent validity of a measure of problematic cell phone use, and to explore whether compulsive cell phone use is associated with a history of motor vehicle crash. METHODS We recruited a sample of 383 undergradua...

We construct a powerdomain in a category whose objects are posets of data equipped with a cpo of \intensional" representations of the data, and whose morphisms are those monotonic functions between posets that are \realized" by continuous functions between the associated cpos. The category of cpos is contained as a full subcategory that is preserved by lifting, sums, products and function space...

conclusions although, successful implementation of high reliability organizations is based on knowledge of managers and supervisors, the effectiveness of this model is still in the maturity and readiness phase. results after holding high reliability model training course, 52.2% of respondents expressed obtaining a keen knowledge of high reliability organizations model. compared to knowledge of ...
